/v/ - Video Games

hey cake kike what's up

>>15878715

Not much, just doing some Laundry. Thinking of getting a corned beef and turkey sandwich for lunch.

>report people who you think are arguing with themselves

>who you think

>think

We all know this will just be used to report people you disagree with to get them banned, using "ID hopping" as an excuse.

>>15878723

No, we're talking legitimate cases of people IP hopping and arguing with themselves on a VPN.

>>15878723

Here's an archive.

https://archive.fo/pTXG3

>>15878727

How would you prove that anyway?

>>15878734

People who argue with themselves often use the same typing patterns, sometimes it's obvious sometimes it's not.

>>15878737

>implying

>>15878746

It's not difficult, you can tell by how fast they get a response and what is it they type.

>>15878734

You couldn't. If anything just report two individuals who are derailing a thread with off topic political shit. If it's unrelated to the thread then we'll take care of it.

>>15878735

True Hotpocketism has never been tried.

>>15878737

Yeah, that too. In any case, just report someone you think is shitting up a thread.

>>15878757

But we always play video games.

>feel free to leave some feedback

>we won't listen, but feel free.

Fuck off, none of us want you. You're a fucking censorship loving kike.

>>15878705

Look at the fucking catalog. Why are there so many political threads allowed?

>Portrayal of LGBTWs in video games is a mixed bag

>Gaming is doomed? (shitpost)

>Netflix Bloodborne series (shitpost)

>More Gamers Prefer Playing as male character in Asscreed Odyssey

and many more threads like this that discuss issues that affect the industry, instead of discussing actual video games.

SUGGESTION

Make a dedicated cyclical sticky for "video game industry" news. Not every one of these threads deserves a place on the catalog. I thought that the GG threads were supposed to contain this shit. They aren't, and there are more threads about this filth than are permissible, in my opinion.

>>15878767

His next response will be "that's the GG thread"

>>15878767

>Gaming is doomed

>political

>>15878770

Well it kinda is, but the news itself is video games related. That's something we've been allowing since day one.

>>15878705

>arguing with themselves

I had to take a step back to really let this sink in and fully realize how fucking autistic this shit is. Please seek help if you do this.

Also mark are you ever going to do another Dev Q&A? Been a while since those happened and they were always cool. I don't have any suggestions on who to invite though, just wondering.

>>15878767

>Make a dedicated cyclical sticky for "video game industry" news. Not every one of these threads deserves a place on the catalog.

Yes the GG threads are supposed to be containment for this nu-/pol/ garbage. Please make and enforce a rule confining it to that thread and that thread alone.

>>15878776

I really REALLY want too, but no one ever answers the emails I send.

>>15878767

This is the same thought process that led to moot's banning gamergate and general downfall. Please do not do this. /v/'s catalog for better or for worse represents the current state of the industry and if the industry is intent on censoring everything that's what people will want to discuss. Artificially limiting it to one thread just hides the truth.

What if I like the porn being dumped?

>>15878767

>Make a dedicated cyclical sticky for "video game industry" news.

You'd be right to assume that this belongs into the GG threads. Anyone who gives a shit about "news" already shitposts in them and those who don't care don't visit them.

Any other news threads should be removed unless they are actually important and not "journalist X did Y for the millionth time!".

>>15878774

Also, whatever happened to the idea of a cyclical webm thread? They've been nothing but reposts from the last 4 years and nobody even tries to make new ones that aren't shit.

Kikes are threatening a false-flag emp apparently, I guess the yellow vest shit spooked them.

>A presidential panel on Thursday called for immediate attention to the imminent threat of a national blackout, lasting possibly six months, from a terrorist or solar attack on the nation’s electric grid.

>Electricity, fuel, clean drinking water, wastewater services, food/refrigeration, emergency medical services, communications capabilities, and some access to financial services have been identified as critical lifeline services that would be needed to sustain local communities and prevent mass migration.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/federal-panel-warns-of-national-blackout-in-emp-attack

Mark will just conveniently ignore any hard questions and criticism like he always does and nothing useful will be done to improve the board or his behavior. Same shit as always.

yo mark

penis, yeah

>>15878787

>>15878778

Claiming that the gamergate thread is containment or similar shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what it's for and of this board's history and very culture. /v/ was born of gamergate and the entire board itself is gamergate. The thread exists only to cover things like organised digging not to contain anything because trying to contain gamergate to a single thread is like saying 'contain the entire reason we're here to this one thread'. Containment threads exist to prevent something from leaking out into the wider board but gamergate and the ideas behind it are so ingrained into /v/ that leaks isn't a concept. The gamergate thread is actually a way of combining up all that underlying autism and focussing it onto what actually matters.

>>15878785

>liking tails shitting on toddlers

That's some sick shit.

>>15878784

Yeah I know, I'm not an idiot. Video Game Industry related news is video games. We can't really dictate it since it's on topic and the OPs are well made. If anything you can make more threads related to other video game topics in order to shift the balance.

>>15878785

This. We should have a poll about what porn is allowed for dumping and what porn isn't so I can rig it for my fetishes so mods have an easier time knowing what should be banned and what's just funposting

>>15878784

>>15878801

The problem isn't vidya politics being discussed, it's the incessant stormfaggotry and virtue signalling going on.

>look i said jew/kike/nigger and posted a Hitler pic

>am i cool yet my fellow alt-rightists!?

Newfags need to lurk before posting. /leftypol/ and /pol/ need to fuck off and stop shitposting their totalitarian ideologies in every thread. You can't have a discussion about vidya politics without a marxist or neo-nazi sperging out and hijacking the thread.

>>15878803

>anons are banned from using e-coms

>we rise up and start the NSF-equivalent

I wouldn't mind that

>>15878805

>everything apart from gay, scat and tranny shit is fine

There, done.

>>15878800

Yeah, pretty much. Like I wouldn't call it a containment since it has its place on the board. It's basically our "vidya activism general" so to speak.

>>15878811

Report those niggers for being off topic.

>>15878800

>hows a fundamental misunderstanding of what it's for

Well I'm sorry that I neither want to fuck Galko, post first for benis, avatarfag as Asuka, post furry porn for Marche, drive trucks into crows with Val, suck the dick of an attentionwhoring gook or jerk off to a guy pretending to be a japanese housewife on twitter.

I just really want to talk about video games, anon.

>>15878805

You know what else was funposting? HITLER

>>15878800

Or think about it like this:

>containment threads

'We want to take this cancer that does not belong on the board and isolate it so it does not change the culture of the board'

<gamergate thread

'We want to gather up the already existing culture of the board and focus it into specific projects instead of just general anger at the industry'

The gamergate thread was never supposed to be containment and it's revisionism to think it was. It exists for those anons who want to funnel their anger into something productive to organise and work together in like the gamergate boards were pre-drama. This is different to threads covering the news because they're there for everyone who just wants to discuss the news not for those who want to go further and fight it but it's important to expose people to this news so once they reach their personal limit for tolerating this bullshit they'll swap from simple anger/depression into actively fighting.

>>15878805

Anything 2D and vidya related should be fine.

>>15878818

>doesn't want to fuck Galko

something is wrong with you my friend

>>15878783

Fug. Out of curiosity, who have you tried to contact?

>>15878818

Marche isn't even in those threads anymore, also I try to make an effort to tell my team to bully Acidman when he's avatarfagging.

>>15878814

>It's basically our "vidya activism general" so to speak.

Exactly what I meant. The gamergate thread is for activism but the news threads are for simply discussing the news. These are different things even if most people start out just discussing the news and eventually graduate into fighting this bullshit.

