>How do we improve the quality of a board infested by underage b8?
You can't.
You can't. Boards degrade and stagnate when they have no content to fuel productivity. Until a new Pokemon game is at least announced /vp/ is doomed to remain more or less a husk.
>>367897
You can't have people that try producing anything because it gets overrun by shit post threads. Even with new games you'll be getting the same shit posts.
>>367897
/vp/ has lost faith in Game Freak's ability to make games. Even if a new Pokemon game was announced nothing would change.

Your board is literally a contain board for autism. "we need to save /vp/" means we need to improve a land fill, you exist exclusively as a garbage dumb, nothing more.
>>368191
so is /mlp/ but thats more moderated
>>368194
Because all the fetish and porn moved to /trash/ the board became a lot easier to moderate.
Find a mod that still likes Pokemon in their adult age.
It should be mentioned that /vp/ has actually notably improved since the first "/vp/ needs mod attention" got posted on /qa/, though. Shitposting is actually getting deleted and reports are actually going through these days.
nothing to save. /vp/ is the /mlp/ of /v/.
Delete /vp/ and /mlp/. Those boards have no reason to exist anymore.
>>368551
/v/ and /co/ would be destroyed
>>368540
It's still not happening quickly enough or frequently enough. We still sometimes have several-hour delays. At least reports are less likely to result in warnings or bans, but I still feel as though the jannies for /vp/ need to make more improvements.
>>369065
So uh, can this current shitposter raid get some attention?
>>>/vp/24770542
>>368557
Who cares?
>>369100
Just saying "shitposter raid" isn't exactly helpful. Who are the shitposters in question?
>>369101
/v/ and /co/ obviously
>>368551
/mlp/ fags stay in their hugbox for the most part. But yeah I'd say once Season 6 ends and the movie airs then delete the board, but that's not happening for another two more years
Is the only fucking thing you fuckers care about is your shitty little anime general?
Good god. Grow up.
>>369176
>/mlp/ is a hugbox
if you've been to /mlp/ you'd know that's wrong senpai
>>369176
The fanbase isn't exactly going to disappear after the show ends. If we can keep boards like /3/ and /diy/ we can keep /mlp/.
Seems like the same guy's ban evading and using an iphone to start posting threads again.
>>>/vp/24777279

>>>/vp/24781948
>>>/vp/24782132
>>370868
They have /trash/.
>>371230
It's started yet AGAIN, one guy talking to himself with the same "Clemont will steal Serena from Ash" crap we've been putting up for months. He's not just trolling and bait people but also spamming and flooding the thread. That's a double whammy against him.
>>>/vp/24783411
>>>/vp/24783417
>>>/vp/24783422
Well, let's start out with the major issues...
>Tailsposter/Anti-Fur shitposting
>Thread infighting and cross-thread fighting (/vp/ Sings and /wfg/ VS /ekx/)
>Issues involving Global Rule 3
And I'm sure there are others.
>>368340 touched on the issue, but it's because mods tend to get tired of moderating /vp/ and start to moderate other boards because of the whole "mods are global" thing.
>>371552
So, jannies...any help? Most of these posts below are the same guy replying to himself:
>>>/vp/24783411
>>>/vp/24783417
>>>/vp/24783422
>>>/vp/24783459
>>>/vp/24783510
>>>/vp/24783520
>>>/vp/24783522
>>>/vp/24783527
>>371557
/vp/ also gets a shitton of Rule 10 (spamming/flooding) violations because there's a long gap period between purges of shitposts. When the janitors are only showing up once every four or five hours, shitposters can post whatever they want and however much they want for an entire afternoon or evening with impunity.
>>371557
>Tailsposter/Anti-Fur shitposting
They both use phones, so there really isn't way to get rid of them permanently outside of rangebanning him.
And if what the Tailsposter said a few months ago is true, he can get past those with a simple phone call to his ISP.
>Thread infighting and cross-thread fighting (/vp/ Sings and /wfg/ VS /ekx/)
This is probably one of the bigger non-shitposting issue, the latter moreso because of Injectorfag's predatory tactics and pompous attitude on how the two threads should be one despite people having the right to play the games they want to and creating communities based on such.
Hell, Injectorfag's been banned multiple times already and I'm shocked he hasn't been permabanned yet.
>Issues involving Global Rule 3
There's been a lot of this as of late and I partially blame that on some of the mods/janitors having lax definitions of the word "anthropomorphic" and what falls into that category.
>>371571
There's that too, the idiot that was spamming that shitty strawpoll being an example of it in action...
/vp/ has been on a steady decline ever since the browser exploit came out (which was february this year) and the disappointment with ORAS postgame really started to kick in
i took pic related this summer
>>371604
and this is how the archive looks right now
i mean you could technically argue that the number of archived threads is not entirely representative of boards activity, but the decline is still quite visible
>>367809
Simple: you remove genies.
Delet veepee.
>made before /vg/, /vg/ can handle one or two cancer tier generals.
