Did you consider making your own thread about video games instead of one about bitching that just contributes to the problem you're complaining about?

I'm in man. I'd gladly moderate too when I was around. I just want a place to talk about videogames.

I've been here longer than you've even been aware of this place, my son. Fuck you, but what do recommend I buy and play? I've resorted to old RTS games as of late.

See
Making threads about less popular games is pointless as they can never compete with shitpost threads that start a loli, a meme, or some twitter screencap to get 500 replies

Something like that might take some times to really get going. Most forums die early on. Because people come on, see there isn't any traffic, and then leave. Thus perpetuating no traffic.

You really need to cultivate your small community. The strength and sensibilities of a forum comes from the top. If you're boring, then your forum will be boring. If you're a faggot, then your forum will be full of faggots.

That being said, it might be worth a try. The worst that can happen, is you end up as 1 out of a million abandoned forums on the internet. But if you really care, really cultivate, and have a fair amount of luck, then perhaps you could make something great.

Is it that hard for you to talk about video games? You replied to 2 post that explicitly asked about video games. I think you lose.

Do you prefer Empire Earth or Age of Empires

I feel like there would be a user base that would want that, just don’t really know how to reach them you know? Like nobody is going to go to a forum they saw from an add, and if you get the wrong people talking about it then you get resetera 2.0. I would want to make it America/Canada only, but europoors might be needed to sustain user growth and activity. I’ll research some more and make a post here if I decide to do it. I have the domain registered all ready, so really just need to make it.

I'm playing the first Mother/Earthbound game OP, it's kinda fun but your can see the age. Plus the map is a little confusing.

My first inclination would be to require registering as to deter shit posts and keep the level of discussion at least a couple notches higher than here. Making too strict of rules just discourages original discussion and opinions, then with no accounts and lax rules, you get a shithole like here. It’s a fine line, and if you don’t toe it carefully you end up with shit on either side. I’ll look into analytics like I said in my last post, I’m out of touch with current internet, so I have a lot of catching up to do

We really need thread IDs here, its so obvious when people post bait and then samefag up threads.

An image board is basically the idea, just in a more traditional forum format. I have old mock ups and stuff I did, but those are all based around an account model. I always preferred traditional forums for browsing and talking than image boards, but ultimately it has to be up to user base and what they would want

What did he mean by this?

There, now you know how discourse is handled on Yea Forums.

I don't know how to spread the word. But to the point of attracting the wrong people, remember this: YOU set the rules. As owner, you decide what can be talked about, and what can't. How can you be afraid of creating resetera 2.0, if your rules act as filters against them? The reason resetera is the way it is, is for the fact that they censor discussion that opposes their acceptable narrative. The cure for that, is to allow users to debate without censor.

If queers, trannies and women can't handle their opinions being challenged, then they will run off to resetera.

Do you have a way we can check out progress. I would love to be a part of this thing from the ground up. I think a real videogames forum without the weird Resetera bullshit could really take off.

Fair enough. I just know that the only reason I post here is because there is zero commitment of my own information, at least on the surface level that most people can easily access.
That said, I'm still a little interested.

Things will never improve until these are filtered or otherwise punished. They contribute absoluely nothing and are blatant flamewar/reply bait. It amazes me that I've never seen a ban handed out of any of those yet you can have a genuine video game thread deleted because a random poster is flooding it with spoilered porn.

Okay newfag

Don't make me say it

When I’m ready to start actual development of the site I’ll make a post here, or maybe a dead board. Is /m still dead? I don’t really go on here much anymore. But if you want drop a throwaway, and I’ll let you know directly. The actual development and coding of the site isn’t a problem, but I could definitely use help on the design front, and ui.
I definitely get all that, but I’ve always hated forced narratives of any kind in forums, but like you said without it you end up with this or no users at all. I guess really all you would need to enforce would be no politics, and that would probably suffice as far as strict enforcement of a rule. But a rule set would definitely be needed. I would want to make colour, honour, behaviour, etc give you a perm ip ban. Nazi you get a perm, socialist you get a perm, drumpf you get a perm etc. but I feel like that might be a bit to extreme. But those are the things that render forums unusable to me, so maybe there’s a lot more people like that than I’m thinking

>Like Neogaf minus the cancer, politics, fags etc.
Won't work. Either the leftists will colonise it, /pol/ will colonise it, or the prison gay incels will colonise it.