>>15878811

A lot of that is people false flagging to try and cause drama.

>>15878767

Fuck off.

If anons see a bunch of things happening related to gaming, clearly they'll want to discuss them. There's no need to relegate it all to a single thread.

There's this cool site called cuckchannel that will ban this type of discussion if it upsets you that much, I suggest you go back there.

>>15878823

>>15878831

I generally avoid fucking someone else's waifu, thank you very much.

>>15878828

Good. Also, in case you missed it, I asked you about the idea of cyclical webm threads that was proposed a long time ago since the threads are nothing but reposts of shit that is years old.

>>15878811

Then you pretty much eliminate 99% of all of /v/'s traffic.

>>15878826

Capcom, Square Enix, SEGA, Nintendo, DotEmu, Respawn, Sony, CD Projekt Red. I wanted to try THQNordic next, but the email shit is demoralizing.

>>15878746

It's actually possible. Certain people have preferences to certain words and phrases because not everyones vocabulary is robust

>>15878800

This sounded like a nice platitude until I took a look at the current Gamergate thread, which I've not done in about three years. It's absolutely a containment thread for autism, and not the kind of autism you're talking about.

>>15878811

>stormfaggotry

There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying the words 'nigger', 'kike', 'faggot', 'spic', etc as many times as someone feels like. There's also nothing wrong with posting Hitler pictures. Again, if this type of thing upsets you, why don't you go to sites that will ban it like cuckchan?

>>15878845

The thread varies between doing things and a bit of light shitposting. Taking only one thread in isolation isn't representative of what actually gets done.

>>15878833

No, we have to combine funposting with chaika. only then will it truly be funposting.

but seriously, porn games and the like are fine. Dumping contributes nothing to the threads though, it's just spamming images for the sake of MUH DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.

>>15878800

>fundamental misunderstanding of what it's for and of this board's history and culture

>contain the entire reason we're here to one thread

>>15878801

>We can't really dictate it since it's on topic and the OPs are well made

>shift the balance

>>15878838

You're so full of shit. This is a board about video games and video game discussion. I don't think these political issues surrounding the industry have a place on this board. Whether or not GG is supposed to be a containment thread is besides the point, these constant clickbait-esque articles only give people who want to discuss politics a reason to do so, encourage more shitstirring and shitposting than what could normally be incited, and they may possibly give certain publications more traffic, even if the OPs only contain archives to the original articles in question. These things do not need to shit up the board. Nobody is saying that you shouldn't be able to discuss current issues in the industry, just that they shouldn't be the primary focus of the board itself.

>>15878847

How many threads would it take to establish that there's a problem?

>>15878846

Of course there's nothing wrong with it, but if a thread about Sakurai saying that "all melee fags are niggers" turn into how Hitler should've gassed the blacks and mexicans in addition to the Jews then that's a no go.

>>15878849

It doesn't matter whether you think they fit here, what matters is that they're welcome here and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

If you have a problem with people discussing these things, go back to sites that will cater to your tastes and ban them such as reddit or cuckchan.

All a cyclical will do is give /leftykikes/ and centrists more of an excuse to whine about 'muh /pol/ boogeyman' whenever someone says something political that they don't agree with.

>>15878839

a cyclical webm wouldn't really do anything. Also I detest the idea of perma cycles.

>>15878757

>>15878811

>stormfaggotry

Only fags ever complained about stormfaggots. If it just turns into a politics related thing then move the thread to /pol/ otherwise stop getting so butthurt about people using words you don't like or just go over to cuckchan where you belong

>>15878839

>cyclical webm threads

I actually feel like this should be given a shot too.

>>15878846

No one's disputing that. Being able to say niggerkikefaggotspic is this site's strongest foundation, and if the ability to say that were taken away I'm 99% sure there would be another migration a la GG. The problem is underagefags who come after visiting /pol/ for the first time and shit up the place telling everyone about how everything is degeneracy.

>>15878841

Sucks, though with those bigger studios it's hardly a surprise. Maybe THQNordic would be up for it though.

If that doesn't work then I guess western indies that aren't complete nobodies would be your next best bet. Guys like Vavra or some shit, might be up for it.

>>15878859

Listen, fatass. If people randomly come into the thread and spam "KILL ALL LEFTISTS IMMEDIATELY" out of nowhere like that one TORnigger does, then yeah, delete it. But if the conversation naturally drifts that way, that's the problem?

>>15878849

>You're so full of shit. This is a board about video games and video game discussion.

This board is about video games yes but it also literally is gamergate in terms of why it was made and who populates it. That is what divides us from cuckchan. The idea that a thread which represents the very essence of what /v/ is could somehow be a containment is just retarded.

>I don't think these political issues surrounding the industry have a place on this board.

If you think this then you don't have a place on this board. /v/ is here because of political issues in the games industry and nothing anybody says or tries to artificially push will change that.

>>15878865

>shit up the place telling everyone about how everything is degeneracy

If it's vidya related to the vidya industry then there's nothing wrong with it then

>>15878841

I forgot to mention Valve, Microsoft, Rare, Ninja Theory, Airship Syndicate mind you I emailed them before I found out that Joe is batshit insane

>>15878877

We can have a contest.

>>15878869

Well no, I'm talking specifically about what TORnigger does. Like there's a difference between some side discussion and remaining on topic and completely derailing the thread to the point where it's not even vidya anymore.

>>15878868

fun fact: We almost had Toby Fox come on, but he declined since someone called him a faggot using an 8chan.co email.

>>15878875

>GG threads are an entirely unregulated circlejerk on the level of an 8chan discord, but they get a pass just because they are riding on the name of people who actually got shit done a long time ago.

>unregulated

There are regular attempts to shit up the gamergate threads and it requires a lot of vol attention to keep them on track. Don't mistake a hands-off policy for no policy at all.

>>15878876

If it's vidya related but you're being an obnoxious retard you still deserve to be called an obnoxious retard and told to fuck off. If you still keep going after that you deserve to get banned.

>>15878890

Someone really wants to shut down those threads for some reason. Must be (((them)))

>>15878877

Chaika X Hitler muh otp tbh fam

>>15878890

They do enough to shit up the thread without help, to be honest. I do think keeping the spirit of GG alive is important for the board but in my opinion that thread does more to repel people looking to support the cause than it does to bring people into the fold.

>>15878899

absolutely nothing, since we're talking about this kinda stuff.

Destroy the board by arguing with yourself on a vpn? Great idea!

>>15878847

>>15878870

Don't dodge my question, saying "w-well you can't judge us by just one thread" is a weaselly move. Let's say I wait until next month's meta thread and I have archives of six Gamergate threads which are mostly off-topic, would you say "well you can't judge us by just six threads"? Or if I wait until the meta thread two months from now with the archives of a dozen threads, is that enough of a pattern to establish that the threads have mostly become a containment for off-topic posts?

Think of it another way, if these "news" threads were isolated to the Gamergate threads, you guys might actually have something to talk about.

>>15878875

GG threads are a lightning rod for shitposting and a containment for tertiary vidya discussion.

>>15878900

>Someone really wants to shut down those threads for some reason. Must be (((them)))

Almost certainly. Same arguments every time too. It's feeling a lot like 2015 again and not in a good way.

>>15878913

If you have archived proof of a serious, persistent problem feel free to post it.

>>15878861

>>15878870

This board is about video games. You want to discuss politics? Make a designated thread, because it's obscuring the actual topic. That's all I said. Why is this so threatening to you? Could it be that you care more about the political leanings of the board's population, and you want to do everything you can to persuade it in your given direction? Only good can come from curtailing the political discussion, because politics is tangential to the primary topic at best.