>/a/ deserves pokecancer [spoiler]:^)[/spoiler]
>/trash/ can hold stupid hype bullshit so /v/ doesn't dip in quality. [spoiler]>implying /v/ is quality.[/spoiler]
>>371636
oh no I've made a fool of myself
have vp accept other monster colecting games like digimon and monster rancher for example change it to /mon/ for monster collection or something
>>371552
>getting this buttblasted over something so insignificant
Are you that mentally ill anon from the previous /qa/ thread?
remove /vp/, shove generals that mean something to them onto /vg/, shove pokegirl threads and other cancer onto /a/
problem solved
>>371557
>/wfg/ VS /ekx/
This isn't really a thing. The two threads generally get along fairly well.
The issue is that InjectorFag does whatever he can to antagonize wfg for not wanting hacks in their thread
>>371644
>shove pokegirl threads and other cancer onto /a/
I hope you mean /b/.
>>371604
Remember Giveaway General? I think it's a good thing Injecting killed that cancer. Giveaways brought nothing but underage b& from Gamefaqs and Leddit to learn their first shitposts.
>>371652
/e/, /h/, /c/ and /trash/ would suffice.
Hell Pokegirl and blatant fur threads should be moved more often anyways.
>>371670
/ekx/ is the de facto Giveaway General now, majority of the thread is just faggots begging for hacks while spamming emoticons and exclamation marks
>>371640
This is the best thing, the board fucking dies when its between games, allowing other monster collecting games would help
Maybe add Monster Hunter as well or something
>>371640
>>371798
methinks it wouldn't be such a good idea because it would inevitably lead to fandom wars and thus even more shitposting
/vp/ at it's current state could be safely disbanded into one or two generals on /vg/, anime general on /a/, TCG general on /tg/ and general hype/news threads on /v/
>>371641
As whiny as that faggot is, those threads HAVE improved tremenously recently due to shitposter raids getting purged.
Even when they don't get stopped, they happen much less often and don't last as long as they used to just a few weeks ago.
>>371808
>methinks it wouldn't be such a good idea because it would inevitably lead to fandom wars and thus even more shitposting
This. There are genwars all the time on /vp/, allowing other franchises would just amplify that to the nth degree.
>>367809
>2015

Those used to work as vaccination against those other cancers, but guess there's no vaccine when the cancer is already spread.

>>367950
>/vp/ has lost faith in Game Freak's ability to make games.
Shit nigga, who wouldn't? It took them until RSE to make the games not shit, and then you have them fucking up again with the 3DS games. If they didn't own half the rights to Pokemon I have no doubt in my mind Nintendo would have dropped them years ago.
>>367809
Nothing is getting saved until leak season.
By the way, does sluggy 2.0 still post or has he given up?
>tfw only 23 days left of the MSPaint threads
They were my favorite threads, too.
/vp/ needs cleaning up again mods, how many hotpockets do you need to do your jobs
Why won't the mods crack down on this one shitter that posts the same forced meme image in every fucking anime thread for no reason, it meets all the criteria for reposting and spamming, I mean look at how many reposts there are in the archives:
>>>/vp/24795633
http://fgts.jp/vp/search/image/v9luxAq7PlITsa7QoAY4LQ/
>>371848
I have to agree, moderation definitely has improved. Janitors are much quicker to clamp down on shitposting, spamming, trolling, porn posting, etc. There are still some annoying periods where the janitors seem to disappear for a little while and the shitposters run wild, but once the janitors come back things calm down again and most shitposts are actually deleted.
A ban on NSFW text.
>>374212
Nah
>>374064
Yeah, that guy is obnoxious. He just reposted a near seizure inducing version of it in the newest anime thread here >>>/vp/24799570
And then there's more "Poke girl tier" chart spam >>>/vp/24799564
>>374857
That flashing "pika nenene" GIF has been reposted a fair amount too http://fgts.jp/vp/search/image/de_wRjmIySWf-GHapZvAgg/
>>374064
He keeps reposting/spamming it:
>>>/vp/24803726
>>>/vp/24801408
>>>/vp/24801395
Quit warning people for reporting the Pokemon girl ranking charts that you have repeatedly deleted (and rightly so, because they're spam):
>>>/vp/24803736
We've been getting raided by frogposters, spammers and baiters all evening, and people keep getting warned for reporting it. Come on, things were getting so much better recently, and now all of a sudden posts that were getting deleted the past couple of weeks are resulting in people getting punished for reporting them. Makes no sense.
As much as things improved recently there's still that one piece of shit who spams "Amour made no progress, Amour has stagnated, Amour will never go anywhere, Amour is dead, Serena is too beta and will never confess, Serena will fall in love with Clemont soon and fall out of love with Ash, Serena doesn't actually love Ash, Yashio/Tierno/Clemont will steal Serena away from Ash so they will never end up together" over and over again for ten hours a day just to trol with people who think Serena's crush on Ash is cute even though virtually everything he says is total bullshit. It's spamming and trolling at its worst, so why don't the janitors treat it as such?
