Yea Forums discussion thread

>Ban phoneposting
A little extreme, but would probably up the board quality. Not gonna happen tho as long as Hiroshimoot is in charge
>Ban e-celeb shit
I don't know. AVGN and old Gamegrumps threads are pretty nice. I feel like e-celebs are one of the smaller problems Yea Forums has to deal with
>get rid of (you)s entirely
Nah. Would deter low effort shitposting at the cost of losing what makes Yea Forums different from other video game forums. Unless you have an alternative?

That's because Yea Forums has gotten so many new users from more popular sites, such as Facebook. A lot of idiots in here have no qualms in letting it be known they also visit Reddit, which is something that some years ago was instantly condemned.

It's only going to get worse, because Yea Forums is becoming more and more popular, and the new users are younger and younger.

Your e-celeb opinion is fucking shit and you're fucking shit get off this goddamn board and the quality will go up.
Fuck you.

The one change I would like is for mods to be more aggressive about deleting blatant console war threads. If a thread is created specifically to attack another console (or PC) it should just be deleted without question.

We need to filter incel and unfilter söy. Also we desperately need an e-celeb board. This shit is spreading all over Yea Forums and needs to be contained. How many times are you gonna delete twitter screencaps and internet drama when five more threads will just take it's place?

Fuck off Sylvando you fag

Test: gamer

no more wordfilters

I honestly don't think that's a bad thing and it's completely inevitable. New people become adults every day and those adults will look for places to discuss their interests. It's okay if they're retarded at first, we all were when we first got here. I remember participating in raids on Yea Forums 12 years ago.

You are fucking stupid and all of your opinions are worthless. Can we get a Yea Forums employee who has an IQ above room temperature please?

I think you overestimate the human race. I guarantee you there are more stupid people who stuck to their own cancerous ways than people who grew out of that nonsense.

>losing what makes Yea Forums different from other video game forums.
(you) has never been an integral part of the Yea Forums experience. it was just another quality of life addition that brings clarity to the ongoing discussions. it should be axed because outside forces have misunderstood its meaning and treat it like an upvote so they churn out low quality garbage just so people would hyperlink their post. remove (you) and bring back visual sage would fix a lotof the site's problems.

I think an e-celeb board would be a terrible idea. It would end up like the circlejerk on /vg/ and that's actually dangerous because in this case it involves real people who could be stalked or harassed. An e-celeb board would inevitably lead to a crime.

>How do you propose we fix Yea Forums?
I never thought I'd say this, but ID tags on all posts would be a start. It would fix the rampant (You) fishing and falseflagging that has ruined this board over the past few years. That wouldn't fix it all, but it would help.
>but lately it has become stale and static
This. Years ago you could come here and generally find original content that anons made much more frequently. God, I used to laugh my fucking ass off at the shit people would do, and it was always vidya related, too. Now it's usually pictures from /r/gaming or threads completely devoid of discussion so people can just scream some variation of "based" over and over again.

>Merge /vp/ with everything Nintendo related and make it /vpn/
>Actually enforce rules on both boards

Real talk, why haven't mods banned the word "Sneed" yet? CuMBraiN got filtered, yet they can't be bothered to ban the only word that's fucked this site for the past two years?

Well what's your idea then?

I don't think we could fix Yea Forums without changing what it is on a fundamental level or the people coming here

>v*lvedrone filtered
>s*yboy filtered
>c*mbrain filtered
>incel not filtered
>have sex not filtered
>based/cringe/cope/seethe/dilate not filtered
really makes you think

And that's when Hiro or some other mods will have rules in place to prevent such a thing. I know you people do it for free but maybe it's time to actually do your jobs so the bad shit never happens.

>off topic shit and ecchi dumps reach bump limit and get archived
>assume it's because there's no staff online
>shitty new buzzword gets deleted within minutes every time even when it's not in the OP
eye opening experience desu

The way to fix every board on this website is to make it so OP cannot post a picture.

>the people coming here
That's really the only substantial way. Wave after wave of electionfags from /pol/ and t_d have been the biggest detriment to the site.