Say whatever you want newfag, I cant hear you.

Yeah that was always my line of thinking too. With how popular reddit has become it seems like those extremes are all you fucking see anywhere online anymore. Neogaf is still surviving somehow even after it’s implosion, though I doubt how profitibal it is, if it all. But profits would never be a concern for me, but if it gets popular I guess revenue would eventually be needed.

What we're ultimately talking about is not a failure of the forum itself, but a failure of human nature. People want cheap, effortless attention, and if your thread requires people to make thoughtful, detailed replies to be relevant to the OP's thread discussion, then it won't take off. It'll be stuck in the abyss of 5-10 replies over the course of an hour at best.

Just keep politics out of it and you'll be fine. If people want to make jokes about political nonsense, who cares, but if they start pushing agendas (this game is good because it has a woman, this game is bad because it has white/black people, kill all _____ and this game would be good, we outta start boycotting ___ developer, send emails to this advertiser) ban them.

hot tip: no one does, no need to bring it up all the time, this is a board about video games.

>but like you said without it you end up with this or no users at all.
I think you misunderstood my point. I probably didn't explain it well. When people come to learn how the owners of the site manage situations, then the right people will stay, and the wrong people will go. it's really dependent upon your attitude. People naturally respond to those in charge.

If you're the type of person who allows people to defend their own opinions, with little to no moderation, then the angry feminist so used to most other soft social media sites defending her honor, will realize she has no support from you. Either she will stay, and learn to get along with those who disagree with her, or most likely, she'll simply leave, because the forum doesn't bend to her will.
Forced narratives can't exist, if you allow open discussion. They only exist if you start banning people for their opinions.

If you really want to get rid of all political discussion on your board, then realize that is impossible. Because everything is political from someone's perspective. Like, for example, it's probably obvious to you that a woman can dress however they like. But then you have Muhammad who thinks women should cover up. In his eyes, banning his opinion doesn't make you politically neutral. It makes you opposed to his view. And he would be right.

So you have to kind of abandon the idea of neutrality. And decide which set of rules work best for you I suggest keeping enforcement as light as you can, and letting the user base solve their problems for the most part. As it will weed out the SJW snowflakes.

/pol/ is what they destroyed this site and them along with there stormfaggotry.

There's a cool tool called "Thread Watcher" that I don't feel like many people use on here. Helps you keep track of threads you're interested in without having to actively keep them open on your computer. To enable it, go to "Settings" and look under the "Monitoring" tab.

I've come upon this strategy as well. Sometimes I'll make a bait thread for guaranteed replies, and then pretend to be another user down below with a "serious though, " post

You should try Panzer Dragoon Orta sometime, or at least listen to the soundtrack.

Yeah good point, I would want it to be what Yea Forums in theory should be. Free form discussion, but obviously kids, foreigners, pol, and fags have ruined this place. I feel like simple shit like funny word filters, featured reviews/write ups on games and series, and just little stuff like that helps keep the community engaged. Stuff the niche focused forums do well, but alienate a lot of users due to specific subject matter. But now I’m definitely considering this, going to start tomorrow and dig up all my old ideas and designs. Thanks to everyone who replied, gave me something to do in my free time, and honestly a little excited about the idea of having a good gaming forum again

sometimes they respond to the bait and see the serious post, sometimes I just get replies for the bait

either way I win

GODDAMMIT

This is literally done all the time. I've seen tons of people admit to making bait threads just to discuss the game. I've done it myself. Reel people in with the outrage and then they'll stick around to actually discuss it. It's far too effective, especially over heartfelt threads that are archived within an hour.

