if moderated properly this could be good
if not it'll just be pol 2.0
>>343520
Oh great, /pol/3.0
Can we please not? We already have a news board, we don't need a new board just for the special snowflakes that refuse to leave their safe spaces.
I don't really see what purpose this will serve as all the boards already act as news aggregators for their topics.
We're not reddit, we don't need a board for literally everything.
I dream of a 4chan where the admin isn't a huge faggot.
Oh boy, another board were every fourth post will be "gb2/pol/" In response to that persons feelings getting hurt.
>>343539
I think its going to be intended for stuff like the paris attack and other assorted news stories from around the world, which is retarded because we already have a board like that, it's called /pol/
>>343549
Exactly.
/pol/ is more than happy to act as the happening zone. I'd understand if /pol/ wasn't happy, but we're not.
I've actually never seen anyone on /pol/ ever complain about this.
So Hiro adds a board no one asked for, and yet he still won't increase moderation on /v/
>create a new board
>don't make a announcement about it
>>343520
Hiro pls stop
/new/ is why we have /pol/ today
News4VIP?
Of course I know it won't happen. ;_;
oh boy another epic subreddit that isn't needed
Holy fuckpuddles. So basically you just make a shitty thread on qa bitching about something and whammo, le new board appears?
Hiroshimoot Nagasaki is cray.
teste
There is no point. It will either die or become /new/ 3.0
And /pol/ is already happy to host breaking news
>>343520
Somebody stop the madman already
/pol/ was already our token happening board we don't need this shit
>>343573
Only a matter of time before we get a lolikon board!
>>343520
Please somebody made the mad jap cunt stop. This is fucking crazy.
Unnecessary.
This is a fucking stupid idea.
...but why?
What a fucking dumbass idea
It might work as a textboard, but this is just stupid.
>>343520
>mfw Lebensraum
So is it gone again?
WTF is going on
I guess you can take 8gag /n/ as a reference point for what /news/ might look like. Like it or not, most 8gaggers are also 4chan /pol/acks.
>48 hours
That's kind of a chore to enforce and also can hamstring the board, I mean that would mean that we can't even talk about the Paris attacks tomorrow?
Make it a week imo.
Or just be lax on it as news chains itself along, i.e now people are discussing how will France respond to the attacks, and as long as there is a link to a news page then that development would keep the overall beat of news on that subject going.
>>343612
>Like it or not, most 8gaggers are also 4chan /pol/acks.
Pfft.
You clearly aren't away that both dislike each other. I'm part of an IRC channel that has both and they constantly shit-fling with each other. Not only does it happen in the IRC but on the threads that get passed around.
>kekchan
>cripplekike
>>343549
Not anymore, fuck /pol/ idiots. /new/ should be able to keep shit for weeks imo just to prevent topics from falling into /pol/.
>>343612
Pretty much this. 8Gag's /pol/ is still the same despite a /news/ board
>>343582
can't wait
No one wants /news/ Hiro. Do not piss off /pol/
>>343626
>imo just to prevent topics from falling into /pol/.
And how are you going to do that fucko? They'll still get posted on /pol/. This board is redundant. This board shouldn't exists just because you don't like /pol/.
>>343626
Fuck you and fuck your safe space.
>>343637
I think /news/ is going to be intended for current events without /pol/ shitposting i.e. jews, niggers, white nationalism, etc of course /pol/ can still be used for current events.
>>343634
>No one wants /news/ Hiro. Do not piss off /pol/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bHFXAtXzlY
>>343637
If mods actually enforce using /new/ they should delete current news events from /pol/.
/pol/ is for fucking politics by its name. It shouldn't be allowed to just discuss everything under the sun, which really just makes it some alternative /b/.
>>343626
>imo
hi leddit
lmao "hi r-eddit" is considered spam now
>>343641
Literally pointless as fuck
>/pol/ slowly being killed bit by bit
Thank you based Hiro
>>343644
That's such a retarded distinction. /news/ is completely and utterly unnecessary.
>>343641
Yeah good luck discussing ISIS/Syria, refugee-crisis, paris-shooting or Trump without "shitposting"
>>343648
feel free to go back to reddit anytime now :)
>>343634
How's ID's and flags treating you c.ucklord?
>>343646
I think so, but people from boards who's feelings get hurt like /co/, /lit/ or /mu/ would like this.
>>343654
>trying this hard to fit in
back to >>>/r/eddit you go
>>343656
No, no they don't.
It's a pointless shitty board.
Why are people mad that /news/ is a "pointless" board? Just don't use it.
>>343660
>getting triggered by /pol/
maybe it is you who needs to go back
>>343666
>Why are people mad that /news/ is a "pointless" board?
It's just /pol/tards mad that once again they're getting c-ucked.
>AdBlock users: The default ruleset blocks images on /news/. You must disable AdBlock to browse /news/ properly.
>[Limits]
>[Limits]
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!??!?
>>343663
It's not like anyone can make them collectively leave, so might as well isolate them instead. I guess /pol/ is officially a containment board.
>>343667
>visits reddit and has reddit screencaps
>tells others to go back to reddit
shill please
Hiro, reviving /news/ is a stupid idea, please don't do it.
>>343520
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
HE ACTUALLY DID IT
>>343672
>IF WE ISOLATE THEM THEY WILL GO AWAY
Every thread about /pol/ on /qa/ since Hiro opened his mouth
>>343671
it means people who block ads won't be able to either post with images.
its the beginning of the end
I don't mind if there's some /pol/ influence on it. I just don't want it to go full-/pol/.
