>board about video games
>seems to hate discussion about games, inability to respect taste, and hates to be labeled a gamer, constantly contrarian
Just burn this board to the ground already it's useless.

>hates to be labeled a gamer
Look at the people who usually label themselves as a "gamer". I don't want to be associated with those people as well. So although I am technically a "gamer", I dislike most things "gamers" remind me of.
>>474449
Next you'll tell me you shouldn't be considered a person because you hate people.

So GBA is 15 years old now, and I make a thread on /vr/ asking if it's Retro yet, hoping to start a discussion on when a system should be considered Retro, and the thread gets deleted and I receive a warning.
That's kinda dumb, and I don't think threads discussing the rules of a board should be deleted like that.
>>474416
That's why they keep this board around.
>>474427
So people can bring up issues mods will never care about?

Should complaining about pepe be grounds for a ban? It's an equivalent to complaining about anime.
Ban all non-frogposters, imo.

I don't believe in the phrase "so bad it's good."
If you think it's good, you think it's good. Simple as that. Have more confidence about your opinions.
>>474271
I think the phrase was meant to describe 70s and 80s movie of a certain quality. In that context I think it's completely valid and accurate descriptor.
>>474284
Possibly, but those days are gone and gone with them are the people who had any right to use it.
>>474271
It describes a work that has all the hallmarks of being bad (for example: unexplainable anatomical mistakes, failure of perspective, inability to draw a smooth line, basically anything that you might consider derpy) and yet combines so many of these mistakes that it achieves a sort of unique attractive value.
In the interests of both transparency and lulz, would Hiro or mods be willing to share some of the DMCA takedown requests that 4chan has received from various lawyers over the years? Maybe they could post pics or links to .pdfs? Other longtime infamous sites even older than 4chan like rotten.com have done the same for years.
What do you think /qa/? What could possibly go wrong? Discuss.
(pic completely unrelated)
shamelessly bumping for answers
>>474269
>In the interests of both transparency
Neither Poole nor Hiroyuki have ever cared about transparency, in fact they have taken measures to obfuscate anything involving the sites they worked on. Why do you think anything would change now?
>>474405
I just thought it might be nice. Call it a token gesture on transparency on their part if you want. I honestly thought it would be more just amusing than anything else to see the kinds of things the lawyers were coming after.
Honest question: Can you think of a reason why we, the userbase, shouldn't know such things? I really can't, but I'm not claiming to be the sharpest knife in the drawer either.
/a/'s shitposting janitor is at it again. He deletes all posts vaguely mentioning him or his favorite character as soon as they appear but he leaves the rest of the shitposts up despite the reports.
Deleted because they were talking about "Ben":
>>>/a/138952748
>>>/a/138952764
>>>/a/138952800
>>>/a/138952913
>>>/a/138952920
Still up:
>>>/a/138947297
>>>/a/138947389
>>>/a/138947436
>>>/a/138948221
>>>/a/138948237
>>>/a/138949171
>>>/a/138950007
And many more worse shitposts are still up, as long as they don't mention this guy.
When will someone that isn't incompetent take his place?
>pre-requisites for a janitor include beeing a NEET
>competent
>>474198
A NEET should be able to delete all shit, referencing him or not. But this faggot is too blinded by his bias to do that.
>>474195
So... uh... Are you mad that the janitor isn't deleting all of the shitposts or are you mad that the mod is trying to stop you from doxxing him?
So is 4chan pretty much an exclusive platform for /pol/ now? They shitpost on essentially every other board, no matter how off-topic it is, and said posts are rarely if ever deleted.
>>>/vr/3082571
And the irony of trying to proselytize their politics on /vr/ of all places. These so-called "SJW" groups they have such a hard-on for didn't even exist in our time, but /pol/ nonetheless keeps trying to ascribe all instances of censorship to them, completely ignoring all the conservative groups that were trying to ban video games for decades.
>>474086
Who is "They" ? What is it that makes people think every racist on 4chan is automatically from /pol/?
>>474086
>>>/vr/3082571(Dead)
Well, looks like someone finally deleted it. But the waifu and e-celeb threads are still up.
Why is /vr/ so shit now?
>>474086
>These so-called "SJW" groups they have such a hard-on for didn't even exist in our time
They also don't exist in our time. People just gave the same traditional bhevaior a new name. Remember Poison ? It is ok to beat up a tranny but not a female in capcoms eyes back then. That and the still practiced name changes were as retared as modern capcoms decisions.
I was banned from /pol/ for posting a GET picture in a thread about Americans shitting their pants in walmart.
