So I remember some time ago, some /vp/ fags started to use this board to warn about the rampant shitpost that was going on there, and for what I heard at the time it actually worked.

But recently it's getting really bad again for what I saw, with constant bait threads with bait pics like >>25215662 that go against the board rules besides. Also the fact that those threads about genwars are now posted daily and constantly, including some that are posted on /v/ too, on the same way and with the same posts sometimes.

It's specially bad if you take into account that they weren't allowed even back at the time when this kind of thing was constant, and the board just got newer stuff to talk about, so it's not like they are drying up right now.
>>
>>442767

Welp, I see it was deleted, so thanks MOD I guess. Just wanna point out through that they are getting daily lately, like the goodra threads used to, except sometime he starts halfway through a thread. I'm not sure if he picks random threads or if he starts himself with another subject so people won't notice until they read inside of it.
>>
>>442769
Why does your board have a Gardevoir general?
Is that even allowed?
>>
>>442796
Damn, there's a Gardevoir general? I'm gonna start going there.

The answer is probably because Gardevoir is amazing. Whoever came up with that idea has fine taste and the mods have fine taste too for allowing it.
>>
>>442806
They also have Phox Phriday threads for the Fennekin line.
>>
>>442849
Once a week is fine, but a general?
There is not enough discussion for something like that.
Keep in mind I used the word discussion loosely, we all know its just an image dump.
>>
>>442849
Another excellent choice.

Really, the question I have to ask is, why are there so many sexy Pokemon? Nintendo really knows what's up.

Copypasting most of this post from last thread: I find it rather disgusting how much favoritism the mods give to the Team Rocket RP thread. Every other RP thread (usually) gets deleted reasonably fast as they should, but ninety-nine percent of the time the Team Rocket RP threads make it to bump limit even though it's the same tripfags freeforming every thread.

If you tell the inhabitants of the thread to make a Skype chat or some other thing you get "muh board culture, we're been here since /tr/, get out newfag"

If you mention the favoritism it gets on /vp/ you get warned and your post is deleted while the thread is still up (not that there isn't a Global Rule against complaining on 4chan but still, the mods are clearly awake if that happens).

I'm almost positive a janitor or mod is one of the tripfags in those threads, that's how much protection it gets.

When I went to /qa/ for the first time last thread I was pleased to see the moderation here agreed with me and that the threads were often swept from the board, but after the thread 404'd they started popping up again; they've even changed their OP to something more subtle, I didn't notice it until this hour because of it.

>>>/vp/25222658
This is the current thread, it actually doesn't have most of the usual tripfags in it (unless they're disguised) but I feel the need to bring it up anyway because if you let them set up camp fully again they'll fight much more strongly to stay.


I also agree about /ggvp/ not belonging, though I choose to fight my battles one at a time which why I don't actively rally against it.
>>
>>443445
We should get rid of the /ggvp/ and other furfag threads before even caring about RP. RP is infinitely better than that shit. Pick your battles in the right order.
>>
>>443449
Killing furfags on a topic like Pokémon is a near-insurmountable battle. We've already nearly wiped out RP threads; the second largest group, Pokémon are /real/, has already been disbanded. If we can take out the remaining figure the board will be cleansed entirely of it outside the sporadic one-off thread that would never truly go away. That is why I fight this specific battle first.
>>
>>443453
RPs shouldn't be generals, but I think that it should be fine to have a weekly Rocket RP, or a weekly PAR RP, or both. The furfags are infinitely worse, and don't even entertain 10-20~ people like the RPs, but are just made to piss people like me off, and it works.
>>
>>443458
>but are just made to piss people like me off