/pol/, if you're reading this, please don't go full-/pol/.
>>343684
No, I meant what the [Limits] meant.
>>343684
Good. People that don't support 4chan should GTFO
There is a reason why every major news site has it's comment section disabled, moved to facebook or heavily moderated.
>>343685
It won't be /pol/ going /pol/, it will be trolls.
This board will be a bloody breeding ground for people who want to bait others with /pol/esk posts.
Isn't current news already "discussed" on /pol/?
>>343715
Current news are already discussed all over 4chan really.
>>343654
Nice meme. Needs a pepe tho.
literally nobody asked for this
>>343715
Depends how major it is. The paris thing was talked about on /v/ and /tv/.
>>343728
I asked for this.
Isn't EVERY fucking board on 4chan already a news board depending on what the interest of the board is and how the story fits into their interest?
Why post on some general board for shit that just happened when there are already a bunch of other boards that would be in a closer relationship to whatever the interest of the story is?
At this rate hiro might add dumb shit like /jew/ and /cpsht/
>>343753
and /vnews/, /anews/, /softgif/, /hardgif/, /cape/, /toon/, /fetish/ etc
He really doesn't know what he is doing.
Bad idea. We have a board for news, it is /pol/. /news/ will be filled with politics just like the last two times it was created and indistinguishable from /pol/. This only means people who want to discuss news will have to browse two boards. DON'T SPLIT /pol/.
>>343752
Well, there's local news relevant to just a board, and international news relevant to people overall, from wherever you go to get it. I would guess it's for whatever is on CNN, Reuters, Fox etc.
But now that you mention it, it is kind of a tricky question. I would guess that if your source link for a /news/ thread goes to some little shitty site almost no one actually uses for news, then it doesn't count.
I just wondered, what would happen on the board on slow news days?
>>343760
/news/ is blue. That means all the /pol/ shittalking probably won't be allowed there.
>>343764
Just like how it wasn't allowed on /his/?
>>343764
There is a big difference between something not being allowed on a board and something not being on a board.
>>343758
Don't forget /ag/, /l/, /radio/, /waifu/, /mango/, /ln/, and the list goes on.
>>343764
So you want a 4chan board, without the 4chan?
>>343771
/aws/ and /abs/ here we come!
>>343762
I'm foresee generals for people in specific locations.

>anime for fit people
That's not a thing in anime or /a/.
>>343775
This, /fit/ always ruins anitore threads.
>>343780
It is actually quite common.
A good number of the non-anime boards have things like /ak/ (/k/ & /a/) and the like.
Hiro needs to make a /reddit/ board.
ITT pessimists, skeptics, and contrarians.
My only worry is that click bait merchants will flood the board with outrage spam for adsense money.
Who even asked for this? Someone take away this man's board creating powers before 4chan becomes hopelessly balkanized.
>>343795
Look in the /qa/ catalog. There are multiple threads asking for this.
>You know what, let's make a board for current news and call it /n/
>Well, it's shit now, let's delete it.
>You know what, let's make a board for international topics and call it /int/
>And let's make a board for current events and politics and call it /pol/
>Well, they are shit now, let's forget about them.
>You know what, let's make a board for current news and call it /news/
Don't kid yourself guys. This shit may technically fit into /pol/, but we all know /pol/ is more about racist/misogynist/homophobic shitposting and arguing than actually caring about news.
You can't go into /pol/ and expect people discussing news, all they'll be posting about will be the skin color/gender/sexuality of the people the news is about. Disregarding completely the news as a source of information rather than as a source of shitposting.
Basically, /pol/ is not about news, it's about sharing your hatred for the idiots causing the news to happen, while the news itself is irrelevant
For this, I think /news/ might be a nice addition. I've been wanting a place to read the news that isn't a complete shitstorm
I would delete /pol/ replace it with a nsfw /news/ if it were up to me.
Most of /pol/'s shitty threads are when it deviates from current events into meme threads.
>>343798
All I see is one frog thread and the rest is /pol/ asking for IDs and flags to be removed
>>343800
>I've been wanting a place to read the news that isn't a complete shitstorm
You'll have to keep on waiting then.
Why split /pol/
/v/ is the board that needs splitting up, its too big and just a mess of shitposting
>>343691
because butthurt faggots like you don't like being offended
>hiro still ignores /v/'s cries
kek. It's like he doesn't care about /v/ at all.
>>343800
Don't kid yourself. We all know /news/ will more about racist/misogynist/homophobic shitposting and arguing than actually caring about news. Just like last time. And the time before.
>>343808
>I have the right to spout racism and conspiracy theories on private websites.
No.
>>343795
Pic related. 4chan, mid-2016.
>>343800
Gee, its not like /pol/ has been asking for measures to try and improve itself or anything, right?
Also fuck off newfag if you seriously think this will work, can this post been any more tumblr?
>>343812
>I have the right to a safe space
No.

But you have the intrinsic right to ignore it.

Has anyone alerted the waifufags and cunnyposters on /tv/?
As I see it, this will be a less edgy version of /pol/ with more concentration on actual news since new threads have to be made with a url link to the news source
/pol/ is a shit containment board hated by everyone but those who dwell there, much like /mlp/. I'm pretty damn happy to have a news source that isn't fucking /b/ on steroids
>>343832
You keep saying /pol/ will magically go away in threads like these.
I dont think you understand magic anon.
>>343831
It's all over now.