>All a cyclical will do is give /leftykikes/ and centrists more of an excuse to whine about 'muh /pol/ boogeyman' whenever someone says something political that they don't agree with.

No, you dumbshit, a cyclical will keep both sides of the political spectrum in check, it'll prevent you cocksuckers from galavanting around and spewing your shit opinions on whatever tangential political issue that happens to springs forth from a discussion about a game.

>>15878907

Either way, seeing how Undertale became what it did. It's for the best. We emailed him during the demo days, not during the final product's launch.

>>15878899

Keyword being "derailing", autist-kun.

>>15878917

>a cyclical will keep both sides of the political spectrum in check

That's what you think kiddo.

>>15878917

See here, you dumb congoid nigger-monkey: >>15878881

>>15878926

>>15878924

You're both retarded, eat shit.

>>15878921

>I feel that there's a need now to deal with retards who keep falling for obvious bait and help derailing the thread even more.

They're part of the problem and should be banned for ruining the thread.

>>15878894

"Being an obnoxious retard" is only relative to your perspective, you could find someone calling you a retarded nigger kike as obnoxious but your choice is to just ignore them, otherwise banning them will only make them come back again and again and be even more obnoxious. To this date furfags are the most ass cancerous faggots on the entire internet and they still won't fuck off

>>15878734

>How would you prove that anyway

Check the /cow/ thread and see if they are bragging about it and posting screencaps for one thing.

I've been reading the same shit about there being no videogame discussions on /v/ for years. The reason for this isn't because no one wants to talk about games, but because there's no games to talk about. It's simple: as the years go by old games run dry for shit to talk about and no new games come out that anons here care about or like. The last time I saw genuinely honest discussions that weren't shitposting, produced ample OC and had a quiet death were the deltarune threads, which aren't that popular. Those were like a month and a half ago and there have been other examples like EDF ones. Anons are correct when they say that /v/ is a reflection of the hobby and industry. All there is left nowadays is laughing at burning refuse and not much else.

>>15878916

I mentioned the existing thread, which I think is proof enough, sorry I haven't been preparing for this conversation for the last two months. You're missing the point of the hypothetical, though, which is what you would do if, two months from now, we had this same conversation and I did have the archives. Is there anything that could be done that would get you to admit the pattern of low-quality posting contained in the GG thread is a problem, or are they definitively immune?

>>15878931

If people falling for obvious bait should be banned, what's with this? >>15878108

>>15878929

>being this assmad

Go back to cuckchannel where you belong if it upsets you so much, nigger-kun.

>>15878929

Speaking of shit, is it true that Two Babies One Fox is the most tame story that Launny put out?

>>15878931

>>15878921

>I feel that there's a need now to deal with retards who keep falling for obvious bait and help derailing the thread even more

That right there is the biggest cause of derailment of threads. Part of the time it's actual retards falling for it and part of the time it's probably some VPN fag replying to himself

>>15878917

This board is both about video games and about the state of the indusry in terms of politicisation. /v/ exists because of gamergate which exists because of politicisation of the industry and to split that topic off from mere discussion of video games is to change what /v/ is at a fundamental level and it destroys one of the few active and anonymous bastions of free speech left on the internet.

>>15878943

Get back to me when you have proof of a problem and we'll see. A hypothetical is meaningless because you can hypothesise whatever you want about the thread without it being true.

>>15878943

a thread about netflix fucking shit up.

>>15878946

You have a point there, actually; I remember one thread where someone asked for some suggestions for western games, and said "bonus points if you can force niggers to pick cotton" in the OP. The first reply said "The n-word? sigh" and instead of just reporting and ignoring the obvious bait, there were a million replies calling him a nigger and ignoring the topic of the thread.

>>15878932

>banning them will only make them come back again and again and be even more obnoxious

So you just let them run around, shit on every thread they want and then they'll leave. Maybe we should take the same approach with furfags and ignore them too.

>>15878943

To be fair, I've got to say that was some pretty good bait. He even made a few fake tweets and everything.

>>15878951

Cool, see you in two months.

>>15878953

Did you read it?

>>15878946

Sometimes it's been really hard to tell, because even if it's a bunch of (1) replying to the bait we still have a shit ton of anons who post a reply before even attempting to read the thread, like with the Netflix one right now.

>>15878953

The thread was bait from the start, but it actually caught many faggots off-guard.

>>15878955

Well see now, that right there is about a 90% chance some VPN fag replied to himself

Folks need to take a note from /tg/ and Chrow.

>There is a political containment thread, and a "Fucking Magic the Gathering Did Something Again" thread

>If some /pol/ / /leftypol/ jackass decides to start shit for little to no reason, they either get banned or get their "i's pecked out" (literally, Chrow removes all instances of the letter 'i' from their posts) for being a jackass

>End result: Political bullshit is contained, people still get to discuss it, and people can still discuss OTHER topics without the board getting 'cucked'

>>15878957

>Cool, see you in two months.

I'll know if you or someone else intentionally uses a VPN to derail the threads then archives it out of context as 'proof'. Just saying this in advance.

>>15878943

>>15878951

Why don't you fags just look through the archives?

https://8ch.net/v/archive/index.html

>>15878959

>>15878957

Well shit. I'll bumplock it now.

>>15878964

Maybe for the first few replies, but it got up to 20 replies, and then replies to his replies. Eventually jannies did clean it up, but would've been easier if people just reported the nigger who was offended by the "n-word" and ignored him.

>>15878965

The amount of traffic /tg/ gets, compared to here, makes the two situations incomparable.

>>15878951

I disagree, that's (you)'re interpretation of why /v/ should exist. Yes, it's true; the majority of this board's population came from cuckchan, and after moot totally banned the GG discussion. Yes, it's true that we live in a politically volatile climate today, and that many of the topics that the industry faces are political in nature. There's nothing wrong with discussing these things, however this is not the central focus of the board. This board is dedicated primarily to the discussion of video games. The politics should not take center stage. How would a cyclical, a designated thread, constitute some act of censorship? You'd still be allowed to talk about your politics, but you wouldn't be able to shit up the board with it.

>hypotheticals are meaningless

You're quite disingenuous.

>>15878959

>Sometimes it's been really hard to tell

It is, that's true. Fags have gotten much better at hiding themselves over the years

>>15878975

>The amount of traffic /tg/ gets, compared to here, makes the two situations incomparable.

Yes, clearly it's impossible to make a containment thread or two and take honest to god action against people derailing a thread by falsflagging/stormfagging.

Completely impossible.

>>15878975

>ban the (1) who didn't break any rule

>instead of the 20 "nigger" spamming shitposters that replied to him

Thank God you're not a mod.

>>15878981

You're comparing a board with 200 PPH with another board that has 2 PPH.

>>15878966

You'll need better evidence than saying you "know" a derailer is a samefag, just saying this in advance.

>>15878967

Thanks

>>15878937

>Mark has his own front page thread on /cow/

At least some of the shitposting makes sense now.

>>15878981

>stormfagging

Go back to cuckchan if you don't like it, as they'll ban it there so your feefees wont get hurt.

>>15878983

Anyone who's offended by the word 'nigger' shuold be banned on principle, you dumb nigger.

>>15878977

Politics would hardly be an issue in vidya if one side of the isle didn't force their politics into everything, I'm talking about leftist

>>15878993

There's a huge difference between making nigger jokes and literally hunting down every single instance of a dark-skinned individual so you can derail all conversation related to it by spamming the word and surrounding ideas.

