Disable flags.
It will only cause the same shit flinging we see over at /pol/ and /int/.
This is an objective requirement if we want some form of quality control on this board.
>>1842
This.
I can understand /int/ and maybe /pol/ but this is supposed to be a somewhat good board, not shit from the start.
I agree on behalf of all Swedish posters
Better, ban anyone who shitposts "AYY LMAO ROMANIA GYPSY GYPSY" or "SWEDEN YES".
Only ignorant manchildren do so.
>>1842

Exhibit A.
>>2203
What's up, Pope?
Flags are acceptable, but I'd like them removed
What REALLY needs to be taken off are IDs
>>1842
DISABLE FLAGS
I agree
I remember when this board wasn't this shitty
>>2203
Great the Vatican will shitpost over religious history.
>>1842
But how else are we going to take the piss out of the French or the Germans?
>>2203
dumb frogposter
>>1842
Flags turn every board into /int/. One's enough.
>>1842

Flags and IDs are good.

>>1842
This. Disable IDs and flags or this will just torn into another /pol/
>>1842
Just lurking this new board here /his/ probably isn't my thing, but I figure I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring anyway and agree with OP on this.
People were already saying a /his/ board would just devolve into /pol/ eventually, and the flags are just going to accelerate that.
Remove flags if you want /his/ to have a chance, and I don't see any reason a history board needs flags.
>>1842
I agree.
Not a huge fan of IDs, either.

flags are fine, you fags
ids maybe not, but flags definitely
>>1842
pls no flag
Yes. Stop shitposting /pol/ fools destroying our board.
>>2244
why are ids bad? im curious as to your reason
>>2506
what's the point of anonymity if there are IDs?
Well, On one hand having flags let you see a poster's bias
But it also eventually devolves into shit slinging like in the Irish thread
Please disable flags, I'm never in my home country due to business anyway
Intense moderation is what the board needs more than anything.
Flags and IDs or not, it would still take a human to judge "ok, this is that same faggot shill posting his same shit every single day and making it his life mission to be a revisionist shit" and delete the threads.
Basically revisionist stuff, which I would define as "major statements contrasting wit known history that are not backed up with verified, sourced historical fact" should not be allowed. Psuedo-science is well known, we have psuedo-history as well and should not allow it.
Sourced facts > all.
What would be cool is if we had a special function on this board for posting citatation links, say as footnotes which do not add to text limit (only a limited number of cites though, say ten max). /sci/ could use this too in order to encourage legit scientific discussion.
>>2545
That might be a valid concern if people didn't see a flag and start repeating stale memes like
>POO IN LOO
the drawbacks of flags FAR outweigh the benefits.
>>1842
this t.b.h.
FUCK OFF BRITIH REVISIONIST BASTARD HIGHEST NUMBER OF WIKIPEDIA EDITORS FUCK OFF WE DONT WANT TO BE INDOCTRINATED BY YOUR INDOCTRINATION KEEP FLAGS
>>2729
'no'
>>2203
sup bro?
>>2545
That idea is so against the point of anonymous discussion though. It destroys the idea of every poster being on equal footing except for their words alone.
Making a judgement call about what someones motive is for saying something before you even read what they've said just because of what country they're living in definitely has a big impact on conversations.
Not everyone in a particular country has the same biases.
>inb4 I don't assume they do
maybe you don't, but you can't seriously tell me there isn't a very large percentage of people on 4chan who do.
>>2203
Fucking finally, I've needed this for so long.
I don't even care if it's PK.
>>1842
I agree, flaggots stifle rational discourse
>>1842
Fucking this. Flags will ruin /his/.

Alright, there's your flags. Are we done now?
>>3035
I thought we're supposed to discuss history here, not become /int/ 2.0
>>3035
misread as Irish'Allah somehow
>>3035
Do we really want daily old war banter threads?
>>3082
Pole please the flags will act as quality control meaning I cansimply brush over posts from countries like Poland since I don't want ot read some pro russian nonsense taught by some polish farmer to you who has since been indoctrinated
>>2535
To prevent samefagging
>>3245
I'm not Pole, now what
If you want a shitfest full of banter and prejudice, go to /pol/ or /int/
>>1842
I agree. People will see my flag and just spout memes. No quality discussion can arise if we have flags, just some dank "bantz".

I just know I've witnessed you shit on a beach in a video online and I cant respect your opinion on anything
>>1842
I like flags it shows where people are from shedding light on their pov
>>4185
so does reddit. if it matters they can mention it otherwise fuck off with it
>>4185
For every time that it does that, it makes for a shitpost too
>>3740
Completely agree with India here. Flags will result in nothing but memery.
>>4185
This. I mean what the fuck would some yank know about the conflict in the congo fifty years ago?