What happens if Hiro deletes /pol/?
>>343832
You post-2010 fags don't ever learn.
This was tried before. It failed.
>>343832
>url link to the news source
How about news that hasn't been reported by mayor news sites?
What's stopping someone making a false news link?
>>343762
There is no such thing as a slow news day. You only get that with mediocre local TV channels and such, there is always some interesting/important piece of international news going on.
>>343822
>its going to be /pol/+/tv/
>>343838
>What's stopping someone making a false news link?
The common sense of the other posters on the board.
someone tell this guy to stop making new boards.
>>343851
Is this the end of 4chan...?
>>343834
I'm not saying /pol/ will go away, I'm just saying we have a place to discuss news where bigotry isn't more encouraged than talking about the actual fucking news.
I'm not an extremely tolerant person myself, but I don't want every fucking discussion I read to be about how much I fucking hate someone of a certain ethnicity/gender/sexuality
>>343850
>The common sense of the other posters on the board.
Sure, that's why tards like yourself cry for IDs and flags on every board.
>>343851
I doubt he's going to. 2ch has over 600 boards or something but it's an anonymous text board.
>>343851
why? we have needed new boards for years.
>>343822
That's a fox you dumb dried-up cunt.
>>343854
/pol/ will still allow news of course that's not gonna change. /news/ is just a more SFW news board, more fair and balanced
>>343854
>I'm not saying /pol/ will go away, I'm just saying we have a place to discuss news where bigotry isn't more encouraged than talking about the actual fucking news.

I foresee a constant endless bitchfest about what constitutes a legitimate news source. Are tabloid sites like the dailymail news? Are "alternative right" sites like infowars news? Is someone's blog or a fucking tweet news?
>>343863
>more fair and balanced

>>343851

ftfy. 4chan is a weeb website fyi.
>>343863
Well said. It's really very simple.
* /pol/ is for politically incorrect NSFW discussions
* /news/ is for politically correct SFW discussions
I don't know why this is hard for some people in here.

I'm dying, comedy gold
That's pretty awesome actually. It will be nice to be able to discuss news events without it degenerating into /pol/ memeposting.
>>343538
That's hilarious given /pol/ is just a safespace for edgy nazi teenagers. I have actually read a thread where /pol/tards referred to themselves as oppressed minorities because they can't goose stomp and yell at blacks in public.

Who are you quoting?
>>343863
And that's exactly what I want. I want a news board where people actually discuss the fucking news, somewhere I wouldn't have to be dwelling with people that talk like old 50's cartoon villains
What is defined as "news" any way?
Does a link to a recent tweet count?
>>343853
At this rate, yes.
>>343856
But this isn't 2ch. He needs to understand we don't want this.
>>343858
No, not really. If anything we've needed to remove a few boards and to clarify board topics. For instance instead of creating /his/, /lit/ should have been converted into a humanities board, which it already functioned as unofficially before /his/.
Fragmentation just spreads communities thin and wreaks havoc on relationships between intraboard communities. It's basically balkanization.
>>343885
>4CHAN SHOULD CATER TO ME
No.
HIRO WE'RE DYING FOR /FILM/
Hiroyuki clearly didn't think this through.
Will 4chan.org/news redirect to https://www.4chan.org/news or >>>/news/ ?
Rename it to /new/ you stupid gook.
>>343885
>somewhere I wouldn't have to be dwelling with people that talk like old 50's cartoon villains
And it has to be in 4chan?
>>343882
It's a poorly-drawn mspaint comic someone made several years ago. You see it posted around occasionally.
>>343895
Yes. Unlike you redditers I don't do other websites.
>>343873
/pol/ being titled "politically incorrect" is tongue-in-cheek. Any kind of political discussion is available here.
"Politically incorrect" discussion naturally results from a community in which its members are anonymous and have free expression. A "politically correct" board would necessarily have to strictly restrict thought to a particular POV. It has no place on 4chan.
Why hasn't anybody posted anything yet? I would but I'm kind of nervous being the first post ever on a board.
>>343894
He's still testing the board. If he's not a retard he will notice it before opening the board.
>>343885
reddit.com
>>343894
No, because the links to the boards starts with the word boards.
>>343889
>Fragmentation just spreads communities thin and wreaks havoc on relationships between intraboard communities. It's basically balkanization.
I don't think /news/ will be hurting for traffic, nor do I think its creation is going to cause other boards to go dead. There are many boards that are overcrowded and filled with combative differing populations right now and like a growing family, we need a house with more space.
>>343904
I know you guys have had good experiences and all with that place, but please, just go back there if you like it so much.
>>343885
^
This entirely. You can't have a real thread on /pol/. If you make a thread its one of two things, people will sit around circlejerking their trademarked meme opinions, or they spend the entire thread attacking the one person who trys to look at something for a different viewpoint. Its very predictable and rather ridiculous even.
In reality /pol/ is a safespace for stormweenies. They're behaviour is more in line with radical SJW's then the rational, reasonable people they believe themselves to be. Literally just two sides of the same coin. The fact they are so blind to it is hilarious.
>>343910
epic response m8
you're literally asking for a place to post where content you don't want to see is banned, and that place is reddit
4chan is a niche place, fuck off if you don't like it
>>343911
>you can't deal with someone who you don't like having an opinion
Wow you summed up /pol/ users beautifully.
>>343911
Well as a matter of fact, it seems I will be getting a place to discuss news where /pol/ retards aren't allowed.