I remember playing the original with the headset. Getting your SQUAD to set up and hold/open fire for ambushes was so sick

Filtering the buzzwords most anons like to throw around here won't fix much, they'll just find new ones to latch onto. Taking away certain words from people who don't want to have a meaningful discussion in the first place won't magically change their minds, and it unfortunately doesn't make them go away either.

Fuck /pol/ there has been a few threads trying to normalize nazism on this board.
My hatred only grows because they them selves killed this site.

everyone complaining about your threads getting no replies, you need to improve your marketing. you are competing with all the faster-to-digest threads.

instead of posting a paragraph make your point in a catchy sentence or two. the conversation that results will give you an opportunity to flesh out your points

>forced narratives cant exist if you allow for open discussion
You can just look at your own post and see how wrong that is.
Here, the narrative is "feminism bad", "anything thats not right leaning or further bad" and anyone who dissents from those ideas is called a tranny, or a white knight who only agrees for a chance for sex.
Its not only moderation that creates a narrative, its also the makeup of your users.

That’s more of what I meant (I’m the guy he was replying to)
I don’t want those kinds of users at all, but I think he means you kinda need them if you want a user base, but just enforce the rules that prohibit that kind of bullshit. I don’t care if a gay dude uses the site, but it should never be brought up because it’s a nerd forum about games and shit. But then you let that stuff slide then it becomes resetera, van people to freely, then you get pol. But he does have a good point in that as long as the rules are clear and concise, users see you enforce them, and you aren’t a total fag, then that type of discussion should never really start in the first place. That’s how I’m looking at it at least

To all you anons worried about jackasses not taking a discussion seriously that resorting to desperate namecalling or shitty memes: don't internalize it too much. I know people can get too invested in a stupid argument because they fear the other side may influence others into believing in stupid shit. But there are always plenty lurkers monitoring a thread without participating and they know when someone is acting like an idiot. Make yourself look as reasonable as possible and people will see you that way. And eventually the lurkers will come to call out the jackasses with you.

I don't have many ideas. I'm not good at this stuff. I'm only speaking from the perspective of a guy who use to frequent a few forums back in the day.

But I would suggest tying accounts to emails, so users can change their names without problem.

My beliefs aren't being forced upon anyone. I'm just stating things from my perspective. And btw, I expressed pro-feminist sentiment: The freedom for women to wear what they want. The only thing I said negative about feminism, is the implication that they're overly sensitive.

You're right in a sense. But users can't really force narratives, without the authority to stifle those who might criticize them. Users can form sort of a majority acceptable sensibility. But that develops naturally over time, from the grooming of the site owner and his moderation. It's like pruning a tree. You have to know the right branches to cut, in order to get it to grow in a healthy way. But you don't have full control over how it ultimately forms. And if one branch grows in a bad way, then you you have to be brave enough to cut it out entirely.

Well if this is the case then there is no point to owning a business, getting a job, starting a website, or engaging in any activity if it can just be taken away if you say the wrong thing and piss off the liberal elites. I don't really believe they have as much power as some people do.

Agreed, I see it all the time. Usually the user that's getting attacked by trolls is the one I agree with. I'm just too lazy to post.

Basically. It’s not just Yea Forums, I’ve seen half a dozen forums get turned to dogshit by the new generation.

Just look at Smashboards, it’s become a faggy circlejerk of lonely losers who only have internet “friends” venting about their depression or other nonsense online, and the whole thing being polices by the PC patrol who ensures you can’t say anything mean, negative, or against the established narrative.

Just because you didn't get replies doesn't mean people didn't read it. They just don't always have something to say.

Why is the internet like this now. What changed exactly? The PC Patrol didn't exist 10 years ago, how did they come about and start wrecking everything?

Youre completely right about lurkers
In a pokemon thread I posted a fresh streamable link and by the time the thread archived it had like 93 views despite only getting 2 (You)s and having like 30 unique ips in the thread

Stifling the opposition doesnt need to stem from banning those who say the wrong thing, it just has to be "annoy/bully/etc people who dont believe the same until they decide the forum isnt for them".
If I went to a forum where people were spamming shit I didnt like I wouldnt post there despite not being directly told to fuck off

Its hard to balance moderation and appease everyone. That guy has to not be afraid to trim the branches like you said. Someones gonna always be upset if you dont let them post what they want. Hopefully he has a spine

>actually liking video games
that was your first mistake, OP. the second one was coming here to discuss video games.