Why is the GG thread even still around? It's like 40% shitposts and 60% porn. I don't think I've seen a single on-topic post in it in the past two years.

>>15878993

>20 faggots getting triggered because someone says he doesn't like the word nigger

Who's really offended here? Looks to me like the (1) kept calm and laughed while 20 raging autists or ID hoppers spammed.

>>15878977

>however this is not the central focus of the board. This board is dedicated primarily to the discussion of video games.

No they are both of equal importance. This is exactly the same logic moot used to try and shut down gamergate when it first happened.

>How would a cyclical, a designated thread, constitute some act of censorship?

Because it attempts to artificially limit the topic in relation to how common it actually is in the industry and compared to how much anons want to discuss it. If the catalog is full of threads about censorship that's because the industry is censoring everything and anons want to discuss it. Don't want to see that? Get off your ass and fight back against it or pick any one of the hundreds of other sites on the internet that have 'non-political' video game discussion. Anons should not have to limit their discussions just to pander to newfags who don't understand what /v/ is.

>>15878982

If bait posts are that big of a problem (which they shouldn't) then just have the gay little (you) scrubbed out. No one except attention whores care about them.

>>15879002

Given the nature of the board, someone typing

>The n-word? Ugh…

Should be banned for baiting and attempted derail.

>>15879014

NIGGER

>>15879004

It's not that GG is still there, but it's kept alive by queers who need a target to point at when they fuck something up.

>Oh shit our non game about two faggots sucking dick sold terribly

>FUCKING ENTITLED GOOBERS AND DRUMPF

The way I see it the threads serve no purpose right now until an actual happening comes along. I know they like to pretend how important their emails are but at the end of the day there's nothing going on right now.

>>15879014

NETORARE

>>15879013

Sure.

But if you can't discuss, say, classic TF2 because FUCKING NIGGERS IN MY VIDEOGAMES NIGGER NIGGER ANYONE WHO PLAYS AS DEMOMAN SHOULD BE BANNED BECAUSE IT'S A NIGGER RESIST OR DIE TREES MUST BEAR STRANGE FRUIT FUCKING BURN ALL THE NIGGERS

…Then perhaps some action might be taken, no?

>>15879013

Or how about, you know, ignore him and don't reply?

What you're advocating is banning people for wrongthink/not being part of your epic underground club.

>>15879025

kill yourself kike

>>15879029

I don't doubt that there's still people who believe in GG that do the actual legwork, they're just too busy with that to shitpost in the threads. I despise the entirety of the shiposters who now seemingly represent the threads, but I do believe GG itself still has its value.

>>15879002

>literally hunting down every single instance of a dark-skinned individual

No one is doing that leftypol, also you can say nigger here

>>15879028

I did ignore him and not reply, perseonally, but nonetheless the problem would be solved if he would've just been deleted.

>>15879012

>If bait posts are that big of a problem (which they shouldn't)

Have you never been to a UAB thread? It isn't just simple bait. They will shit up the threads for hundreds of posts. Sometimes I think it's the same retard or small group of retards replying to themselves to shit up the thread and derail it.

>>15878999

It takes two to tango, as they say. Politics is always divisive, no matter what side you deign as holy and which is some defilement of your sacrosanct in your eyes.

>>15879008

>No they are both of equal importance. This is exactly the same logic moot used to try and shut down gamergate when it first happened.

Forget about moot, his actions in the past are completely irrelevant to this discussion. He's not the board owner here, so he has no power to force another exodus or whatever it is that you're so scared of. Alright?

>Because it attempts to artificially limit the topic in relation to how common it actually is in the industry and compared to how much anons want to discuss it

So you think that by screeching about the latest outrage inducing thinkpiece about gender or feminism that people on this board are going to be motivated enough to get off their ass and bring forth some amount of change? Why?

I've noticed a rise in particular brands of shitposting/baiting.

There's one TORposter that goes around complaining that 8ch doesn't produce OC anymore. This results in people posting things they've done, which he will say don't count for whatever reason.

The Boomer variety show from cuckchannel has also grown in popularity, and there are rapefugees setting up camps around the website with shit like /doomer/.

>>15879046

I'm disappointed, you disappointed me. I hope you drop your ice cream.

>>15879044

There's three main TORniggers who are recognizable:

First one is the blackpill spammer, although sometimes he uses VPNs rather than TOR.

Second one is the "KILL ALL LEFTISTS AND WOMEN IMMEDIATELY, TAKE A GUN AND DO IT NOW" guy, pretty obviously falseflagging or just mining for screenshots.

Then I've seen a third who whines about 8chan in general.

>>15879043

>Politics is always divisive

Really? Well then don't force it in every discussion. You always excuse /pol/ and nazis and all that shit of doing exactly what you do all the time

>>15879039

No, the problem would be solved if people stopped replying to bait.

Just because a (1) post gets 20 (You)'s doesn't mean that post should be deleted as long as it didn't break any rule. This is just a case of 20 faggots getting offended and mass-reporting a (1) for "wrong think", no different from downvote brigades on reddit.

>>15879057

the second one also heavily abuses the word Impotent.

>>15879037

>I don't doubt that there's still people who believe in GG that do the actual legwork,

I do. If they exist, they're such an invisible minority that their emails wouldn't have much impact.

>>15879042

Well you can just filter someone if he's being a retard on purpose. But since no one does that, then sure, report em.

>>15878977

>The politics should not take center stage.

They shouldn't. But unfortunately with the state of the industry politics IS center stage now days. You can't get away from that shit. If it's a new game then there's a 90% chance that there's going to be political shit of some kind wrapped up in it.

>>15879062

t. nigger

You fagwankers need to understand that it's inevitable to avoid discussing politics in a vidya board. Any attempt at avoiding it will amount to censorship. The reason is simple. Video games are much bigger than it used to be a decade ago. It's a billion dollar industry with huge investments, meaning it attracts much more attention and its chances of being used as propaganda tool are equally high. Some games are even created specifically for the purposes of ideological subversion, in a similar way that comic books were in the first half of the 20th century. Just look at most AAA garbage. Even the ones that failed were created solely as propaganda tools, because the industry has become ingrained enough in society that it has become just as influential as movies. Naturally, this also means the overall quality of video games decreases, which is further emphasized by the perception that the golden age of video games is over and all that is left to discuss are aspects surrounding video games, instead of actual games. There are still games occasionally made that stir our hearts, but due to several factors, the industry is stagnating. But that's also why we have to keep discussing it. If we don't, we will be no different than the normalfags who gobble whatever the industry feeds them. We need this.

>>15879044

There's 3 kinds of TORposter from what I've seen, probably all the same person.

1. The one you mentioned

2. One who quotes twenty people and REALLY likes the word impotent

3. Glow in the dark one who calls for everyone to kill leftists

>>15879071

The one who tells people to kill leftists and the one who overuses 'impotent' are the same guy.

>>15879043

>Forget about moot, his actions in the past are completely irrelevant to this discussion

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

>He's not the board owner here, so he has no power to force another exodus or whatever it is that you're so scared of. Alright?

Moot himself is not the point. The point is anyone can end up going down the path he took and little meaningless things like this are the first step. Slippery slope is in no way a fallacy.

>So you think that by screeching about the latest outrage inducing thinkpiece about gender or feminism that people on this board are going to be motivated enough to get off their ass and bring forth some amount of change? Why?

Without knowledge there cannot be action. Trying to bury your head in the sand and confine all discussion of censorship to an artificially tiny corner or the board makes the problem seem much smaller than it is. I agree that we should not be seeing multiple articles a day on video games being censored but that's because censorship should not be happening not because seeing the shit that's going on is inconvenient for you.