Fucking sucks for you, maybe you're the one that should fuck off back to to reddit since you're so fucking fond of cancerous shitfests that like to spread out and shit up the rest of 4chan
>>343919
By your logic, every board should be /b/.
>>343906
At the very least, /news/ would split /pol/, and depending on how it's approached, might take away content from other boards as well. Regardless, this idea of making new boards bi-weekly isn't healthy for 4chan in the long-run and needs to be nipped in the bud now.
>There are many boards that are overcrowded and filled with combative differing populations
Not one board is overcrowded right now. Not even /v/ is overcrowded. And I don't know what these "combative populations" you speak of. What I do see is you sometimes have a few users of a board who believe their dislike of a particular topic on a board where that topic belongs is enough to justify the creation of a new board. People shouldn't feel as though they should be able to throw tantrums and have a new board be created as a result. Again, not health for 4chan.
>>343919
Actually reddit allows people to create their own sub-reddit's that can have whatever content they like. There are lots of /pol/tier subreddits which aren't banned or removed and don't violate the TOS.
Your argument is invalid.
Someone tell me how different would be a thread on a SFW /news/ for the Democratic Candidate Debate being broadcasted right now, in comparison with the current thread on /pol/:
>>>/pol/55755622
>>343923
Thank you for proving my point.
>>343900
Most people that browse 4chan today don't understand that. Everyone wants to have an identity so they can be a special snowflake defeating the purpose of being an anonymous imageboard with stuff like IDs, flags, etc. It's trolls who've had a hand in most of it I suppose but it's just something that comes with being anonymous.
>>343929
Slightly different memes with a mix of /int/ and /pol/.
Keep in mind the board is in a state of flux from the Paris shooting so it is going to be extra shitposty.
What's next?
>>>/phi/ ?
>>343937
Stop giving him ideas.
>>343937
What's a /phi/ ?
>>343915
Have you ever been to /int/?
No, of course you haven't, you barely go outside your own homeboard and /qa/
>>343929
>/pol/ isn't shitposting and memes they said
>/pol/ has real discussion they said
>>343927
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
I think if a board like /tv/ or /pol/ is split it's for the better. But I also think you are right that there are other boards that absolutely fit your descriptions and would be wrecked by a split. /x/ comes to mind.
All in all, it's Hiro's site and he can do what he wants. All you can do is dissent if you don't like it. I respect your opinion but I don't have a problem with the changes and personally hope he does more along the same lines, to a point. I'm glad people like you are speaking up, however, to keep things in check.
HIRO MAKE /2HU/ BECAUSE /JP/ IS SHIT HIRO PLEASE
>>343930
I want a place where people fucking talk about news instead of shitposting memes and generally act like /b/tards
That's really all that /pol/ is to me, it's /b/2.0 but without any decent porn. It's like fucking [s4s]. I can not fucking take that place or anyone who goes there seriously, it's all a bunch of memespouting morons being contained in one place so the rest of us don't have to fucking see them anymore.
>>343940
You know why those exists? Because they fly under the radar.
You try and have an opinion on a major sub-reddit that isn't shared by the rest of a sub-reddit? Downvoted and banned.
>>343941
What are you even talking about? We aren't talking about /int/ you drooling retard. Did you reply to the wrong post or something?
>>343936
So it will be the same.
Why would someone would want to discuss current news "without /pol/" when in reality the same news will be discussed in the same way as /pol/ in a new board?
>>343905
People usually get to the area of the site they want by typing 4chan.org/[thing] . This means that 4chan.org/news can only redirect to either boards.4chan.org/news/ or https://www.4chan.org/news , not both, which will be annoying for people trying to get to the other page.
>>343915
People giving "meme opinions" happens on every board. You sound like you simply want a board where the meme opinions you like will be expressed.
/pol/ is the opposite of a safe space. A "safe space" is a place where people disallow expressions they disagree with. Many of the users on /pol/ might be completely wrong in their beliefs but they *love* debating them. They don't try to get people banned for their opinions. They don't try to make you leave /pol/. They argue with you instead.
>>343688
>People that want to browse 4chan without getting a virus should GTFO.
FTFY.
>>343949
You're going to always have shitposting memes and people acting like retards, you're browsing 4chan after all. Expecting anything different from that is very wishful thinking. No matter what board you create it's going to have those things.
>>343951
No, but this is what you want.
A board that has news but less /pol/? That's literally /int/.
You clearly don't bother with exploring the rest of the site.
>>343948
Disregard that, make /kan/ so boatfaggots can stop shitting on /jp/ and /v/.
>>343950
They hardly fly under the radar. They are all well known and to my knowledge the worst the site admins did was stop their threads from being on the front page.
Also you won't be banned for posting opinions on main reddits. You can get banned on sub-reddits, but those are made by users so who cares?
>>343949
Again, so you want a 4chan board, without the 4chan?
So literally reddit.
>>343923
>le "if you disagree with both us and the opposition it means that you're siding with the opposition" meme
funnily enough, SJWs use the exact same logic
>>343952
Because people that don't like /pol/ which is a massive portion of 4chan has no place to go to discuss news without having to deal with fucking /pol/ users.
Don't act like /pol/ isa all of 4chan, it's a special breed of retard much like bronies.
>>343960
But it's not always as bad as it is on /pol/ and /b/. Other boards aren't all like that.
>>343966
boatfaggots go to >>>/trash/
>>343975
>Because people that don't like /pol/ which is a massive portion of 4chan

>>343975
THIS
>>343978
So why don't you go to 420chan then?