And RP threads are just made to piss people like me off. I don't see why you can't fight your battles and I fight mine, we don't conflict each other and in a perfect world both our problems would be solved.
>>
>>443459
>And RP threads are just made to piss people like me off
RPs are made to entertain autists, but they aren't nearly as bad, and by focusing on them, the mods apparently think that we're all fine with something that more people hate than have ever hated the stupid RPs.
>>
>>443464
There are more people in this thread who have stated they want /ggvp/ wiped out than people who want RP threads wiped out, and I even made sure to state that I agree with wiping out /ggvp/. The numbers are with you.
>>
>>443465
Then, we should stop complaining about the RPs, until the /ggvp/ are gone. It is a million times worse, and it needs to be gone before focusing on anything else.
>>
>>443466
Well the RP thread is already deleted so I'll go with you and try to focus on /ggvp/, at least unless I see a Team Rocket thread make it to bump limit or something.
>>
>>443469
Why can't we just move to get them to make it weekly? Then they'd be happy, and we'd be happy. Or I would. Now, how did you convince the mods to start deleting them in the first place?
>>
>>443471
You mean the RP threads? The first post I made about it, and the only post I made before things started getting done, was the same post I made in this thread with slightly different wording. I suppose I just made an argument that the mods found solid.
>>
>>443472
Well, let's hope they see these arguments.
>>
>>443478
I'll try to divulge my own thoughts on /ggvp/ in detail to help your case.

/ggvp/ has no discussion at all. If they aren't dumping images they're shitposting. Some of the images are blatantly furry or fetishes like >>>/vp/25219518, there's direct discussion about wanting to fuck it (which despite what they try to tell you is also furry), and there were presumably—I say presumably because I only started going to /vp/ during the XY hype period and wasn't around for it—similar Pokémon Generals in the old days that got banned for the same reasons as /ggvp/ would in those times, having no discussion and just being nonstop image dumps and shitposts. It brings nothing to the board and only further encourages the low post quality that plagues the board as a whole. If it isn't removed entirely it should at least be reduced to a weekly basis like the Delphox and Lopunny threads have been.

Hopefully my thoughts assist you, anon.
>>
>>443484
>/ggvp/ has no discussion
>there's direct discussion

Fuck me, I should've proofread. You know what I mean, though, it's not remotely quality discussion.
>>
>>443484
They were hit just as hard with shitposting when it was a weekly thing.
Just get rid of it all together, if you give those people an inch they'll take a mile.
>>
>>443583
Well maybe they'd keep in line if you showed them you weren't afraid of actually moderating them. It's worth a shot, give them a chance at redemption.

Also I apologize for avatarfagging, I didn't even realize I was doing it consistently.
>>
>>443588
>Well maybe they'd keep in line if you showed them you weren't afraid of actually moderating them.
They are just like the RPfags. I have seen threads where they say they'll continue to be shitty fucks after the people calling them out go away.
Moderation for them means a couple of posts / threads get deleted then they just post them right back up in a couple hours time.
The only way to deal with something like this is to outright ban it.
>>
>>443598
Still, if you go full-on ban it's just going to push them further to not die. Even Hitler knew to ease into the Final Solution with the ghettos.

I'm also concerned about the potential unintended side effect of any Gardevoir thread getting banned on sight even if it isn't general faggotry and just a random image dump. I dislike /ggvp/ but I don't dislike the 'mon itself.
>>
>>443624
Sadly, the mon is a huge magnet for shitposting. Banning Gardevoir will send a message that /vp/ will take none of your furfag bullshit.

If gardevoir-posting can be kept to in-game, anime, or TCG discussion only, then it could be saved. Otherwise, it's too much of a furry magnet to be kept around

But where does that stop, is the issue? Do we ban Lucario posting because furfags love Lucario? Do we do the same with Sceptile, Delphox, Lopunny, Mienshao, and any other common target for furries/scalies? Do we ban any Ashnime discussion because of what a shithole Ashnime general is?