Word of warning: Don't make containment boards. They don't work. All you will do, is give the undesirables a home on your forum, and then they'll spread to other boards. Just get rid of troublemakers. Tell the idiots to calm down, and settle everyone back on the topic.

I know people hate to hear /pol/ get blamed for all of Yea Forums's problems. But back in the day, political discussions on Yea Forums were small asides. Just little diversions, before getting righted. But after /pol/ got big, Yea Forums users got radicalized. Now political shit dominates so many threads. It's insane. It's best never to give the /pol/ types a home. If you have to put out a few political fires, that's just part of the deal. But NEVER give them a base on your site.

It’s a combination of things.

Universities brainwashing students with lefty propaganda. Universities being more accessible too. The kids who were weirdos in school (you know the ones), now have a platform, and since they were always friendless losers, they’re not only familiar with the web, but also used it to project their views and voice, and in finding like-minded idiots, they began to self-delude and go deeper down the rabbit hole. The newer generations are overprotected by the softer parenting of older generations. Politics are now a huge propaganda tool being used as a form of social identity, making the problem even worse... etc... In short, it was always meant to happen.

Single parent households/bad parenting, plus the media and universities rearing ill-developed kids with bad ideas, plus the internet allowing those who’d otherwise be silent, find other like-minded morons, and becomes a very loud minority that shifts public perception through the power of the web.

>Forced narratives can't exist, if you allow open discussion.
This fucking site is proof enough that isn't true. Even before it got raped by /pol/.

>it just has to be "annoy/bully/etc people who dont believe the same until they decide the forum isnt for them
Hell, it being an actual forum, and not an anonymous shithole, I naturally assumed he would quell hostilities, and discourage bullying. But if you're annoyed by the opinions of the user to the point where you believe posting is no longer desirable, then that's the natural falloff I was talking about before. Undesirables will leave naturally.

If the owner of the site doesn't want users expressing the opinion that annoyed you, then he could tell them to avoid talking about it. But then that would run the risk of turning things the other way. Then people with your sensibilities could flood the forum with your beliefs, making the other group feel uncomfortable. Ultimately, it's up to the owner to decide whether intervention is needed or not. And when that time comes, he should do so by his own set of beliefs. Not entirely neutral. But sure enough to gently influence the flow of users to his liking.

t. newfag

Inner colture stuff will always exist. This shit happens in here because users want to talk about other shit with their own community (here its Yea Forums). Why do you think you get a thread about 007 being a black woman now, in v? Sure, 007 has has a big place in games but its obvious that this conversation should be has in Yea Forums, not here.

So yeah, they dont want to talk with Yea Forums about off topic stuff, they still want to talk with Yea Forums about their own memes and celebs, and all around its own offtopic

Even the post above yours proves it
You get unironic boogeyman posting with no moderation
"Anyone who doesnt believe the same as I do must have been radicalized by propaganda"
"University bad"
Its disgusting to see

I didnt catch the part where he said it wouldnt be user
If its not, most of the issues disappear. But then it becomes a circlejerk
Moderation is very hard, I wish him the best of luck

I was interested until i read that you're just some racist trumptard.

Go for Dosbox and read crpg addict blog for some recommendation.

Super excited to hear that your retarded ass won't be going to his forum!

It will fail, your sperg utopia has no future because internet is the place where diversity of opinions is what counts and not some loser who hasn't owned a single community on his shitty life already filled with prejudices. Kill yourself.

He never said anything remotely right wing, as a matter of fact he was talking about keeping pol types out. You're the one who has let your prejudices show.