>>343960
Well at least the shitposting and memes will have some actual fucking variety rather than all being about racism and sexism
>>343948
/jp/ IS /2hu/, wro
>>343972
I even pointed that out in my post he replied too.
Clearly he doesn't see the irony in his actions.
>>343520
>links within 48 hours
>implying current events isn't based on history
I've learned more shit about history from /pol/ (not talking about da joos) than I have from /his/, and have had x100 more laughs
>>343949
You're really just asking for a place that isn't 4chan. No board on here is for strictly serious discussion. This is a place to hang out and talk about your interests and masturbate. There are subreddits I'm sure for the strictly serious discussion you desire.
>>343979
>Other boards aren't all like that.
Of course not.
I've never seen /v/ acting like this on a E3. Or /sp/ spouting shit during the World cup or a Super Bowl. Or /co/, /tv/ /mlp/ repeating the same thing when a new episode of something airs
>>343968
/pol/ is not all of 4chan, much like /mlp/ is not all of 4chan. It's a special breed of retards contained in one place because they can't be allowed to roam freely on the other boards
>>343988
I do, frequently.
You are aware people can browse multiple sites right? Like you don't have to apply your hichschool clique attitude to websites.
>>343994
It's not like you can't browse /pol/ anymore due to the reborn of /news/.
People said /pol/ was going to die thanks to /his/ and nothing happened.
>>343996
You listed 5 out of 60+ boards.
>>343981
How about you go to just about any fucking board that isn't /pol/ and ask them what their general opinion on /pol/ users are. I guarantee the majority of it will not be positive.
>/pol/shitters calling anything else a safe space or hugbox

>>343996
>he browses /mlp/
>>343978
>http://boards.420chan.org/n/
This board? I see people complaining about SJWs and who and who isn't "white." Sounds like /pol/ already. I'm sure it's probably not as hectic as /pol/, but that has more to do with it not being anywhere near the size and speed if anything.
I love this idea, we can actually talk about news without endless stormfag shitposting and "the jews did it" mixed in with blatant racism. Thank you Hiro.
>>344005
My point stands. When something is broadcasted live, the majority of 4chan will act in the same way.
/a/ would also be like that if they knew japanese.
>>343975
>has no place to go to discuss news without having to deal with fucking /pol/ users.
Literally any other website.
>>343995
Stop fucking talking about fucking reddit like it's a fucking good thing. I have never set a goddamn foot in there since 2007 and I never will. If you think so goddamn highly of that fucking place I suggest you fucking go and have yourself a grand ol' time there your fucking self kiddo
>>344007
How is /pol/ a hugbox when you are permitted to express any opinion you want there?
>>344006
> I guarantee the majority of it will not be positive.
You're right. The majority simply wouldn't care.
>>343946
>rolling sticky
Neat. When did this happen?
>>344013
So you cherry picked a few posts and took them out of context.
You are aware that weakens your stance, not strengthen it.
The majority of posters will call out /pol/shit, and there is actual discussion there. Excessive /pol/ shitposting gets you banned quickly.
>>344017
If you're a 4chan deserter then you're the cancer killing this place
>>343814
>Gee, its not like /pol/ has been asking for measures to try and improve itself or anything, right?
Right.
So let me guess. A new board is created, and /pol/ shitting won't be allowed there. Because of this, /pol/ will get butthurt and accuse it of being a "redddit hugbox". When they fail to turn it into /pol/ 2.0, they will cry and ask for it to be deleted because it's a "bad idea".
>>344006
You can apply that logic to any fucking board on this site.
>>344020
Wow you are taking this so personally dude. I'm not saying /pol/ is the wrong clique. I don't even want it gone, I just want a real news board without the shitty redpill meme nonsense, the constant kek and shill responses, and the constant hur dur degeneracy garbage.
Also its spelt clique, I even had it in my post and you still fucked that up.
>>344006
this is true, and /pol/ makes it worse by shitposting their propaganda on other boards.
>>344026
>fag complaining about politically incorrect opinions accusing anyone else of being cancer
lel
>>344020
Every fucking time comical levels of idiotic racism is brought up on other boards people always lament the obvious cancerous /pol/ crossboarders
>>344030
If you read the thread the /pol/tards are doing exactly that.
Its funny they are so triggered by this. Whenever they aren't allowed to smear their shit somewhere they throw a temper tantrum.
>>344030
/pol/ isn't the one asking for mods to protect them from opinions they don't like
>>344004
the thing that grinds my gears is that /his/ has to the greater extent ended up being a "no fun/serious business" board.
I'm afraid /news/ will end up this way also. That said, how does anyone actually expect it to become a serious, go-to board for anons if you can't have any fun there?
>>344024
What is "/pol/ shitpositng"?
>>344038
>They ask for IDs and flags to be remove, everyone tells them no.
Right.
Why don't we just delete /pol/ and permaban everyone who's posted there so we won't have to worry about this shit anymore.
>>344044
Everything I don't like and triggers me
>>344043
I'm sure you can have fun without stupid /pol/ memes.
>>344044
Any opinion to the right of communism.
>>344044
Anything political that someone doesn't like.
>>344040
>Whenever they aren't allowed to smear their shit somewhere they throw a temper tantrum.
Nobody has said that /news/ will be a "/pol/-free zone"
It will be a SFW news board, but you can say nigger in evey board across 4chan
>>344042
Yeah, they're asking for permission to turn it into a shithole.
