I'm really glad the mods can see that the same person is constantly bumping these threads. Now if only they'd consider it spam.
>>
>>340058
If the mods can "see" maybe they will take action and remove flags and IDs.

The only "shitposting" in these threads is from redditors and /int/shits advocating for flags and IDs.

4chan isn't the place to anonymously discuss politics.

>4chan isn't the place to anonymously discuss politics
But why? You can discuss so many other things anonymously here, but not politics. Why even have a politics board in that case? I simply can't wrap my head around this shit.

You can't discuss things anonymously here, not without the freedom to hide behind 7 proxies.

Regarding the apearance of anonymity, 4chan staff don't really care about those pesky principles that drew anons here in the first place.

Given IDs and flags, there really isn't much of a reason to have a politics board. On the other hand, there's even less reason to have IDs and flags in the first place.

As for "why", the reason is that 4chan has devolved into a hyper-paranoid, heavily moderated forum that either doesn't trust its users.

It's just a sign of the times. Nothing is sacred anymore, not even the pretense of pseudo-anonymity. Welcome to 4chan circa peak cynicism.

Ok flags should be removed but not thread I.D's, it's way too fucking easy to just reply to yourself with some retarded post and bait out 30+ comments. At least with ID's you're forced to switch between ip's
>>
>>341638
Then explain why other boards are fine without IDs? /his/ has some good discussion whenever mods don't delete every thread. Same with /sci/ and /x/. /pol/ isn't special.

why must /pol/ be kill? Remove flags, remove IDs. Save /pol/.

Only the case on /pol/. I've discussed politics on boards without ID's.

Explain why /b/ is so shit without flags and IDs.

It's /b/.

That's unusual, because /b/ used to have IDs and it was just as shit.

Strange how things work like that.

Because /pol/ sucks dicks and can't be trusted

Oh boo hoo. Just because you can't handle uncensored free expression doesn't mean we need to punish the board with vile and disgusting forced IDs/flags. You can just head on back to reddit.
>>
>>339212

>no freedom to post without being saddled with a fucking ID

All you want to do is shitpost and ruin threads, but thats not a legit reason to get rid of ID's.
>>
>>341812
>Just because you can't handle uncensored free expression

Ex-fucking-cuse me?
YOU spammed these threads daily because YOU couldn't handle being called Rajesh and made fun of for shitting in the street. That's their uncensored free expression and YOU should head on back to Reddit if you can't handle it.

/pol/ was better before IDs and flags. Get over it.

all boards should have flags

>>341780

/pol/ and /b/ are not comparable in that way at all. I'm not sure how people can be so disingenuous about /b/.

/b/ shit because it is /b/.
>>
>>342105
>/b/ shit because it is /b/
And /pol/ is shit because of IDs and flags.

We must remove IDs and flags. Why is Hiro not taking action??

>no freedom to post without being saddled with a fucking ID

This is basically admitting you want to shitpost.
>>
>>344476
no
>>
>>340554
If you like reddit so much why not fuck back off to there?
>>
>>344476
No, admitting to liking shitposting is what people who are pro-IDs and pro-flags are doing. IDs and flags have no place on 4chan.

Yo, OP, if you could use a bit more of a level of discourse in your posts, we might be able to take you more seriously. You'll be amazed at how much more credit your post has when...

*WHOO WHOOOOOO*

Oh, what's that. Well shut my mouth and call me Shirley, it's the Train of Thought! It's come back to me! It's telling me something, hang on, wait, yes, yes I remember! You can't use the /pol/ sticky because you dismissed that in an argument. It's important never to dismiss and use the same evidence in one argument! True dat. Correct. How about that. Fact. Truth bruh.

Rajesh Koothrapouli demands discussion but ignore logical fallacies, both of which are found in /pol/'s sticky. You can piss him off by asking him to provide discourse in his posts and then sarcastically remembering that he isn't allowed to do that because it's in the /pol/ sticky and he dismissed it. It's a good way to annoy him until based mods delete his threads and ban him for persistent violations of Global Rule 10 :^)