I just fundamentally don't think allowing e-celeb discussion at all is a good idea. It inevitably leads to idol worship and personality cults that can only have negative consequences. I think the easiest way to deal with e-celeb threads is to just delete them.

>I think an e-celeb board would be a terrible idea
Maybe true, but nothing showcases the change in Yea Forums like an e-celeb thread. Especially when certain worthless faggot YouTubers or streamers are actually defended and praised unironically here.

Give PlayStation its own board.

Banning phone IP's is a great idea someone needs to contact Gookmoot ASAP. Also we really need that e-celeb board to filter unwanted garbage. (you)s can stay.

1.) We need to can old memes like we did prior to the invasion of Facebook, reddit and other websites. So wojak, Pepe and other things in that nature should be banned.
2.) an ID system would stop some shitposters and getting rid of (yous)
3.) ban anyone who says they browse reddit like the mods did back in the day
4.) keep political shit off the board. I’ve seen retards falseflag in order to make the quality of posts lower.
5.) get better mods, the mods have been real shit since moot left, they either need to can all of them or train them. Also get rid of mods with biases
6.) this is the most important part, We need to encourage more OC, Yea Forums pumps out more OC than Yea Forums when before that wasn’t the case. Encouraging drawfags or singingfags or dancingfags could do some good for this board. In its current state it’s as bad as /pol/ was during the 2016 election

I see what you mean but that's a pretty substantial cost

why? so nincels can raid it with cope threads?

>And what do you think about the mods very quickly filtering c*mbrain to "gamer"?

1. gamer ?

2. because it's a shitty, forced meme by /pol/. It's not even a fun meme like GAS THE KIKES, RACE WAR NOW but a shit moralfaggot boomer neocon meme whose main promoters have no problem with jews, racemixing, or usury in general so long as it's "wholesome"

>I think the easiest way to deal with e-celeb threads is to just delete them
Yeah, and tell me how is that currently working right now?
>It inevitably leads to idol worship and personality cults that can only have negative consequences
This is already a thing here and a board dedicated to such a thing will not make it worse than it already is.

As if people didn't do it on Yea Forums ?

Ban sales threads.

>How do you propose we fix Yea Forums?

Don't allow anyone who has never had sex to post. Would fix the board overnight.

I think it's working pretty well. Most times there are no e-celeb threads and when there are threads it's usually just one at a time that gets deleted before it hits 50 posts. Frankly I think people whine about them too much. The only real problem at all is that some autistic psycho posts about a specific e-celeb once each day. Maybe those are the threads you're having an issue with? I think the only way to deal with that would be a range ban.

Anyone who blames the /pol/ boogeyman needs to be banned
If you don't like right wing opinions you have the rest of the goddamn internet now

a playstation board would unironically be paradise, at least there you might actually be able to discuss games.

I can't believe the /pol/chads won chapotraphouse trannie bros....

I go to /pol/ the gamer meme was non-existent there. I think it came from r9k. The same thing happened with the NPC meme which also came from r9k and got blamed on /pol/.

I just don't see how "gas the kikes, shoot the spics, and deport anyone that is darker than my suntan" is video game discussion.

Doesn't matter which side's opinion you dislike, neither should be so obviously posted here in off-topic threads as much as /pol/ shit has been since 2016.

>the mods very quickly filtering c*mbrain to "gamer"?
They did? I thought I saw some fags using it in a thread this morning. gamer

Also, you can't "fix" Yea Forums, the community has changed. There is no real discussion or originality. It's just one word or regurgitated replies and threads that are posted multiple times a day about trannys. When a new subject does come up it hardly gets any traction, and more clever threads that are still video game related though not explicitly about video games get pruned immediately, while the /pol/bait threads stay up.

go back to r/the_donald, election tourist

Anyone who posts on /pol/ should be banned, and also killed. Would fix a lot more than just Yea Forums

Fuck you.

Npc was definitely/pol/ but they aren't behind cumbrian

>blatantly obvious non-vidya shit like "which games let me beat cuh-razy odds!?" becomes the norm

nah e-celebs are shit, why the dead nigger even got a sticky is beyond retarded

It's strange I always hear of this /pol/ character but every thread with cancer tends to share leftist views. Now why is this so common? It really makes you think.