>>344034
I don't give a shit about having politically incorrect opinions, I have plenty of those as well.
It's having meme level of politically incorrect shitposting all over the fucking board, like a fucking lovechild of /b/ and [s4s], that I don't want any fucking part of
>>344032
literally not though
Yeah, you know what? So do I.
I hate how /pol/ has turned out, /pol/ needs to be fixed. I have no disagreement with you. I hate the flag and 'banter' crap.
>another non-hobbyist board
JUST
>>344056
>but you can say nigger in evey board across 4chan
....and if the mods see it you get banned.
>>344058
then why are you on 4chan
>>>/news/1
Checked
>>344039
You know why? People are stupid and they fall for easy bait of a troll who knows he'll get replies.
>>344064
I'm not the same guy, but maybe it's because 4chan isn't just /b/ and [s4s].
>>344050
This really. /pol/ is just one massive fucking memefest. It's not so much discussion as it is fucking shitposting of memes
>>344059
Literally the only people who don't like flags are indians and mexicans.
>>344072
I'm a brit and I don't like them.
They are cancer and turning /pol/ into the meme POO IN A LOO pit that you hate, that I hate.
>>344064
Because the rest of 4chan aren't fucking /b/, [s4s] and /pol/ level of memeposting shitfests
>>344070
>hates memes
>hates shitposting
>doesn't want to be offended
>wants serious discussion
honestly what would even draw you to this site?
>>344062
Then I can pull out all the /pol/ rhetoric with "colored person" or other names and citing sources in a SFW board
>>344050
the entire point of this website is to find funny/interesting/triggering content for other people to talk about.
/news/ is just going to be some anons watching twitter live feeds and listening to SKYKING like hawks while masturbating to the fact that they can pull information from the internet maybe 5 seconds faster than /pol/
>>344075
You obviously never leave /b/ and /pol/.
>>344074
>rest of 4chan
Like what boards?
>>344075
I think the better question is, what would ever convince someone like you to venture outside of [s4s] and /pol/?
>>343822
where you'd get that
>>344076
people who want more moderation period are reddit
>>344083
I've been on this site longer than those boards
>>344083

It's 'politically incorrect'-- practically encouraged to be as edgy as possible.
>>344081
Every fucking other board than [s4s], /b/, /pol/, /mlp/, /trash/ and sometimes /v/
Sure every board has memes, but not every fucking board is a containment board for retards that live and breath memes
>>344097
Like?
>>343520
>/news/ rules: OP should be posted with news URL(s).
>presumably, only mainstream news outlets like CNN and BBC will be qualified and alternative ones will be banned
>outlets which the Right considers permanently tainted by Left insanity
>thus you ensure that all the key discussions on /news/ will be unilaterally Left
>the 48 hour time limit will ensure that the board goes swiftly along with the Left consensus
>>344097
Every board that isn't /b/ is actually a containment board
>>344091
and that is exactly the fucking reason I like the addition of /news/. Because I won't have to deal with people acting like fucking 2d cutouts when discussing the news
>>344099
boards that are either dead or 100% reddit like /sp/
>>344077
What?
>>343902
Unable to, at the moment.
>>344075
There's nothing with memes in and of themselves. A cleverly referenced maymay can enhance nearly any post. The problem is when the memes become the message. It's like eating a whole bowl of spice instead of flavoring your meat with it.
>>344100
"muh safespace conspiracy": the post
>>344101
Yes, but only those boards are containment boards for reddit tier cancer
>>344079
So what's the problem? No one is forcing you to go there.
What's next?
Boards for people who don't like anime and can't keep their mouth shout about how they hate it?
>>344105
SFW board for news =! /pol/-free board for news
Everything I disagree with is reddit.
>>344100
Good because the right never says anything good anyway.
>>344102
You realise regardless of what board, they'll be people with stupid opinions?
>>344113
For starters, it's going to take away those posters from /pol/ who do actually watch SKYKING and twatter like hawks
Secondly, it kills the legitimacy of /pol/ on 4chan by adding an alternative politics board.
>>344114
Hiro has already confirmed that won't happen with the Japanese wordfilters.
>>344112
So as I said.
Every board. Ever.
>>344120
And that's bad because.....?
>>344120
But it's not a politics board. It's a news board. Leave your politics at the door.
>>344118
You don't say?
>>343949
>It's like fucking [s4s].
The nice board™ isn't so aggressive.
>>344124
Politics and news are inseparable and as if people will leave their opinions and beliefs at the door.
There's no proof that this will happen.
>>344124
then it becomes people watching twitter and masturbating to how fast they can get information rather than actual content
>>344123
if this is a huge success, and the mods to a good job at censoring /news/, it will ultimately hurt /pol/, which is one of the last places you can say whatever the fuck you want on the internet.
>>344119
Yes. But at least they won't be /pol/ level of memespouting morons with completely black and white morality on the same level as old 50's propaganda
I'll be discussing it with actual fucking human beings with real opinions rather than exclusively edgy epic meme opinions
>>343953
Do they? I really only just do boards.4chan.org/~~/catalog every time
>>344133
>edgy epic meme opinions
>on a fucking anonymous anime imageboard
ayy
>>344133
dude really...just go back to reddit
>>344132
>which is one of the last places you can say whatever the fuck you want on the internet
You're joking, right?
>>344137
You and your fucking memes can go back to fucking reddit
>>344133
The lack of irony in your post in astounding.