>Hell, it being an actual forum, and not an anonymous shithole, I naturally assumed he would quell hostilities

No it makes things worse because cliques form and someone who says something dumb in on thread will never be forgiven of it in another. Giving people names lets people hold grudges if arguments breakout or resentment if someone gets more engagement than someone else.
You're not taking into account that the IRL political landscape has changed drastically. In addition the two have merged where once they used to be separate.

>been here since 2006
>never seriously thought about permanently leaving until the past year
I'm 25, have most people just made friends by now that they can talk to instead? I hate the constant culture war shit but there's nowhere else to go.

> but the Middle East, South America, Mexico, Asia, and 90% of Europe wouldn’t be allowed access
He is the typical incel /pol/tard who would never be able to run a community on his own, total inept disgrace. Probably will kill himself soon lmao.

I remember when Yea Forums was pretty chill compared to the overwhelming faggotry of Yea Forums, now it's /pol/cancer everywhere.

So? That user will harass till people capitulate.
Going offline is always a good idea, but be aware that even Ted Kazinski couldn't escape the world even when he ran off to a hut in the woods. It is crucial to build up networks to help each other out in this shitshow, don't think you can hide from it though, it will end up where-ever you go.

Why is trying to give "redpills" on a videogame board worth your time, tourist? Regardless to how true you believe what youre saying is
Go back
This is the problem with this site now, people like you screech about politics when we just want to talk about videogames

That's partially because here is the only place /pol/tards can do what they do. Everywhere else you will get your life ruined if you cross the shitty internet Stasi like this faggot

>You're not taking into account that the IRL political landscape has changed drastically
It doesn't matter how much more politicized the climate is in the real world. A containment board is not the solution. A politically radicalized public, only means a more unwieldy containment board.

Name a single succesful, relevant or even lasting community that has "but the Middle East, South America, Mexico, Asia, and 90% of Europe wouldn’t be allowed access" as it's main rule? Internet isn't place for people who can't stand diversity. He will fail.

No but I am saying even if /pol/ wasn't a thing that shit would find it's way here. 10 years ago we didn't have major outlets telling people that whites are evil and that genderqueer browns are the only people you should cater too.

>I want to have an American server to talk about American videogame culture
>He's a TRUMPTARD RACIST NAZI
Jesus, you people find evil racist trump voters wherever you look don't you? No wonder people voted that retard into office, if the alternative is people like you I'd vote in Pol Pot.

They can resent each other. So long as they act respectably. That's what I mean by quell hostilities. They can co-exist on a forum, without actively being insulting or antagonistic toward one another. And if they can't handle that, then they can be held accountable, and formally banned. Not this bullshit banning Yea Forums has, where you just reset your IP, and pretend nothing happened.

Name one where that was instituted in the first place. The internet is for people to connect, like minded people attract like minded people. I see nothing wrong with that. Now is his thing going to succeed? I dunno, let him try.

Reddit is even worse. If you dont get the top comment as soon as a thread is made no one will ever see your post let alone reply to it. It's not organic at all. People fight you a lot because they feel like it's an instant message directed at them because of the way threads work. Voting in comments is horrible.

Dont the jp chan boards have that rule?

10 years ago we didnt have major outlets telling people that brown people are the cause of all of your problems and whites are the only people you should cater to
It can go both ways, go back to /pol/ where people will humor your shit.

Stormfag's site is still around so maybe .

If you haven't realized. This is a meta thread, and the user giving "redpills"(Your term, not his) was just responding to a question with his own opinion. If you want to act all high and mighty, then stop replying to this thread immediately. Instead of trying to denounce his ideas.

nobody:

OP: I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT VIDEOGAMES!!!

>2 people are shouting at me
>Ok but that's invalid because one of the people shouting at you is /pol/
So that other person magically stops shouting? What happens when you tell that person to fuck off? Oh wait now YOU'RE /pol/. Bash it out your ass you partisan fuckwad.

>American videogame culture
So no Japanese games allowed? What does even American videogame culture mean? Videogames have always been diverse like it or not and mostly a liberal medium at that, don't give me this "no politics allowed" bullshit when the site itself already has stated to operate on highly political, ethno nationalist bias. /pol/tard types will never be able to run a community regardless of which jewish puppet you voted for.