I think we need to be careful with this type of thought, slippery slope is a real thing and we need a balance between "everything is allowed and Bui has taken over the board again" and "no fun allowed whatsoever, you get banned for having a different opinion than whomever is in charge or liking what they don't like." /vp/ has hit both extremes in the past.
>>
>>445237
>Do we ban any Ashnime discussion because of what a shithole Ashnime general is?
No, you get some fucking proper moderation to delete the shitposting people that hate the anime drown the thread in rather than blame the thread itself.
>>
>>445288
Well isn't that the same as Gardevoir threads? Just remove the shitposting and waifufaggotry (as in the blatant "I want to fuck it" kind). And if there isn't enough left afterward to justify a 24/7 thread, then don't let it be a 24/7 thread and instead just have it be like phox phriday.
>>

In theory, yeah.

In practice,

is pretty much a given.

While it's on my mind, can something be done about the Yo-Kai Watch shitposter, the one who goes into any Pokémon thread that says anything negative about any design and posts "Get a load of this" with a Yo-Kai Watch image?

A new /Pokemon are real/ is up. Let's just let it stay up, but if they make a new one the second that one hits the bump limit or dies, report it.
They can have a weekly, but not a general.
Anyone else agree?

>>446384
No, fuck them.
You can't show any mercy to these types of people. Look at what letting Gardevoir general slide did.
>>
>>446396
Gardevoir general is a thread for a single Pokemon used by 5~ people.
/PAR/ is a thread just for simple entertainment of 25~ people, where worldbuilding stuff is discussed.
It is completely different, you jackass. It shouldn't be a general, nobody should hold one identity for more than one thread, but it should be allowed.
If you still aren't satisfied, then ignore it.
>>
>>446406
I'm a little conflicted by this. On the one hand, I agree that those threads have the potential to get out of control. On the other, I don't really see a problem with them having a single thread up at a time, as long as it's a single thread at a time and marked consistently so people can hide it if desired.

>>
>>446440
We "Bend over backwards" because it's better than "WHERE'S THE LEAKS" and "ALWAYS F.E.M.I.N.I.N.E."
Also, worldbuilding isn't bad. It won't get out of control if the threads are reported and deleted when they are made more often than weekly.
>>
>>446440
What does that even mean? I report and ignore.
I can't control retards who respond

I don't think it's so much bending over backwards as there's not a whole lot to talk about, so things get let go. I'll be the first to agree that they need to be moderated, but I don't think simply cutting them out entirely is the answer either.

It's called worldbuilding. It's allowed on /tg/, and we're a franchise board, which means that anything related to the topic, even if it would normally go on another board, goes there.
>>
>>446811
>/tg/

/real/ tried going to /tg/, actually, and got told that they were against the rules. Freeform RP is not allowed on /tg/ (the only reason quests get a pass is the QM-player interaction and there being structured rules in the sense that the QM is the ultimate facilitator of what does or doesn't happen). It was agreed by both /tg/ and /vp/ (excluding the people who frequent those threads of course) that /trash/ was the most appropriate place to go since they don't have to worry about any post quality rules or furry rules, but the anons that go to /real/, I shit you not, think they're "too good" to be sat next to horsedicks even if it would save them any and all trouble regarding deletion.

Also who the fuck posted >>>/vp/25251936 I don't want shitposters flooding these threads by it getting linked.
>>
>>446816
Shitposters will browse /qa/ themselves and link the threads like that for maximum shitposting potential.
>>
"I don't like it. Ban it" is a legit argument if enough people don't like "x" vs the people that do.

Lets a look at /vp/'s history. There was a thread called jewing general, it was a thread about ripping off passerbies / people on the GTS for rare pokemon, keep in mind this was before powersave and injecting so 6iv and shiny pokemon were indeed rare.
The board didn't like it even though the thread didn't technically break any rules. They were scrapped obviously.

Point is fuck these RPfags. Why are people here defending them, oh right because they are the same shitheads that use that borderline furry thread.
>>
>>446825
I legitimately had fun with "DiancieEgg4Shiny" when people were ignorant enough to fall for it.
>>
>>446825
The problem is, out of the 500~ people that use /vp/, 30~ of them use the RP, and 15~ want it gone. It breaks no rules, except potentially GR6. You are the ones stating that it breaks GR6, so you have to support your claim. You need over 50% of /vp/'s regular users to agree with you to support your claim.
It's not "Those who use it against those who don't," it's not "Those who like it against those who hate it," it's "Those who hate it against those who don't."
The majority of /vp/ doesn't hate it, since the majority doesn't care for it one way or the other.