You shit on people for having black and white opinions, but yet you are completely black and white about the people that visit /pol/.
>>343894
All the links to the news page were changed to /4channews.php today before the board was added. See for yourself.
>>344139
You must not have any alternative opinions, huh?
>>344139
Where's the joke?
You can say whatever you want on /pol/, nobody is going to ban you, nobody can hide your post from others.
>>344132
>which is one of the last places you can say whatever the fuck you want on the internet.
And this is bad how?
>>344148
And it's somehow "one of the last places on the internet" where you can do so?
>>344132
>if this is a huge success, and the mods to a good job at censoring /news/, it will ultimately hurt /pol/
Doesn't make a lick of sense. If mods do a good at keeping /pol/ out of /news/ that's good for /pol/ because then people will still go to /pol/ to "say whatever the fuck they want."
>>344149
b8 harder anon
>>344144
They are no fucking different to me than fucking bronies. Are you telling me I can't judge people who browse /mlp/ as a whole rather than as individuals?
By fucking definition, /pol/ users are edgy memespouting morons, much like /mlp/ are autistic memespouting morons
Is it possible to have a new board without /pol/ getting butthurt and causing a huge temper tantrum?
>>344139
>I think because I'm a fuck boy that follows the herd that means that 4chan is an echo chamber
k
>>344164
/pol/ isn't the one getting butthurt about it. /pol/ welcomes another board to colonize.
if anything ITT /a/utists are mad Hiro made yet another non-anime board.
/pol/ will get deleted eventually anyway, so who cares?
>>344020
Racism and sexism is not /pol/ per se, and /pol/ per se is not racism and sexism.
>people who hate browsing 4chan are browsing 4chan
Why though?
>>344160
I haven't said you can't do anything. You are free to do whatever you want.
By fucking definition 4channers are edgy memespouting morons. Look how the rest of the internet view us. You why that is? Because we fucking are. You wouldn't be here if you weren't.
>>344170
If you keep telling yourself that maybe one day it will come true. Or not.
>>344168
>/pol/ welcomes another board to colonize
And when they can't, they get butthurt and cause a temper tantrum complaining about "hugboxes".
>>344168
>if anything ITT /a/utists are mad Hiro made yet another non-anime board
Where? I don't see it.
>>344176
It's funny because there is 10x as much whining about /pol/ being on /his/ than there is /pol/ whining about not being on /his/.
>>344157
we will be losing quality posters, which aren't that common on /pol/
however there are good posts and shitposts
the shitposts are necessary in keeping the board original
go to the /his/ catalog and refresh
nothing changes because it's a no-fun allowed board.
>>344176
you want /news/ to be moderated so that you don't see anything you don't like
literally asking for a hugbox
>>344043
>"no fun/serious business"
Why is it not fun to discuss things seriously?
I do that all the time on /lit/, and I have a ball.
>>344179
Every post saying "NO MORE BOARDS!" is an /a/utist.
>>344182
Oh I'm sorry, I forgot it was a bad thing to ask for a board with slightly less shitposting and more discussion.
>>344186
>Every post saying "NO MORE BOARDS!" is an /a/utist
Not really.
>>344072
American here; they're fucked.
>>344174
Just because reddit thinks all of 4chan is /b/ doesn't give you the right to come in here and try to make it a reality
>>344180
Doubt it
>>343685
What happen to full-/pol/?
>>344193
>all of reddit
Ask anywhere, anywhere they'll all say the same fucking thing about us. Edgy, memespouting, morons.
The internet hates us as much as you hate /pol/.
The board will most likely be up tomorrow sometime. Hopefully explains the rules. Apparently we're getting a celebrity board as well, which /v/ and /tv/ were begging for since the beginning
>>344181
/his/ shouldn't be a fast board. Unless you literally got here yesterday you know that fast and slow boards are very different.
>>344185
>/lit/
>>344104
>slow = dead
Expected from someone who frequents /pol/, a board that functions at whiplash speed
>>344198
Reddit thinks they're so high and mighty of themselves, when they're actually a bunch of fedora tipping idiots run by SJW's
>>344174
Yeah, but /pol/ is like a bad parody of 4chan.
If you asked someone who's only heard bad things about 4chan to explain what a 4channer is, they'd describe the average /pol/ user. I'm fine with /pol/ existing, but they're too over the top extreme it's just fucking silly. You can't take anything there said even remotely serious because it's just so blatantly politically incorrect for no other reason than to wallow in edginess
They're the internet hate machine turned into a board of its own. It's existence on 4chan is alright, but sometimes you want a serious conversation that isn't exclusively about acting like a retard ironically or not.
You won't able to discuss news without bringing politics to it.
Given the current "refugee" situation and the recent attacks on Paris, in the case of future attacks people will eventually draw the connection between the two and bring political discussion to it.
It's like you niggers never saw the comments section of a digital newspaper.
>B-but muh /pol/tards and ebil nadsis ruining the boards with their stormkekkery
ayy veyy
>>344198
The moment a community tries to conform to outsider expectations is the moment it turns to absolute garbage. Listen to the bullshit you're advocating.
>>344185
>/lit/
That explains it.
>>344086
It's in the html. Most website pages have a 'content' flag so that search engines know what they're about.
>>344132
>it will ultimately hurt /pol/
Doesn't follow.
>>344186
Not true, I'm from /a/ and I'm actively advocating the creation of /l/
>>344204
I actually had a good conversation with a Dutchbro today about why the US is doing what they're doing in the ME. The only reason I find it possible to have that conversation with /pol/ is because it is the place where /his/ and /news/ collides.