No it wasn't. NPC started on r9k and then was brought to /pol/. You might as well say awoo or pepe are /pol/ memes.

I forgot to say one more thing. You literally gave a sticky to some dead Nintenigger. Shut the hell up.

die

You guys think things will get better here? Or are we just going downhill?
It could be worse, be glad we didn't end up like Yea Forums

Reminder that the overwhelming majority of /pol/'s current traffic is made up from newfags who found the site after /pol/ harbor and are election tourists.

You are beyond hope. How mad are you that you can't downvote me right now, electionfag?

it's just a ever steepening slope until the end.

1. Add thread IDs.
2. Make sage the default option when posting.

Only shitposters will disagree with this post.

Hot damn, that's some bait I've just gotta reply to
Truly astounding

>pre-2015 Yea Forums is gone forever
thanks redditors

People like to blame /pol/ for everything.
It's a part of the problem and the biggest infestation of the problem resides there.
But it itself isn't the problem, the problem that people think is /pol/ is actually the Trumpanzees

Yea Forums is full of bots. The threads there never feel organic. It gives off the vibe that if someone went to some shady site and turned off all adblocks that included popups offering you penis enlargement pills.

Angsty teenage fag

I think 2016 pushed a lot of the more mature and decent anons away forever, and I don't blame them. They aren't coming back, and while I think the /pol/ shit might lessen, it'll just be replaced by e-celeb drama given the way the internet works as of late.

>And what do you think about the mods very quickly filtering c*mbrain to "gamer
Why the fuck have they not done this with tranny yet? That derails threads way harder than c*mbrain did, is it just because the latter is the hot new forced meme and filtering tranny would be like filtering nigger?

Moot could’ve stopped it but he was a bitch and caved in. He also abandoned us and left us with a owner who only cares about his coin

It's sad that we can't discuss the actual problems of Yea Forums because people just use these threads as a way to take pot shots at /pol/.

mods need to fucking quadruple down on off-topic shit, it needs to be policed until the culture changes for the better, but this needs to be site-wide not just here

go back

>We are allowed one meta thread at a time so get in here
Nope. Meta threads are moved to /qa/ and it has been like that for months.

/pol/ is the actual problem of Yea Forums

I've been here since 2006.

what's the point of discussing the problems when the guys in charge don't give a shit? it's just blowing off steam, and for some that means taking a swing at /pol/. harden up buttercup.

2016 you mean

>gamer is filtered
>have sex still allowed
mods=fags?

>How do you propose we fix Yea Forums?
No method that's viable with the current moderation team and replacing RapeApe's cabal is not an option
>And what do you think about the mods very quickly filtering c*mbrain to "gamer"?
The sperg-out over its poor reception on Yea Forums and swift banning is hysterical and it couldn't have more obviously been one person or a small group attempting to force it. Exhentai coming back up at around the same time was icing on top.

>perma ban e-celeb/"content" creator posters

All of this would be a nice start.

i miss Heaven

Not the e-celeb threads?
Not the console sales shitposting?
The shitposting threads about exclusives?
The constant soft core porn?
There is literally a furry thread on the front page right now. Is that /pol/ too?
How about the 50 smash threads, is that also /pol/?
It was too hot today, did /pol/ do that too?

as annoying as they can be, they're not the ones spamming 20 smash threads on the catalog at all times. they're not responsible for the obnoxious console war bullshit either.

Should be filter to Chuck

What even constitutes as "/pol/" anyway? Everytime I see people blame the board it's always an underage or a Canadian getting mad at an opinion they do not like.

This.

Really? It seems the people yell at /pol/ are the ones that need to harden up. Not even the same user but when was the last time you heard of a thick skinned leftist?