The standard kike tactic in situations like this is to keep doing the same thing over and over until it turns from an atrocity into background noise and then helpful idiots get bored of it and demand everyone stop talking about it. If they shout loud enough and constantly enough normalfags' attention span will run out. This cannot happen on /v/.

>>15879066

>Well you can just filter someone if he's being a retard on purpose.

Have started doing that. Sometimes though they're clever about it and hide their intentions for several posts until you already engaged.

>>15879073

Yeah, I got stuck trying to remember the word impotent and didn't see the other post.

>>15879066

People really should use the filter function.

For example I just filtered eb6cd7 because he just revealed himself as bait. Don't waste thread space and don't give it the satisfaction of a (You). Really simple, if only more people followed this basic principle the quality on this board would improve drastically.

>>15879084

IMPOTENT NIGGERS CANT KILL ME

>>15879070

>Effortposting in a meta thread

Wow, what a queer.

But yeah, we can't avoid talking politics, and I don't give a shit about talking politics, however there are also faggots looking to purposefully derail threads or just don't give a fuck about videogames and want to stir shit. Those guys are the problem.

>>15879088

>filtered as bait

The board quality would improve drastically if you left it forever, nigger.

>>15879088

What a waste of hitler dubs

>>15879065

I'd like to believe, is all.

But I will say one thing, I want them out of my fucking draw threads with their fucking waifu tier requests.

They're never fucking satisfied with how many freebies they've already gotten, especially that one Gilda faggot who keeps ID hopping just to get more requests in.

>>15879084

I just want that sweet sweet melanin.

>>15879101

We still have draw threads?

>>15879096

>however there are also faggots looking to purposefully derail threads or just don't give a fuck about videogames and want to stir shit. Those guys are the problem.

Yes I agree, but containment threads and cyclicals aren't going to solve the problem. We will. As users of this board we have to do our part and filter and report these niggers and improve the quality of discussion ourselves. Mark does not make the board himself. We do.

>>15879111

We do. And hotpockets actually take care of spammers now. Like that mexican queer who keeps requesting images of his shitty little waifu from an MMO.

The amount of draw fags may have plummeted, but there's still hope.

>>15879111

Are you kidding nigger? They're pretty great.

>>15879125

stop shilling your shitty board here

>>15879120

I just haven't seen one in what feels like a couple of months now.

>>15879119

>The amount of draw fags may have plummeted

Where are they?

>>15879115

Cuckchan invaders can be dealt with by bullying them into submission. The same can't be said for VPN IP hoppers, who do so out of sheer mental retardation, or because they're being paid to do it. It's not as simple a problem as you think.

>>15879101

There is one Gildafaggot and he is shunned by the GG thread for being obnoxious, and most waifu tier requests are done by namefags like Val and unaffiliated shitposters. How I know that? I lurk both threads.

>>15879134

>>15879134

>mark VPN hopping to cause drama

reminder that kikes accuse others of doing what they're guilty of

>>15879135

There's one right now, but it's been a while since I've seen any "great" drawthreads.

I feel like they've been shit since the crazy mexican started spamming his waifu, not that I'm implying a correlation.

>>15879061

>Well then don't force it in every discussion

Right, so then we agree. Politics shouldn't be the primary focus of discussion on this board.

>You always excuse

you mean 'accuse', and no I don't accuse anyone of anything. I'm just telling you what I see, and that's simply that more and more political threads are appearing on the catalog, and I don't think it should be this way. There's nothing wrong with political discussion itself, just that maybe it shouldn't spring up in every god damn thread, and it certainly doesn't need 10+ threads dedicated to it

>>15879067

>They shouldn't. But unfortunately with the state of the industry politics IS center stage now days. You can't get away from that shit

Yeah, I agree. That's not the point of contention, though. Merely, all I'm suggesting is that one single thread should be created where people can discuss this shit so it doesn't take up more space in the catalog, because it doesn't really belong. Half the threads about politics seem like they'd belong on /pol/, /leftypol/ or some other derivative.

>>15879076

>Those who forget history are bound to repeat it

>Moot isn't the point, anyone can end up going down the path he took and little meaningless things like this are the first step

I never said you should forget about what happened, I said that Moot's actions are not relevant to our discussion. He's not here, and if this board suddenly starts becoming more authoritarian, it won't be because of anything he has done. Now, if you think that my suggestion is so little and meaningless, then you can't possibly follow that statement up with the idea that it has the potential to destroy the board as you know it. Which is it? Is it little and meaningless or am I planting a seed of destruction? Why is it that nobody thus far has been able to give me a serious explanation on why my suggestion is so bad? Is it because you just want this board to be /polbutwithvidya/?

>Without knowledge there cannot be action. Trying to bury your head in the sand and confine all discussion of censorship to an artificially tiny corner or the board makes the problem seem much smaller than it is

I disagree; the actions of Valve, Nintendo, or whoever will not be diminished by how much or how little space they take up on the catalog. The only difference is that they will have a designated place of discussion, and multiple threads won't crop up on the catalog like blackheads on some slut's face.

>he standard kike tactic in situations like this is to keep doing the same thing over and over until it turns from an atrocity into background noise and then helpful idiots get bored of it and demand everyone stop talking about it. If they shout loud enough and constantly enough normalfags' attention span will run out. This cannot happen on /v/.

You've already got everyone's attention. You're preaching to the choir about these issues. You're not reaching any normalfags here, so this point doesn't seem like it holds much weight.

>>15879117

You're a nigger.

>>15879140

>Cuckchan invaders can be dealt with by bullying them into submission

Doesn't work. They outnumber us. It's as stupid as thinking that 2 billion shitskins can live in Europe as long as we teach them how to behave and they "integrate".

>>15879119

>The amount of draw fags may have plummeted, but there's still hope.

Is kekitopu, the guy who draws weird gondolas, and the guy that makes sexualized line segments still around?

>>15879146

The state of the industry is that marxists and kikes actively attempt to subvert and ruin it. Then, when people oppose this, you accuse both sides of 'shitting things up'.

Both sides are not equal just because they both believe in a thing.

You're being a disingenuous nigger.

>>15879145

> feel like they've been shit since the crazy mexican started spamming his waifu

Is it the School for Vampires guy?

>>15879137

Moved to other boards, other platforms, one died.

>>15879150

You're a retard, try again, faggot. This time, give me something substantive to respond to.

>>15879150

He's being a disingenuous KIKE, you fool. He wants to remove political content from the board so he can flood it with marxist bullshit while claiming his posts are non-political. You need to train your j-dar.

>>15879147

Then the solution is similar. Just as nigger invaders in Europe should either be shot or sent back to their shithole countries, we should report and ban all cuckchan cockgobblers and ensure they have no place here. Remember, just because their numbers are greater (or perceived to be so) doesn't mean they morally outdo us. We have the upper hand be because of strong traditions and history. Most people simply don't realize it, and thus take the presence of invaders for granted. If we maintain the hegemony of our board culture, it will act as a filter against all niggers who think they can come here and shit up the place, showing them there will be severe consequences if they decide to act as they do in their little shitholes.

>>15879149

I've seen both around.

>>15879153

No, the mexican is the mabinogifag, but this fucker is almost as obnoxious because he's been posting that shit on several boards that have draw threads.

>>15879154

>spoiler

What? When?

>>15879146

>He's not here, and if this board suddenly starts becoming more authoritarian, it won't be because of anything he has done.

