I'm interested in this, /pol/.
Recently, /qa/ has been plagued by an annoying anti-flag, anti-ID shitposter who has made and bumped threads demanding the removal of flags and IDs from this board. A lot of us suspect that this is a really butthurt samefag, but that's another story. His case is that removing them will encourage better discussion on /pol/.
What I'm here for is your opinion. Do you think this board should be ridden of flags or IDs, or should they be kept the way it is?

Flags: don't know
ID's: Definatly keep. Or else you'll just up end up with a clusterfuck of samefags and people responding to wrong posts.
I have noted a sharp decline in people screaming rare flag recently.
The meme is dead, now it's just used to identify Australian shitposters.
>>55558920
Everyone on /pol/ should have a tracking chip implanted in their brains.
Keep them. ID's should be put on every board.
>>55558920
What this guy said: >>55558983
Though desu I wouldn't be surprised if you were the annoying shitposter. Its in your blood m8
>>55559040
Actually, someone in a /qa/ thread checked the times of when the shitposter likely posted and deduced that his activity usually comes during Indian daytime.
There's more evidence pointing to him being Indian too since he admitted that he gets annoyed at how people focus on his flag and not the content of his post.
>>55558920
Personally I liked it more when we could pick our own flags, but I guess they are kinda useful to give you the political context for Anon's statements so keep them
>>55559086
>poo in the loo is trying to steer up shit
Can't say I'm surprised.
>>55555555
Dont mind me...
>>55559165
This is the clincher, too.
>>55559003
I support flags and IDs on every board. It stops samefagging as well as salty Canadians from pretending to be American and acting dumb to make us look bad.

>he admitted that he gets annoyed at how people focus on his flag and not the content of his post.
I hope he can appreciate the irony of this, I really do.
On a more serious note, I have noticed Indians do tend to be pretty bad shit posters, though, I guess thats calling the kettle black.

That's the best thing about the Indians, every time they come up with a defense for why their country totally isn't a literal shithole it makes them look even worse.
>>55558920
How would we know a thread that advocates an objective
discussion of whether or not flags and IDs should be
retained is actually a shitpost unless we had flags and IDs?
>>55559662
Yeah, it reminds me of how the whole "designated shitting streets" shit (pun somewhat intended) started.
>>55559003
>ID's should be put on every board.
Fucking kill yourself.
>>55560018
Aussie faggots are the reason we have flags
>>55560018
This, why would I need id's on /jp/
>>55558920
Flags and IDs should not only be kept but extended to every board on 4chan. The only people who are against these thingsites are shitposters and people from heavily mocked countries such as Australia, Sweden and Romania
>>55560018
Fuck off, your "people" are half the reason we needed flags and IDs in the first place.
>>55560334
*these things
>>55558920
Personally I like both flags and IDs, they add a nice touch to things. Without IDs we'd have samefags, and without flags we'd miss out on POO IN LOO bant
>>55558920
ill go one beyond and bet 5 bucks it was some ass blasted hillary shill that wishes xer job was easier, not having to change IP's to samefag shitpost on /pol/
>>55558920
Flags are great.
I seriously dont know why anyone wouldn't want them, well, maybe if you were indian or greek you would be upset because poo in loo/debnts.
Though its all in good fun, i mean its not like us Aussies dont get called out either sometimes.
Well if you dont want flags post on a board without them. In a politics forum it makes fucking sense.
>>55558920
/qa/ is where bitchy people go to bitch and trolls go to bitch in order to convince other /qa/ posters to bitch.
Anyone who is against id/flags is dodgy as fuck. No matter what bullshit argument they give.
>>55559996 almost legendary dubquad get
I feel for you anon
I'm for both, also there should be permanent IDs it would make it way easier to discover any shills from thread to thread.
>>55559996
Pretty much. At least if they shat everywhere you could assume that they just don't know that its wrong, but if they legitimately have designated shitting streets then they know fully well what they are doing but still don't stop
>>55559000
we have them already
they're called 'smart phones'
>>55558920
Pol without flags and id is just b with less porn
>>55560334
if you think aussies give a fuck about flags, you don't understand our sense of humour
i'll give you a pro tip, any time you think you're insulting us, you're not
Quick question for you all, do you hail from /int/ or are you straight up /pol/?