Not him but I care about this shit and I browse Yea Forums I mean why would I not respond or push back on stuff when I see people saying things?

Yea Forums doesn't lost a lot of the spark to make stuff because of shitters who take everything too seriously.

>The internet is for people to connect, like minded people attract like minded people. I see nothing wrong with that. Now is his thing going to succeed? I dunno, let him try.
The idea that only people of the same country can be like minded it's nothing but prejudice, why would anyone with common decency would want that mindset to succeed on the internet? I can't honestly imagine anyone but your average /pol/tard thinking that's the ideal thing to have of instead of judging posts and ideas on their own instead of where they come from.

It's white flight the site, that shit is guaranteed to be mayonnaise central.

it isnt worth sacrificing anonymity or your heterosexuality desu

Well they can go off and be prejudiced together and not have common decency or whatever. That's more or less what the settlers did so sounds American enough. Honestly if they're off doing their retarded shit what's it to you or me?

I know, which is why I never go there. I like talking about vidya on Yea Forums.

Name one, retard. I have moderated two of the most popular Quake Live servers around and one thing i have learned is that people from America can act worse than anyone from Europe or LA. go fuck yourself with your shitty "redpilled" nationalism, fuckin shit stain.

>free market
>when mods actively delete certain video game threads and only delete off topic threads if they aren't political
The mods and hiroshima are promoting this bullshit.

Creativity thrives within limitation. Yea Forums became less creative when no one was serious. Or at least, no one was expected to be serious. There is no standard to deviate from. The mods hide, so there is no authority to mock. There is no culture, so there is no one else to mock.

its pretty bad here but the occasional to rare good discussion makes it all worth it

who cares, it's a website to talk about videogames and videogame related content, I don't give a shit how much of the population is white.

>I modded 2 servers for a game nobody plays

The people that always deflect onto the OP for complaining about this board are probably the same people guilty of making the shit OP complains about.

Nor should you.

But he's right.
t. someone who's moderated for several TF2 and Gmod communities. Americans are the problem, hacking russians and brazillians aside.

Ok why are you here then? Why don't you have a diverse forum to lord over and talk about videogames there?
It's because
A: You're full of shit.
And
B: You're not here to talk about VIDEOGAMES, you're just here to get pissy at /pol/niggers and police regular people that might be swayed by their rhetoric.

I think long generals runs counter to the ideas of generals, why would I subject myself to it?

We get people from all the world, that's enough to learn more than the incel who is talking about starting a site but doesn't know people at all outside Yea Forums or knows any other form of communication, sad little thing. I want to watch his community implode because if there is someone who can't stand a /poi/tard for long is another "redpilled" fedora wearing incel.

What you talking about fuckin retard? Yea Forums is one of the most fucking diverse places on the internet.

No you want to destroy it because the thought of white people talking to each other without a moderator able to shut it down gives you the cold sweats even if it's a bunch of people who just want to talk about videogames.

>because the thought of white people talking to each other without a moderator able to shut it down gives you the cold sweats even if it's a bunch of people who just want to talk about videogames.
Thanks for proving me right. It was /pol/tards all along.

Can you in all honesty prove people were more serious then than now? People who post Seethe and Dilate are far more dedicated to wasting their time and effort. There's no culture because the people who "just wanted to be ontopic and follow the rules" attacked it at every opportunity, even when it produced nice comfy content.

I'm not OP, I'm quite happy to shitpost about politics in between videogames. I just think he should be able to do what he wants without you kvetching and screeching in his ear.

i agree

It was simply a demonstration that the whole "no politics" allowed it's pretty hypocritical and nonsensical when you have a site operating on political bias over anything in the first place. People like him are the reason why decent videogame discussion will never be a thing again, it's all about prejudice and not the actual quality of each post. Is the same shit we already got here, people already judging things based on some agenda.

It's because kids don't have their own Yea Forums like site. So they come here and spread their cancer. They only wanna talk about the newest AAA trash or repost the same fucking joke again. Then they post about the literally shit tier dumpster games not worth the money you pay for them that they played as kids like Mineycrafta. It's a fucking damn shame honestly.