It will not suddenly start because these things never do. It's always a gradual cultural shift often started artificially or intentionally by a group who wants to co-opt the existing community.

>Now, if you think that my suggestion is so little and meaningless, then you can't possibly follow that statement up with the idea that it has the potential to destroy the board as you know it. Which is it? Is it little and meaningless or am I planting a seed of destruction? Why is it that nobody thus far has been able to give me a serious explanation on why my suggestion is so bad? Is it because you just want this board to be /polbutwithvidya/?

Because one small bit of censorship in the name of 'we must discuss video games' becomes a greater and greater level of censorship. That's classic kike tactics to turn the heat up slowly so there's no single big event that pushes everyone to breaking point. Don't pretend that you didn't know this is what I meant by playing the semantics game.

>I disagree; the actions of Valve, Nintendo, or whoever will not be diminished by how much or how little space they take up on the catalog. The only difference is that they will have a designated place of discussion, and multiple threads won't crop up on the catalog like blackheads on some slut's face.

Confining it to a single thread artificially limits how visible the topic is in relation to how much of a threat it really is. It is also the first step on the road to banning discussion entirely when that single stale cyclic gets old and dies off and then there's nowhere left to discuss the topic at all.

>You've already got everyone's attention. You're preaching to the choir about these issues. You're not reaching any normalfags here, so this point doesn't seem like it holds much weight.

You right now are arguing that, just because you're bored of the topic of censorship, we should confine it to a single cyclical thread. You are a perfect example of why it's important.

>>15879198

What do you propose I do then? I've already tried shortening the length to just two hours.

>>15879198

That's the risk with TORposting. One dumb faggot ruins it for everyone. There's no way to just ban one person using TOR or just punish one dumb faggot.

>>15879201

Is Tor actually banned?

>>15879167

>>15879176

The guy with the autistic military waifus. I last spoke to the guy 2-3 or so years ago and at that time he allegedely had only a couple of years to live. Since he stopped posting quite a while ago and the clock hasnt stopped ticking I assume he propably kicked the bucket. RIP in pepperoni you autistic fuck. That is unless he just stopped posting or moved on to somewhere else.

>>15879198

Can't you just get a VPN?

>>15879217

But then the fucking autist will just keep spamming to his heart's content. Shortening it to like half an hour should be enough but not banning at all will be a fucking nightmare.

>>15879211

Not right now.

>>15879217

Well yeah, but the autist continues like mad. The only way to stop him is giving him an hour break

>>15879160

No, I just want that shit to be placed in a single thread so the catalog won't be flooded by bullshit about what some shitfuck on twitter said, or about some other nonsense.

>>15879169

>trying to limit political discussion

Not 'limit', I'm suggesting that

IT SHOULDNT TAKE CENTER STAGE ON THE FUCKING CATALOG YOUR DUMBSHIT MOTHERFUCKER

Do you understand English, you stupid fuck? Explain to me how a designated thread is going to "limit discussion"? It won't. It's going to do two things; 1) it's going to free up the catalog of all these threads that are only created to respond to outrage bait and 2) because of this, more threads about VIDEO GAMES should take their place, unless faggots find something else to fill the void, that is.

>>15879179

>It will not suddenly start because these things never do. It's always a gradual cultural shift often started artificially or intentionally by a group who wants to co-opt the existing community

So, you're operating under the assumption that I want to shift the perspective of people who post here? Why?

>Because one small bit of censorship in the name of 'we must discuss video games' becomes a greater and greater level of censorship

I disagree that my suggestion constitutes censorship. In a designated thread, you'd be free to express any opinions on any given industry topics, only you wouldn't be free to make another thread on the matter. It's not censorship.

>Confining it to a single thread artificially limits how visible the topic is in relation to how much of a threat it really is

So, you're tacitly admitting that you believe that political discussion of tangential issues is more important on a video game board that is dedicated to discussing video games? I don't agree. There are others who do not agree. You're just trying to "claim" this board for a certain demographic because you feel like you have nowhere else to express your malcontent about niggers or women or whatever the fuck. You're the problem with this board. Maybe not you specifically, but people like you. No, it's not because of your views, you're entitled to them. It's because you'd rather see this board become contaminated with discussion about something other than what it is meant to discuss.

Alright, look. I've said my piece, and I'm obviously not going to change anyone's mind. I'm done with this shit because I don't want to sit here and spend the next 30 minutes responding to multiple people who are trying to shout me into the fucking ground. I'm out.

>>15879217

Deleting things doesn't stop the spamming or solve the problem that one faggot is using other TORposters as a shield while he shits all over the board and feels like he's some kind of clever super hacker because he thinks he can't be punished.

>>15879214

Did he also post on /clang/? If you're talking about MP he seems to be alive. I don't know if he's well though.

https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=10123539

>>15879057

>>15879071

Yes but the "impotent leftist" poster isn't new. He's just some dain bramaged brazilian who discovered VPNs. He didn't always use TOR, but he does now. He probably regrets not being able to post the same nazi anime waifu images over and over.

The OC complainer might be the general whiner finding a newer thing to whine about that gets more respones.

>>15879227

Allow me to elucidate your niggerbrained retardation:

Already in this thread right here, there are some anons calling for the GG thread to be removed.

Originally GG discussion was all over, now it's one thread, and after that there are anons saying to remove it entirely.

Now, you're saying censorship discussion should be relegated to one thread, and the step after that is when you'll complain that the thread serves no purpose anymore and should be removed entirely.

>>15879198

I never understood what it is with TORpedos and unrelenting shitposting. Is it because they feel a sense of superiority because of It? Is it because they keep getting banned and need a way to continuously post no matter how shitty their methods are? I find them as incomprehensible as trannies.

>>15879224

I don't think there's any other solution that you have. Codemonkey could probably do something about it though. Maybe force TOR to fill out the captcha for every post?

>>15879231

Well fuck me, the motherfucker is still kicking.

>>15879227

Dude, don't get so worked up over a post.

200% based and 300% redpilled

We love you Mark, you keep doing the right thing.

>>15879237

It's because for them it's a free, unbannable VPN.

>>15879248

Fuck off.

>>15879227

Trying to maintain the sanctity and purity of the catalog is a fool's errand. On slower boards, that's a valid concern, but /v/ is more than fast enough for there to be many active threads. The catalog is searchable. Hiding threads is an option. Limiting discussion and cramming everything into one general thread is a means to hinder a topic and reduce its visibility. This may be fine when we're talking about individual games not needing 10 threads, but when we're talking about multiple different instances and recent events, multiple threads are necessary. Not to the level of needing a new thread for every dumb tweet made by some soy-guzzling faggot, though. Just enough that people are aware of the actions of certain groups and companies, because some people don't care that Nintendo removed cleavage again, but they do care when a publisher or game series they like is getting removed from stores and being banned from sale because of some bizarre globalist/chink scheme.

Can we at least finally remove GG shit if we're done with politics? It's not vidya.

>>15879259

You know just how much screeching that would cause if it happened.

>>15879259

And force people who want to talk about it migrate to 16chan?

>>15879259

No hobby is done with politics. Fuck off.

>>15879259

no

>>15879259

Politics is here to stay. Do something about it, nigger.

>>15879250

>he'll just break the site more.

Yes. That's a very distinct possibility. Perhaps that was a bad idea.

