/v/ is dying because of varying degrees of moderation, such as people feeling they're unjustly banned, the destruction of culture threads, which has destroyed much of the community of /v/, which was one of its strong points, being such a small board/site in comparison to cuckchan. /v/ was at its peak when culture threads were everywhere, and moderation was hands-off. There's other things like an influx of cuckchan users which ultimately haven't really integrated in this board culture, as well as rats all over sjws likely who have a tendency to try and derail and destroy any thread remotely attached to censorship, sjws or leftist progressive shit.

It's pointless posting in a thread like this which is bumplocked and lower than about page 3 because 90% of anons never look this low in the catalog and nobody is going to bother with any constructive posts or effort in a thread they know is doomed: it's de facto locking a thread just with a short time delay. If mark wasn't afraid of what would get posted he'd just have a 24/7 meta thread similar to the GG thread and everyone who didn't care could easily hide it which is exactly what non-shit boards like /tg/ and /animu/ do.
'Just post in the dead and irrelevant bumplocked thread' is the standard jew tactic of pretending they aren't censoring you by technically giving you a completely fucked over little corner to blow off steam so you won't get quite mad enough to organise proper opposition like you would with no outlet and will instead fade away into a background noise of complaining.

There's a lot of truth in this post. Hotwheels himself said the best moderation as lesser moderation. Banning only spam and things illegal in the US. As shit as the mods are I still can blame the community itself more than the moderation. We have a cycle Steam Sale thread ffs. They wouldn't exist without our current community. To many newfags while the oldfags are dwindling because the board has been co-opted to shit. What we need most is a common enemy. Because unity on /v/ isn't going to happen otherwise. When GG was in full swing we had the enemy. Now that it's lessened and we're lacking in a leader or any goal we just have rambling and chaos. /v/ originally was about vidya without politics. And we were able to post comfortably ignoring it. Now we can't ignore politics with the PC crowd infecting it. Some try but they're overheard by extreme views and we will never become as resolute as we were as a result.
Honestly I just want a /v/ where we escape the current world issues and discuss what we genuinely find entertaining on a critical basis. But that's retarded to expect with group mentality. I just want to post here for enjoyment. Not discuss the next Reich. Damn shame.

Which is why they are the minority, and they aren't leaving any time soon. You forget this place breeds autism due to it's freedom of speech nature. Enough so that people with very different views aren't capable of leaving. You can scream and kick all you want, you're never going to diffuse the community enough to get rid of them. They're just as stubborn as you when you type "I won't rest until it's completely kicked off /v/". Because they have no reason to rest as there's no actual real world punishment for their opinions. The sooner you understand that the sooner you can start making productive actions for the board. Otherwise we're just going to be constantly bitching about petty shit that will never yield results until our slow traffic demise.

Yet we still bitch about them because we actually give a shit.l Again, you're asking /v/ to stop being mad at insignificant things. Don't be naive.
>I'm inclined to believe him that anons rather bitch than report and move on
The problem is moderation doesn't understand the current year context of what to take seriously in a report. They fucking tanked the Anton and Coolpecker because some anon said it wasn't being "productive". And as long as rule 8 exists they have absolute freedom to nuke what they want based on their preference. And when you criticize older facets of the board such as the 4am threads they just state it had been "decided" a long time ago in a very different climate.
Mods aren't interested in allowing this community to evolve. Only prolong what it once was, which was a revolt with a splash of vidya discussion. Having seen the change of this board first hand I can only assume this place is no longer about the revolt anymore. At least not to the extent that it once was. And now all we have is the vidya discussion. But we can't trust shit because we're stuck suspecting everything like GG was still relevant.
I'm not arguing we don't have issues with outlanders, but we can't actually compete against them if we just bitch all the time about mundane shit. It's not like we have the smaller yet more focused community with the shrink in out numbers since GG either. We're still as paranoid as we ever were. Moderation and the retardation of the majority of /v/ that can't think for themselves is the direct culprit.

You mean the fags who went to 4um to ask for help and then came back here when nobody helped? They've been working on 1 level for what feels like a decade now.
They shouldn't be baleeted but I see no reason to give them special treatment when there's the AGDG threads.
>And as long as rule 8 exists they have absolute freedom to nuke what they want based on their preference.
It was always so god damn simple. Had Mark grown a spine back in 2015 and removed 4am avatarfags for good we wouldn't have had this rule 8 to begin with. Almost as if somebody had their rubbing hands force this to happen.
>GG
Ask me, I think it was dead even before we hit 2016.
The corpse that's being brought up by (((journalists))) only serves the current retards posting in the threads as excuse to keep it alive so they can suck each other off while sending their dick pics to a guy larping as a jap housewife.
I think this entire thing has been handled very poorly because it took Mark himself too long to even admit GG is over. And yet he keeps it around like a senile pet because it riles up some people who are so irrelevant that they could die tomorrow and we'd never even know.

In my opinion this is easily and without question the biggest problem with the board right now. If every poster went one day where instead of replying to retarded shit that is obviously bait I am 100% convinced the board's quality would jump by orders of magnitude.

Same, but there was no reason to anchor the thread. As it was vidya related and even if it has shit tier aspects it's still one of /v/'s oldest threads. And they didn't want to derail the AGDG.
>Had Mark grown a spine back in 2015 and removed 4am avatarfags for good we wouldn't have had this rule 8 to begin with
His excuse is that because we had a meta thread deciding to keep it shortly after the large exodus we should never remove it ever. Again, they refuse to change with the times.

Anyways, /v/ has always been in decline since 2014/2015. It's userbase was always stagnant and never really got more users outside of temporary e3 push (and then after that it will always tank). We complain about redditors and cuckchan infiltrators but the truth seems that we rarely get new people. Once a board goes under 2000 it's usually the point of no return (seen it with other boards, almost never seen it recover)
/pol/ was in a similar boat, it only got a boost due to the election.