>What even constitutes as "/pol/" anyway?
"anything that is further to the right than my own opinions on any given matter"

Blatant political shit that has nothing to do with video games. You can always tell someone is from /pol/ because of their typing style. Also /pol/ users are fairly new to the website so they don’t know the rules or culture. They’re also the ones blackposting and causing flame wars

Consolewar, e-celeb, and some of the others are at least tangentially vidya. A thread with a picture of Trump and "what are some games you can __________" or screencaps baiting one political view of another are not. I agree it's not JUST /pol/ shit, but that has been a substantial reason why Yea Forums has taken a hard turn towards shit lately. Even threads that start vidya often devolve into political shit-flinging and namecalling because the election brought people who have no want to actually discuss vidya here to shitpost and falseflag without consequence.

Cambrian

Most of the flame wars are console wars started by an autistic Canadian Sony fan. I strongly doubt he goes to /pol/.

/pol/tards are the first to start crying if someone disagrees with them. What’s crazy is that a lot of them are underage such as yourself so they’re too stupid to realize how hypocritical they’re sounding. Maybe in a few years you’ll be allowed to post here but you need to go back to your echo chamber

/pol/ is the new Yea Forums ya tard. people bitched about Yea Forums raiding other boards for years. I can't believe i lived to see the Yea Forums boogey man die and see it replaced by some /news/ hybrid. Get over it.

Anyone who talks about politics outside of /pol/ should be banned.
If you don't like staying on topic and actually talking about your hobbies you have the rest of the goddamn internet to shitpost about politics without reason or provocation now.

>Consolewar, e-celeb, and some of the others are at least tangentially vidya.
who gives a fuck if it's "tangentially vidya." it's still shitposting and it still drags down the quality of the board, no excuses.

>Not the e-celeb threads?
"e-celeb" has an extremely slippery definition as it is and it's largely used to refer to any youtuber, streamer or video-creator the person complaining doesn't enjoy. this isn't inherently a problem
>Not the console sales shitposting?
could stand to be curtailed
>The shitposting threads about exclusives?
flavor of console-wars, not necessarily a problem when it's not *WHIRRRRRR* OHHH NO NO NO epin sony vs. nintendo skeleton-xbox tiers of shitposts
>The constant soft core porn?
not actually a problem, see "Yea Forums with video games"
>There is literally a furry thread on the front page right now.
who cares, the spirit of the rule against furries from the era it was drafted in was for "murr~ :3 *pounces on u*" attention-whoring furfags and not the actual imagery, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk about any video-game that features an anthropomorphic character (up to and including catgirls and the like depending on your definition of "furry")
>How about the 50 smash threads,
genuinely suspect that nothing's been done about curtailing it but probably they're trying to avoid making another /vp/, or hiro doesn't actually care to try and make such a board since moot largely made boards if and when it amused him
>It was too hot today, did /pol/ do that too?
yeah, nazi sunbeams an sheit

>Not even the same user but when was the last time you heard of a thick skinned leftist?
Yeah, because a bunch of hillbillies crying about football players kneeling screams toughness. Get the fuck out of here, /pol/ are the biggest whiners on this board and they're easy to spot because the minute you challenge their views, even on just vidya, they resort to calling everybody niggers or trannies as they REEEEE into the night.

No one was bitching about /pol/ until the stormfags and r/thedonald faggots hi jacked that board. As a matter of fact it wasn’t an echo chamber until faggots like you made it into one

You have not been here for a long time. It is not the liberal safe haven you think it is. This place has been calling each other niggers and faggots since the dawn of this site.

when was the last time you heard of a thick-skinned right winger

Yeah I'm not saying that shit should be allowed either, but that's far more tolerable than a bunch of wojacks and frogs with obvious political leanings that have 0% to do with vidya.

stormfags hijacking the board predates /pol/, see /new/

dilate tranny

I'm not bitching about /pol/
I'm bitching about people posting political garbage on unrelated boards. /pol/ can do whatever the fuck it wants, but retards need to stop acting like every board on Yea Forums is for posting political memes while maybe talking about other shit.

I don't care for any type of politics left or right. This is a video games board. Every thread I have seen tends to have kids on a very left of the spectrum and it gets very annoying. Your angry post and assumptions is proof of this.

cummer

But discussions about writing in video games trend toward the political. You can't just ban people due to the fact that this happens, that's retarded.