>>15879262

Perhaps they can talk about it in an anchored politic-meta thread, but there's no reason to constantly allow a thread on it (let alone sticky it)

>>15879236

Alright, this is my final post. I just want to argue against this nonsense. I guess you think that this is some sly tactic to totally eradicate political discussion entirely. You're not wrong, but I'm not being sly about it. I'm outright telling you that I don't think it belongs here. However, give me some fucking credit. I've said that it deserves to be discussed, especially when it's related to video games or the industry at large, but that perhaps it shouldn't be allowed to rum rampant on the catalog. If I wanted to outright suggest that it should be totally removed, then I'd just say that. Not everyone is as disingenuous as you assume then to be.

>>15879243

Well, you're right. I shouldn't get worked up, but neither should the people who claim that I'm advocating for censorship or some other dumb bullshit. It's a discussion, people get heated, and I especially do when I feel like people are missing the point.

>>15879254

>Trying to maintain the sanctity and purity of the catalog is a fool's errand. On slower boards, that's a valid concern, but /v/ is more than fast enough for there to be many active threads

Maybe you're right.

> This may be fine when we're talking about individual games not needing 10 threads, but when we're talking about multiple different instances and recent events, multiple threads are necessary. Not to the level of needing a new thread for every dumb tweet made by some soy-guzzling faggot, though.

I still don't see how this couldn't be relegated to one thread. It worked in the past when the GG threads were actually substantive, and as long as a designated thread is properly moderated so that actual shitposts and nonproductive content is removed, then it'd be perfectly fine.

>>15879275

The reason the thread exists (the state of the industry being full of marxists and kikes) is still relevant. It's not going anywhere, no matter how much niggers like you screech.

>>15879273

>This guy knows what's up

>this guy

Liking your first week on 8chan™ so far?

Two important things anons need to be aware of: (((someone))) has been disrupting threads with IP hopping. If you see a lot of (1)s in a thread trying to derail discussion or being inflammatory in general, they're probably all the same person doing it on purpose, so please report.

Second, /cow/ cucks have been pushing "aaron lawson is a meme/scapegoat/not real" lately, by going in random threads calling out random posts "fuck off aaron" and also posting about how Mark is deleting threads/posts because he doesn't like them and using a "boogeyman" as a reason. Do not fall for this shit.

>>>/cow/675290

>>15879227

>So, you're operating under the assumption that I want to shift the perspective of people who post here? Why?

No. That's simply one possibility. Maybe you're an idiot who easily gets bored and accepts any new attack on his freedom. Maybe you are doing this intentionally. Either way the result of your proposal is the same.

>I disagree that my suggestion constitutes censorship. In a designated thread, you'd be free to express any opinions on any given industry topics, only you wouldn't be free to make another thread on the matter. It's not censorship.

It is censorship though. It's confining discussion to a portion of the board that is significantly smaller than the userbase's interest in that topic would normally take up. This is social engineering in essence: trying to limit how much and how often anons can talk about censorship with a view to forcing other topics to crowd it out.

>So, you're tacitly admitting that you believe that political discussion of tangential issues is more important on a video game board that is dedicated to discussing video games?

You have yet to establish that this is anything but your opinion of what /v/ should be.

> I don't agree. There are others who do not agree. You're just trying to "claim" this board for a certain demographic because you feel like you have nowhere else to express your malcontent about niggers or women or whatever the fuck.

Yes I am literally stating that that /v/, the board that literally exists because of gamergate, is both about video games and the effect of politics about video games and it belongs to the 'gamergate demographic'. That is our history and the very reason we are all here. I am telling refugees like you to fuck off back where you came from. Gamergate was here from the start if you don't like it leave.

> There are others who do not agree. You're just trying to "claim" this board for a certain demographic because you feel like you have nowhere else to express your malcontent about niggers or women or whatever the fuck.

And you are trying to 'claim' this board for a non-existent '/v/ should be about video games and not censorship' demographic. This works both ways except you're the one trying to change the existing consensus.

>It's because you'd rather see this board become contaminated with discussion about something other than what it is meant to discuss.

Again the idea that /v/ is only for video games and not for the politicisation of the industry is something you have made up. You cannot make up a definition of /v/ that clearly does not match the culture of this board and then complain when threads outside your artificial definition exist.

>>15879259

I know you're too busy drinking gallons of cum from fake nigger cocks, but like I and others said, politics have become an inherent part of video games because of their influence. So if you want to shut down relevant discussion, I recommend killing yourself immediately.

>>15879275

When's the last time it's been stickied? To be fair, even using the catalog I have to make an effort to stumble upon the GG thread. I don't see why you'd get worked up about it.

>>15879279

I'd be happy if it actually had any jew naming but there's not a single gg nigger who will admit they're even an issue because the board and thread is heavily curated by an ethnic jew.

>>15879278

>I guess you think that this is some sly tactic to totally eradicate political discussion entirely. You're not wrong, but I'm not being sly about it. I'm outright telling you that I don't think it belongs here.

You do not belong here. That much is clear.

>>15879289

While you might have a point regarding GG discussion on other sites, the threads here always have a majority of people explicitly naming the jew.

But yes, we all know the cake kike is indeed a kike.

>>15879282

Sad part is it'll probably work

Actually while this thread is still up here's something else that needs brought up:

Hardware threads.

Why is it okay to allow CRT threads, but you bumplocked the headphone thread? Both are only indirectly related to gaming, but still very relevant.

>>15879282

Just report the fags then?

This is a strawman. Anons do not want politics in their video games but when the left forces them in burying our heads in the sand and ignoring the problem is not the right response. Self defence is not aggression.

Holy shit, thanks, vol. Now that we know this, we can maintain constant vigilance in the face of their niggardry. We'll keep a lookout, you just keep doing a good job and we'll keep things clean.

And in the fucking meta thread, too? You think we'd let you get away with your impotent little shilling, you nigger?

>>15879278

>I still don't see how this couldn't be relegated to one thread. It worked in the past when the GG threads were actually substantive, and as long as a designated thread is properly moderated so that actual shitposts and nonproductive content is removed, then it'd be perfectly fine.

GG also used to have a whole board to itself before internal drama and D&C bullshit fragmented and destroyed them, leaving only the /v/ threads where moderation was more trusted, to keep things running smoothly. It was also a hugely tumultuous time and when GG was at its peak and stuck to one thread, they could still go through several full-to-bumplock threads in a day. Now, that's not really the case.

The problem with the censorship happenings is that it's not a singular fight. It's not something that is happening on /v/'s terms. Lots of different companies are doing lots of different shady things for different reasons. China is involved. SESTA and FOSTA are involved. SJWs are involved. It's not a singular issue and it's not something that all fits within a single thread.

Unless you can genuinely prove this all you have is a tool for banning wrongthink or arguments that hurt your feelings. Congratulations on getting one step closer to an Orwellian dystopia.

>>15879325

I bet we can, and once we do, you can be they'll be cleansed from the board and we can have some quality vidya threads in their place.

Here is your evidence, see the last post and then read the thread: https://archive.fo/pTXG3

A bunch of (1)s and TORniggers come out of nowhere all expressing the same exact opinion at the same time, but no, I'm sure it's just regular criticism and not intentional derailing.

>>15879375

Evangelion is not shit isn't shit, but yes mods being faggots and setting the precedent for endless wrongthink banning should be met with hostility.

>>15879366

What I have never been able to figure out is why people who seem to hate anonymity so much don't simply leave for a traditional namefag forum.

>>15879360

Oh, right, the internet gulag. Clutching my centrist fedora.

>>15879354

The reason we have IDs is because one dedicated shitposter can crash threads all by himself.

>he replied to himself without switching IDs now

Even if you're doing it for free for someone you're still shit at this.

>>15879388

You'd think these newfags would know that by now.