I am not complaining - I have broken the rules and deserve this ban.
But I did not do it with bad intentions, you see, /pol/ is getting worse by the day, and when such a shitty was thread is made and not deleted, I couldn't hold myself and decided to implement some vigilance justice and derail it.
Every single day threads are made, the same god damn threads, day after day, every day. What is that if not spam?
Every single day a poster decides to post something, that goes against the boards popular opinions, without arguments, only to enrage the board. What would you call that, if not baiting?
We have banned/spam filtered the use of the phrase "go back to r e d d i t", didn't we? Then why you can go around spewing memes like "drumpf" endlessly just to annoy and derail?
Why?
Let's review the forbidden formulas from the sticky:
>Red pill me on X. (with no extra content or input of your own)
>Are X white?
>Is X degeneracy?
>How come X girls love Y guys so much?
>If X is true, then how come Y? Checkmate Z.
How is this different than
>Trump stumped
>/pol/ btfo
>a political comic without text
>/pol/ on suicide watch
I thought it was a containment board. Don't you want us contained?
Why won't /pol/ be moderated properly? What needs to be done?
I hope this is OK to post here. This is a question and a plea.
The pant shitting thread was of course not deleted, and went down to the archive peacefully.
>>474077
Two points I forgot:
1)I'm not talking about well thought out arguments supporting an ideology I dislike. Those are obviously perfectly fine, good even.
2)This thread is NOT for political discussion.
>>474077
Nope, just like all other boards, you have to self moderate it, this is why I like /pol/ they stick with their ideology (e.g sharing common view of hating niggers but compromises enough to respect certain black persons). /pol/ current moderation is fine as it is even with shitpost threads, it's a double-edged sword. stand and fight your own battles, you got to outjew the jews, stop acting like a libtard who's whining about safe space, like G.E Trump said "We're not babies.".
If politically incorrect gets "moderated" will it still be "politically incorrect", one way or another, mods political view may affect the moderation, it could results on removal of trump threads or /pol/ is right again, it's essentially the same only in different aspect of circlejerking.
>>474083
But what is self moderation if not derailing shit threads with GET images? If it's self moderation let it be, but not the inbetween it is now.
We also cannot tell people to sage or report, and newfags never read the rules. How do you suppose we self moderate when we can barely call out illegal content?
Not replying does not work if as little as two outsiders decide to bump each others threads.
>/a/ mod moves thread from /a/ to /jp/
>/jp/ mod removes the thread within 5 minutes
Why is this so fucking funny?
>>474074
Double insult.
>>474074
/jp/ has pretty good mods. I get small posts and am not even mad.
>>474074
Thread moving is pretty shit and mods shouldn't be allowed to do it, especially since /a/'s idiot mods seem to be allergic to banning people and just move threads instead. This only started happening after /trash/ was created, and yet they never move threads to /trash/. If the thread breaks the rules, just delete it. If it's obviously a mispost, don't punish them for it, but still delete it.
Also that image is blowing my mind. The chest is closed, yet she's peeking out of it? How? Is that Sachiko? What is this from?
Have anyone of you noticed that after the reddit boogeyman rule was added, people started to tell people to search things on reddit and suggesting subreddits to anons? And it wasnt even not allowed before, they started doing it after it became illegal to tell them to fuck off.
You're right, people will do anything to try and derail a thread or cast aspersions upon the OP so that no discussion can pass.
They've been doing it for years, but "the system" has evolved to the point where people only read the first reply. The Catalog doesn't help, in this regard.
>>473986
No, in fact I noticed exactly the opposite in 2008 and 2009 when nobody cared if you went on reddit or not. It was just another version of digg back then and subreddits hasn't been invented yet. /b/ used to have their own downvote brigades.
>Have anyone of you noticed that after the reddit boogeyman rule was added
There's no "reddit boogeyman" rule on the rules page, therefore it's not a rule
>>474073
Threads get derailed because apparently real redditors get triggered and go apeshit, saying things like "boogeyman" and "buzzword". People used to tell cancer to go back to ebaums/gaia in 2007 and threads didn't get "derailed".
You are using a "boogeyman" right now and you don't even know it, very funny.

I hate that too. It happens on every website with a spoiler tag, quite possibly BECAUSE of 4chan doing it. Nobody uses them for spoilers. They use them to post something "secret." As if that will change anything.
>>474008
Using spoiler tags inappropriately is actually bannable, but it's very rarely forced.
