Last thread on page 13, so I will now reiterate everything that was not addressed in the last thread. Archive of the last thread for autistic purposes. http://archive.is/vJ27s

Why was the last technical issues thread deleted? If it was deleted because there were shitters using it as a regular meta, why not just delete and ban the shitters? If it was deleted because the primary issue of files being eaten was resolved, then wouldn't it have been better to lock the thread and leave an announcement in the OP about what the issue was and that it was resolved? I would strongly question the latter case as well, since there were clearly many more technical issues being discussed if one even merely skimmed the thread.

Secrecy and lack of communication. What exactly in this post Ron made about Odin needed to be kept a secret? https://archive.fo/7rxeZ#selection-30573.0-30575.2 Why couldn't this have been revealed months ago? As far as anyone knew up until this post, Odin seemed likely to have nothing to do with 8kun, and anons were rightfully angry with Ron prioritizing Odin over board migration and technical site issues. Then there's the general silence on migration and various other things. The lack of general or frequent communication from Ron has recently been attributed by him to horrible cramping in his hands that he believes is arthritis. This would be entirely understandable, if he had told everyone this months ago. As it is, revealing this so late will assuredly lead anons to suspect he's lying and made it up as an excuse post-facto. And those against 8kun will assuredly use it as another wedge to drive between site administration and users.

Board restriction. To the administration, I'm sure board restriction sounds fine on paper as a punishment for BOs who do naughty things. But it's not. You're not only punishing the BO, but the users of the board. Board restriction is objectively more destructive for a board than losing its board owner, and thus cannot be considered "a warning" to a board owner. /rand21/ is a perfect example of this. The board was restricted by ChrisHansen under questionable circumstance over a month ago. I don't think there's been a post on it in a month, when it was previously a very active board. As of yet, there's been no communication from either Ron or ChrisHansen as to whether the board will ever be unrestricted. This "warning" action, that is supposed to precede harsher action only upon further misbehavior such as board deletion, blocking, or banning, is effectively the same as deleting, blocking, or banning the board. It's dead and not likely ever coming back even if it's eventually unrestricted.

Global rules and rule transparency. When the site returned there were several changes to the site FAQ. Among these was a change to the text just below the global rule, stating "In short, the 8kun administration does not tolerate images of real children and Global Volunteers will treat such content as either child pornography or a Dost violation.". On the surface this change would ban all real child images, even those that are completely innocuous, rather than the previous rule of banning only DOST violations and near DOST violations. After pressure from Mark and anons, Ron revealed the rule wasn't in line with the global guidelines on illegal content, which remained unchanged and still aligned with previous version of the rule. This satisfied many anons, but also creates a lack of transparency regarding the rules, and makes the site FAQ totally untrustworthy. The reason for this change was to deter near DOST violating pedoposters, something that was already banned under the previous rule. This, of course, does not work in the slightest. Genuine pedoposters do not care about the rules. Those that are not genuine, spam and bad actors, similarly don't care about the rules. In both logic and practice this change has failed to accomplish it's stated goal, with CP spam remaining on the catalog of /v/ for 7-8 hours the other week. Despite anons, including myself, pointing out the logic was faulty at the time, Ron has stated that he has no plans to revise or reverse the rule change on the FAQ.

You seem to not know that Mark not only has greasy sausage sized fingers, but he also moderates this board through his phone most of the time when he is out and about at the latest nintendo events.

yeah, I guess. But most other boards managed to cycle through BOs or have the users jump ship to a better board when the BO was being a faggot. Somehow Mark had miraculously survived all of his own faggotry.

Speaking of "lack of communication", the way Mark does meta threads is still completely unacceptable. It's part of your responsibility as BO to listen to the users of your board. If you don't give a fuck about that then give the board to someone who does.

A pic of what Odin actually is according to Ron, for anyone curious.

>>16858399

It's unfortunately because most alternatives that pop up for /v/ specifically tend to be worse (either by becoming too obsessed with shitting on Mark over actual vidya discussion or their own autistic tendancies) coupled with the fact that Mark just hasn't screwed up to the nuclear extent that other deposed BOs like dys or Kampfy have. Anons are generally complacent because of that. fucking let me post

Why is half the board bump locked?

Some threads are kinda off-topic yes but others are not.

Why don't you let users decide what they want to see and what not? Thread hiding is a thing.

For example that xbox360 thread, I'm not a xbox fan either but that seems a little weird to lock it.

Most /v/ alternatives are actually directly sabotaged by Mark or one of his goons. Any time an alt board got advertised on here, they would intentionally derail the thread and discourage people from even going there. And then they would start flooding the board with shitposts and low quality threads so people would say, "see? This board is brand new and it's already a bunch of low quality bullshit"

When other boards had to deal with this shit, they either bullied the BO's away or an alternative sprouted up. /v/ is the only board that puts up with this bullshit for some reason.

>>16859022

Mark will anchor, lock or delete threads depending on how much he doesn't like them. Which is why no one wants to make any new threads and why we still have shit from January in the catalogue.

>Why is half the board bump locked?

There are 12 bumplocked threads in the entire catalog with about a quarter of those being threads that are no longer relevant such as the harmony thread or the esa speedrunning thread. Then another quarter being shitty threads that deserve to be bumplocked such as the LOL thread or the Life is Strange 2 thread. I agree on the 360 one being unfairly bumplocked though, that's a retarded as fuck decision to bumplock it just because Mark didn't like the 360. I guess he's still bitter over spending $2,000 on rockband dlc.

They don't seem to want to tell anyone their plans for migration, or whether they even have plans for migration. At this rate, there will be boards that will have been gone a year without being reclaimed by their BO while also not being allowed to be remade, since migration is never ending. What the fuck is with this timeline of events?

>There will be two phases to migration, one for BO claims and one for anon claims

>Phase 1 is being extended a week

>Phase 1 is being extended a month and phase 2 is cancelled because of this

>We're not going to acknowledge it's been a month since the last deadline without any communication, migration is still going, and it's going on indefinitely but we're not going to explicitly state that

>/d/egenerate BO claims to have successfully claimed /pol/

Then there's the fact that migration and board creation is obviously being neglected in favor of other things. Tons of boards were being migrated at first but that slowed down to a tiny trickle of migrated and newly created boards with BOs and anons going weeks/months without any response to attempts at claims and board creation. All this feels like they're trying to obfuscate the fact that they're not migrating certain "problem" boards. Or that there's technical issues behind the scenes they don't want to admit like certain boards being unmigratable for whatever reason, or them somehow losing a bunch of the shared secrets needed for BO reclamation.

mark can barely moderate /v/, i sincerely doubt he has the tactical elan to orchestrate "sabotage" on other sites. now the altchans, on the other hand, are nearly (but not completely) all either phishing sites, botnets, bitcoin miners or worse. julay infiltrated their discord. https://archive.is/zW6Xh