Can we wordfilter "impotent" to "based"?

>>15879386

That's because we're the most trolly. Kids love the thrill that comes with doing forbidden things.

>>15879390

Consider anon that perhaps in fact you are the newfag. Those of us who have spent time around other image boards over the years like 7chan knew right away when 8ch grew big that IDs would be a bad idea because we already experienced all their caustic effects.

>>15879388

Samefaggotry is a fact of life on anonymous forums. Trying to regulate it leads to far worse outcomes like facilitating banning for having the wrong opinions. If you can't deal with samefaggotry them you shouldn't be on an anonymous forum in the first place.

>>15879364

>>15879395

>spammers aren't real

Vigilance is the only solution to that. Trying to come up with rules like this harms discussion more than it helps.

"Derailing" is a bullshit complaint, the topicality of threads shifts all the time and there's nothing wrong with it.

>>15879401

>Samefaggotry is a fact of life on anonymous forums.

>>15879418

>"Derailing" is a bullshit complaint

How are you still allowed to post when you spread bullshit lies like this?

I still find it gobsmackingly ironic that the board whose very history was shaped by people trying to escape censorship has managed to become one of the most censorious boards on 8ch.

>>15879425

>Samefaggotry is a fact of life on anonymous forums.

>>15879443

Clearly he's one of them. It's so fucking obvious.

>>15879401

It's not samefagging that's necessarily the problem. It's aggressive shitposters that are easier to deal with when we have IDs. I don't like these myself, but they make spotting spammers and detailers are cakewalk.

>>15879437

Yeah, too bad that's not what actually happens. Old stale /b/ shit gets the green light around here whenever (our newfag) administration thinks it's funny. Instead, "derailing" gets banned when someone makes an inconvenient argument or rebuttal to off-topic /pol/ diarrhea. I've seen this happen too many times to count now.

>>15879403

>you have no post history

If banning marxist bullshit upsets you, go back to cuckchan where your ideas are more welcome. Or reddit. Anywhere but here, really.

>>15878705

I do hope you will be able to tell apart ID-hoppers and people who use proxy because 8chan is blocked by their ISP or people who just don't want to browse this site unprotected.

>>15879461

I remembered it too. It tells a lot about who browses the board nowadays.

>>15879459

Oh good, so you admit that you care more about censoring wrongthink than anything.

>>15879464

you leave fat orangutan alone

>>15879454

No one cares about either of those. You only get banned when you start derailing the thread with your dumb shit.

>>15879455

He's doing the right thing, stop bitching at him. In fact, he should post that guy's whole post history so we can see how barren it is.

>>15879481

>>15879471

Marxist kikes like you are the ones who are censoring and ruining vidya as a whole, and then you have the nerve to come to a video games board and accuse those who try to defend their hobby against your bullshit of censoring you.

Kill yourself.

>>15879455

>I thought we were past volunteers bringing up post histories.

Why do you think he was looking into the history of someone who criticized him in the first place? Considering how abusive and untrustworthy these kikes are, the only smart thing to do is to make sure you don't keep a post history.

>>15879488

Oh look, it's another one of them, back with a new IP.

>>15879488

>Why do you think he was looking into the history of someone who criticized him in the first place?

These fucks really have a lot of power, don't they?

>>15879486

And now you're so completely out of arguments that all you can attempt to do is put words in my mouth. See folks? This is what happens to your quality of thought when you view the entire world of anonymous discussion through the lens of nefarious samefags around every argument you dislike. It makes you think and debate like a coward.

>>15879487

Iirc, there was a fallout. I think >>>/vg/ is still doing them.

>>15879499

They usually are, though. Especially TORniggers.

>>15879499

>you people

>>15878811

Honestly, this pretty much sums up my recent qualms with the board. Every thread with any activity seems to always end up turning into whinging about jews/blacks/nazis/political shit instead of what the original topic was about and I'll fess up to a bad habit of taking bait but the point is that video game discussion seems to keep turning political regardless of the circumstances, and any thread that would be controversial on /pol/ gets derailed into people having to justify liking yuri or whatever to the people who hate degeneracy.

I dunno, I'm just getting tired of it all.

You bitched and moaned about "muh /pol/ boogeyman", but instead of going to sites like cuckchan or reddit that would cater to beliefs such as yours and ban all that problematic sexist and racist stuff you hate so much, you choose to remain here and demand that this board caters to you.

You and the ones ruining vidya share the same ideology.

You're the only cancerous one here, nigger. Gas yourself.

>>15879500

We have PROOF of samefags trying to shit up the board you retard, why do you keep ignoring the archive??

>>15879521

Do you have PROOFS of every instance of two people agreeing on something in a similar tone always being samefags? No you don't, and you never will unless you turn this board into a shitty namefag forum like neoGAF.

>>15879224

>The only way to stop him is giving him an hour break

Does the site not give different IPs for different exit nodes? That seems kind of retarded if it is the case.

>>15879529

Fuck off, retard. If you don't post bullshit, then you have nothing to hide by having your post history publicized.

>>15879533

Actually I take that back, even on neoGAF where they were supposedly super strict about tying "credible" e-mails to accounts, I seem to remember there being credible evidence of industry PR firms using multiple accounts to shill their propaganda.

Yeah, just what everyone needs, a bunch of hyperactive stalkers investigating and commenting on the history of anyone who shits on them. That's enough reason for me to never use the /agdg/ thread again because I don't want my posts in other threads used as leverage against me or my game by some stupid kike.

>>15879529

We've seen how this always plays out a million times. Predicting it now, this thread will be anchored and then deleted once the mod shilling stops working.

>>15879529

Are you retarded?

The issue with using post history is that POSTING actual post history for everyone to see is a breach of trust. Using post history is literally the only way to determine whenever one is shitposting or not.

>>15879551

Stop taking the bait already.

>>15879564

I take issue to that remark, sir.

>>15879520

I've been using image boards longer than you and I will outlast you. Why? Because I actually give a shit about the true merits of anonymous discussion and enjoying having intellectually honest debates. You won't last because you can't deal with viewpoints you dislike. Eventually you will return to some traditional namefag forum where you can suck mod cock all day when the limitations of controlling discussion on image boards become apparent to you.

Once again I'll note I've said nothing at all about my own political beliefs.

>>15879543

>literally "nothing to hide, nothing to fear"

Isn't a major benefit of anonymity the fact that your ideas and arguments have to be examined separately from your identity? Post history can describe a history of infractions which is useful for identifying IP hoppers and repeat offenders for board management, but publicizing it in an argument generally amounts to an attack on the person making the argument instead of the argument itself, ie the textbook definition of ad hominem.

>>15879620

They won't and they can't. Their thought process is so dominated by self-reinforcing spooks around every corner that they can't even remember how to construct coherent arguments anymore. Everything wrong is posted by a villain out to get them, therefore it doesn't require rebuttal, therefore there's no point in responding to the argument. Think like this often enough and your ability to think critically will turn to mush. Instead of one process feeding back to the other, they work in a vicious symbiotic loop. As the ability to form coherent arguments itself degrades, dismissing arguments off-hand based on intention becomes more attractive.

Like posting non-vidya wresting shit, traps, aras, lolis, and blogposting. :^)

Now that we have invidio.us, can we finally remove Youtube embeds? They use referral links to know that the traffic is coming from here and there is all sorts of fucked up shit that Google will do with that information. It also ruins threads because someone will make an embed and people will talk about it, but those of us who know the risks will not understand the context without seeing the video. Invidious is better since it allows downloads which can be handy since most of the stuff we watch is censored and taken down regularly.