Board speed was much slower back then, so on-topic discussion could survive on only getting a couple posts per hour. Now your thread can easily die in less than an hour under the neverending downpour of twittercaps and wojakwars.

I do.

Meanwhile /pol/ is still going strong and actually has many on topic threads. Unlike Yea Forums. Maybe you’re the problem, user

Ironically, /pol/ likes to migrate into other boards and disrespect their ethnoboard by injecting their filth into those other boards, much like what Yea Forums did but with less humor.

I don’t know. I see way more cumbrain “masked” fetish threads than /pol/ threads.

>Make thread about video game
>No replies and thread dies
>Meanwhile the thread screeching about how SJWs are killing the game industry just hit the bump limit
v is not nice

>On topic threads
>Minorities bad me good

I would have agreed with you until a year or so ago, but now I realise the actual problem is Yea Forums, like everything else, is majority ESL now, and someone without a command of the language they're using makes nothing but terrible posts on an entirely text-driven and picture-punctuated board. They're also the primary wojack and pepe posters now. Just pay attention to tell-tale ESL grammar next time someone makes a fucking idiot retard post.

Those are just one of the few shitpost threads that attract enough (you)s to survive alongside the /pol/ threads.

So you’re just seething about /pol/ and don’t actually care about Yea Forums. Got it

Because they spread like a disease. I don't go there to talk about videogames because I'm not a teenage mongrel.

They can't upvote you so you'll have to work in some hooks and edge that will make people feel the need to engage with you.

yes and?
I make /pol/ posts and reply to myself with an angry leftie post or vice versa

Way to out yourselves as newfags, Yea Forums has had a hard time staying on topic since it's inception you fucking retards.

I find it hilarious when "real oldfags" see pic related and start pretending that Yea Forums used to be far left before /pol/, like they completely forgot why everyone used to mock the retards at Fox News in the first place.

I'm not implying it was far right like it is now either, it was fairly politically ambiguous, as in people were only there to troll others. But yeah, that's real fresh coming from you, a seething 2014 gamergate/resetera tourist.

Shitting on politicians is different from legitimately trying to push an agenda. One is funny the other is pathetic as fuck.

Calling someone a faggot because they dislike you're favourite game = fine.
Posting infographics about why fags are ruining the west = not ok. I don't fucking care about your agenda.

>decently long
>thoughtful
>eloquent
that's your problem, get to the fucking point or go back

Sad state of affairs.

Usually the person has given up on the thread having said all they have to say on the subject and being ignored for so long, or your reply isn't much to continue a conversation and there is little point to reply. Without usernames there is no reason to reply to every post to build some kind of cred so there is no demand to always reply. Even if it is the latter option it's probably safe to assume they appreciated the reply.

Kids were never the problem. They've been sneaking into shit they shouldn't from day one and some are genuinely interesting. It was the lack of lurking for months before even posting once that became the issue. People these days assume anything goes and just jump in and try to shape everything to how they think it should be with no thought of the people on the other end. It's all anonymous online, Yea Forums especially, so they don't see a reason to think before acting.

The more people socialize via a screen and less in person the more disconnected they become from reality. They lose the fact that there are real people who have their own lives on the other end and just see the internet like a sandbox game for them to play with. By the time they grow up and start to realize they fucked up it's too late.

Also, phone posting and being able to the ability to change your IP becoming widely known has removed the only way to punish people for not respecting anything. There's literally no recourse short of breaking the law and having your local government come knocking on your door. Pretty sure shitposting about dumb games isn't illegal so there's not much to be done.

Absolutely
When newfag retards thought that the non-pc jokes were peoples genuine thoughts it started to go downhill, but even so they were a minorit for years, but It slowly got worse and worse until the 2016 election
Calling people faggot/nigger went from a joke to people unironically posting infographics about how gays and blacks are subhuman and should be eliminated and that hitler was right, the same type of radical idiot that would have been laughed out of a thread is now treated as the norm