>>344186
but /a/ really wants /l/ back
>>344204
As much as you doubt it, quality posting on /pol/ does exists. The problem is that with boards such as /his/ and /news/ they draw quality posters away and leave an empty husk of memeshit exactly what everyone hates.
This is what I've been saying, this is doing nothing but making /pol/ worse for everyone.
How to trigger /pol/.
Step 1: Make a new board.
>>344206
We're not trying to conform. This site has always been rolling around in its own fucking filth and then smearing it on others once in a while.
That's how we got the reputation.
>>344221
How to trigger all other boards:
Step 1: Delete /a/
>>344219
/lit/ is the single most leftist board on 4chan, with the possible exception of /co/. Of course you hate /pol/.
>>344226
NO
>>344220
The thing is though, the people who want /news/ are people that don't want to wallow in memeshit to find quality posts
>>344238
He's right though, it would be fun to see this happen.
>>344221
How to trigger any board
Step 1: Needlessly balkanize that board by making a new board that serves the exact same purpose as the current one.
>>344221
I'm from /pol/ and I'm fine with it. Many of us are. I don't know why people think /pol/ is sperging out about this when most people seem to be afraid this new board will turn into /pol/.
>>344237
Hey man, /lit/ was just an example of semi-serious discussion. I don't hate /pol/ at all, and even sometimes go there for shits and giggles.
>>344243
4chan would seize having a reason to exist if it were to happen
>>344246
>I'm from /pol/ and I'm fine with it. Many of us are. I don't know why people think /pol/ is sperging out about this when most people seem to be afraid this new board will turn into /pol/.
as a /pol/ user I think it's funny that people think it won't be a /pol/ colony
/n/ - News was the original /pol/
>>344242
And I get that.
But having the wallow in the shitposting is the whole part of being on 4chan and what makes it different from other websites.
>>344252
>I think it's funny that people think it won't be a /pol/ colony
You guys said the same thing about /his/ and that didn't work out for you, did it?
>>344252
You can go there, it won't matter. As long as it won't have flags and won't allow meme level of racist shitposting then you fags will be powerless
>>344249
I'm not saying perma, but a day or so?
The amount of asshurt site-wide would be on unprecedented proportion. I say this as a crossboarding weeb.
>>344257
You realise that's the /pol/ that /pol/ wants right?
>>344259
>/pol/ doesn't want racist shitposting
bullshit
>>344253
But it's different anon. I occasionally visit /v/, I know that gems can be found among tons of shitposting. But /pol/ is just too centered around shitposting as a board theme of its own to be really worth wallowing through the shit.
Instead of being knee deep in shit, I'm being forced to actively swim in it.
Everything is too over the top, serious topics and posters are so few and far in between that to someone that just doesn't relate much to all that shit, it's simply too fucking cringeworthy
>>344259
It will be a more civilized /pol/, which is all I'm asking. If the rest of 4chan is a bunch of monkies on typewriters, /pol/ is a bunch of monkies with machineguns
>>344264
You do realize that people say that about /v/, right?
All posters think their homeboard isn't as shitty as the others.
Thank you Hiro. I think this is great. That is all.
>>344267
I do realize people say that about /v/, and they're right.
/v/ isn't my homeboard though, I just stop by there sometimes when there on days when there aren't any decent anime airing
>>344263
I haven't said that meme posting can't exist.
But if you ever look over any of the "best of /pol/" caps they always go on about how you can meme all you want but that still doesn't prove your point.
>>344264
And we want to fix that and when we ask for the means to do so we get told that we can't have them.
>>344265
The hostility of /pol/ is part of the whole rumble-pit of ideology and free market idea mentality that the board had at "the golden era"
>>344272
And now it is nothing but a shell of memeing that you all hate so much
Anyway, I'm glad we've had a somewhat decent discussion.
peace
>>344264
/v/ is far, far worse than /pol/ right. Its literally shitposting central on /v/. You can't even talk about JRPG or anything anime looking game without some shitpostings turning the thread into calling people pedophiles. Can't even talk about shit like censorship because you'll be labeled a gamergate supporter. E-celeb threads are cancerous and are a main reason why so many newfags are on the board.
>>344286
Yeah, it's 5 am here. Time flies.
Night night
>>344289
At least news might take care of some of the e-celeb threads
>>344289
All in all, 4chan's admins agree with you to the point that /v/'s shitposting got it split into 4 different boards. /v/, /vg/, /vr/ and /vg/.
The same is now happening with /pol/'s shitposting causing it to split into /news/
>>344300
oops, meant to say /vp/ instead of /vg/ twice
>>343641
We know chucklefuck. It ain't going to work
>>344293
The rumored celebrity board is supposed to take care of that
>>344300
Only /vg/ and /vr/ seemed to have worked. /vp/ is a furry board and /v/ is worse than ever because of the newfags
/v/ needs to be split into western and eastern
I know /pol/ and /int/ have some really glaring flaws, but there's reason to create a new board. There's nothing at all stopping the same people from those boards from moving to /news/ as well unless the mods are very strict, which is it' own problem.
>>344331
I agree, but no one really wants it
>>344255
>You guys said the same thing about /his/ and that didn't work out for you, did it
You need to browse /his/ more. It's literally /pol/lite at this point.
>>344455
>You need to browse /his/ more. It's literally /pol/lite at this point.
I do browse /his/, it's nothing like /pol/.