>>375751
The sad thing is, it's such an easy problem to fix, all they have to do is issue a Global 10 ban the next time they see one of those trigger phrases you mention and all the other shitposts he and samefags he does will get nuked right away
>>375667
Whoever the janitor was earlier was a fucking moron, first they warn a bunch of people that report pokegirl ranking listspam and "amour a stagnant" stalebaiting. then more of the listspam gets posted later in the thread and people get warned or banned for reporting that stuff, yet minutes later those later same posts get deleted anyway while the earlier listspam posts and stalebaiting don't get deleted at all. It's like turning in an art project that you forgot to finish coloring halfway through, fucking stupid
This is a perfect example of why /vp/ moderation sucked so bad for such a long time, now imagine that same problem every day for a year including whole days or two days with no modding at all and you've got /vp/ moderation in a nut shell. Sure it's gotten a bit better but some of the jannies are still lazy as fuck and don't give two shits, they may as well be in cahoots with the shitposters
This is what happens when the mods are incompetent...you get banned or warned for reporting shitposts but shit like this loli incest copypasta greentext is inexplicably allowed to stay up >>>/vp/24803799
>>373734
At this point they just need hot pockets that give half a fuck and don't simply brush aside multiple reports for the same shitpost, swear to god there are still cases where everyone and their mom knows something is a shitpost yet the hotpockets are so retarded they get all 15 people that reported the post banned
>>371641
I'm not the same anon but they speak truth, there is one faggot that shitposts the whole day everyday about that Clemont stealing Serena and amour stagnating or dying shit, and it's fucking annoying as hell because the posting and baiting and what ever replies they get clutters up the thread
Makes it near impossible to actually discuss anything when you have 1 person doing 3 or 4 people's worth of shitposting and then the stray anon or 2 that takes the bait
>>367809
Clearer rules and stricter moderation would be a fantastic route to take
>>375778
It'd have to be stricter the first two weeks of every month because of the whole corocoro magazine leaking anything involving the games. Before said leaks you get a crazy amount of shitposting.
>>375778
How about having moderation, period?
Hey jannies, how long have you been on hotpocket break? The Pokemon anime thread is getting invaded by frog posters, link spammers and anti-Amour baiters again, get off your asses and start actually moderating
>>367950
Maybe because Game Freak fumbles the ball every time? I don't even go on /vp/, don't understand why the board even exists, but I can understand why people don't like Game Freak.
>>367809
Hiro needs to get moderators and janitors for /vp/ that actually give a shit and won't ban you for reporting shitposting.
>one or two dubs posts deleted
>a bunch of troll frog posts, YouTube linkspam and the one Amour baiting shitposter that talks to himself not deleted
Quality work, mods
You do realize that most of the shitposting (both in the anime thread and on the board in general) is done by three or four ban-evading faggots, right?
>>376209
It doesn't fucking matter, if they would just delete the shitposting then that part becomes less relevant
Oh by the way mods, you missed a spot, this Amour baiting shitposter's bait and troll posts are still not deleted, along with the same goddamm "Back to your board Tierno" replies that we have been getting every single day now, spammiest shit ever
>>376241
This "amour stagnant no progress and Serena is too beta and will end up with Clemont" poster is worse than the goodrafag at this point, I've never seen shit poster that spends the whole day, everyday in one thread spamming the same shit like this just because he enjoys ruining the experience for fans of one character in one tv show for kids in one thread on an anime imageboard
It takes a special kind of autism to do it, I just wish the mods would crack down on him
>>376241
>>376263
He clearly does it because you morons get so visibly butthurt. The evidence couldn't be any more clear based on your /qa/ posts.
Here's a tip, don't cry about shitposting every time it happens, especially in this manner:
https://desustorage.org/qa/thread/364728/#364755
Just laugh it off and show you don't really care. Better yet, learn how to use filters.
>>376270
The problem is mostly that he keeps replying to himself so much and for so long. Most of the "visible butthurt" is just him pretending to be someone else, making it seem like the thread actually has constant retarded arguments like that.
Hell, that autist you linked to might even be him.
>>376270
Not the same anon, but when one shitposter is preventing a recurring general with dozens of regulars from functioning properly on a daily basis, there's a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed. So far the mods haven't addressed it.
Besides by your logic we should never complain about any shitposting no matter how bad it is and just "laugh it off" and filter it even if it cripples a whole board or general. That's what mods are supposed to be here to do, to eliminate shitposting. You're basically saying "fuck it, don't
I'm not even defending the autist that wrote that dissertation of a post but I mean come on, with as many people as are complaining in this thread alone about the amour bait spamposter, it is a real problem that the moderation team so far has not addressed.
>>376328
>the amour bait spamposter
Posting about amourshipping is still part of the show so it should be allowed without much restrictions, but the amour fan art posting needs to be toned down a bit.
>>375778
Not really, the rules are fine. Getting too strict will also remove many people from the site. Moderation is only needed when disturbing /b/ level stuff gets posted, janitors get rid of most other off topic stuff without being too harsh on people that were "shitposting".
>>376338
When one person is doing the same bait posts and samefagging replies 10 hours a day, that's not legitimate discussion. That's spam and trolling, which are against the rules.
Your other comment about only /b/ stuff needing to be deleted is plain stupid.