Do you understand?

There's no way to poll the entirety of /vp/ in this fashion; even if Strawpolls weren't easily fucked with, it breaks Global Rule 8 to ask them there. I say it is indeed those who like it against those who hate it.

If, in real life, you had to have a public vote on some niche issue, let's say making it illegal to own some stupid fad shit, and only 20% of the population went out to vote and it was overall voted in favor of banning said fad, you can't just go "well 80% of the population didn't go out to vote so obviously they don't care, that means they have to stay!"

Someone not voting or speaking about an issue is exactly that, someone not voting or speaking about an issue. To count silence as anything other than silence is just you taking illogical measures to keep your RP thread alive.
>>
>>446838
If everyone did vote, then it would be 20% against 80%. I'm not saying that those who don't care wouldn't vote, I'm saying that, out of 2 options, if they did vote, they would vote they didn't hate it, meaning that they do not think that it breaks GR6.
We can't have a real poll, but we can assume from the post counts of this thread, their thread, and the biggest threads.
>>
>>446840
>If everyone did vote, then it would be 20% against 80%.

[citation needed]

We had this exact conversation last thread, albeit regarding Team Rocket RP. There are reasons for a person to dislike something and feel it doesn't belong but not publically speak about it on their own free time. You CANNOT just assume everyone not speaking up is on your side, it's a heavy, blatant bias.
>>
>>446841
>[citation needed]
I was using your numbers.
If someone doesn't publicly speak about it, we can assume that they have no strong feelings.
Make a thread on /vp/ and tell people to come here to add to your voice if they hate it.
>>
>>446844
>If someone doesn't publicly speak about it, we can assume that they have no strong feelings.

We CAN'T assume that. You're only assuming that because it defends your general. To give the example I gave last thread:

>think Team Rocket RP doesn't belong
>report it whenever it's made
>ignored by the mods
>mention in-thread how it doesn't belong
>>get out newfag we have seniority we can do whatever we want
>complain about moderation quality on /vp/ at one point
>get a warning for Global Rule 8 while thread stays up
>get dejected and stop publically speaking against it until I check /qa/ and see a thread regarding /vp/

But I bet you'd say I'd vote to keep that RP thread if you polled me during that dejected state.

>Make a thread on /vp/

Again, Global Rule 8, last time I did I got warned. We've had these discussions on /vp/ before, and it was pretty much ruled that nobody but the fucks who go to the threads want them around. It was discussed at length on several different boards.

>>446856
>I don't even see them linked in cringe threads

People link other /vp/ threads in cringe threads? At most I just see them screencapping OP, and usually someone screencapping that screencap and posting it immediately after.

>If as many people hated it as you say,

I didn't say everyone that doesn't speak up hates it. I said you can't assume anything from what their votes may be unless they actually vote.

If I were on a dynamic IP I'd make the thread.
>>
>>446858
>I didn't say everyone that doesn't speak up hates it. I said you can't assume anything from what their votes may be unless they actually vote.
Okay, let's just give your numbers more, then. 70 hate it, let's say, and 30 people like it.
Are these numbers more to your liking?
You still would have less than half, which is what you need to rightfully claim that it breaks GR6.
Unless you believe that more than half hates it? Or that my argument of those that hate it versus those that don't is incorrect?

>Let's allow slugfucker to have his own thread as long as he keeps it on a weekly basis.
The difference is, those threads are narrow and present no interesting discussion. A weekly "Mistakes that you believe GF made" would be fine for him to make and mention Goodra in.

>>if you complain about them then you are a sissy baiting faggot that hates to see people have fun
>>if you ignore them then you accept them with open arms and they can yiff in peace.
1. I never even implied that. I have no doubt that most of you are not shitposting, you truly believe your points. Now you need to defend them.
2. These threads are not furry threads. The furry posts should be deleted, but ones like "Have any of you ever met Brock? I'm about to challenge him, but want to seem cool," ones that lead to people expressing potentially interesting ideas about characters and species, are good.

>The Dawn threads of long ago and Bianca fart threads didn't break any rules either and they were removed because people spoke their minds.

Its always the same thing. Gardevoir threads, RP threads, now /real/ threads.

A shit ton of people get upset and they start talking about it here, when the subject finally has enough people some faggot mod deletes the thread or puts it into auto sage so it doesnt get attention (this happened in the very last thread).

/vp/ has no rule against roleplay.
The only board that does is /mlp/.
Maybe the janitor covers both boards and just got confused?

Roleplay threads are covered under Global Rule 6, janny probably just wanted to specify so anon understood why he was being warned.

That's what the blanket rules like Global Rules 3 and 6 are for. It's also why staff added the ability to warn instead of ban, so that things can be made more clear without severe consequence.

If you wish for them to officially put up a "no roleplay" sub-rule instead of it being under the blanket fan, I don't see the harm.

This is probably the biggest issue with /vp/, actually, because i bet a ton of little issues stem from this thought process. "Oh, everyone else shitposts so I should shitpost too! They're doing an autistic thing so I can do another autistic thing!" Then when you or someone else complains, "but everyone else is doing it, might as well ban the entire board if you're going to ban this!"

We need a change in attitude.

Question from an outsider:

What's up with all the complaints about /vp/ here on /qa/? How can there even be so much trouble on a niche board? I don't get it, the Pokemon fanbase must be filled with lunatics.
>>
>>448362
There aren't as many as it looks like, but the ones there are have gone largely unchecked for some time now. That's why things are blowing up in here like they are.
>>
>>448362
Most complaints are exaggerated, /vp/ only needs a mod/janitor sometimes to clean up literal shit pictures and to clean up the spam. It's mostly peaceful without much need of moderation.
>>
>>448362
/vp/ is very poorly moderated so at times the board gets flooded with shit that stays up for hours

Then you get the persistent guys who troll threads but not with blatant shitposting, so unless janitors keep an eye on the board fail to notice it. Fetishists and shit are the worst (for example a guy called Scott who can't shut up about a characters breasts). Also newfags falling for their bait and replying doesn't help (or the shitposters using another device to reply to their own posts)

Finally its the lack of information/content the board has had for the last year or so, which means people decide to make threads about memes or retarded offtopic bullshit
>>
>>448362
/vp/ isn't for Pokemon, it's just a shitposting haven where some Pokemon fans go to and try and derail it.
>>
>>448362
It's like making board just for Sonic fans, of course it's going to be filled with furries and shitposters. The issue is /vp/ goes largely unmoderated and we have plenty things stay up when they shouldn't stay up.

And I mean like actual near-defendable things like fetish threads, not just my hateboner for RP threads and Gardevoir threads. The vore thread from recent stayed up more than a week, more than 168 hours.

I think you're right.

Consider this. There's a board for My Little pony. Realistically that board must be filled with even more autists and weirdos than the Pokemon board. Yet I never see any threads here on /qa/ with bronies complaining about their board. Why aren't they complaining?

Maybe you guys are just too sensitive.

No, because as we learned from Team Rocket RP, /vp/'s mods are known for heavy bias.

Mods HAVE deleted TRRP and /real/ threads in the past, especially the latter because mods used to not be biased against them. We had seemingly managed to wipe /real/ off the board, but the people defending TRRP likely encouraged them to come back.

I'm just looking to protect /vp/ from becoming the cesspool it was in /tr/ days. I keep bringing up Aura Time in these threads and how apathy from the mods will only bring back shit like that, but in all honestly Aura Time isn't nearly the worst /vp/ has ever been. Look at this. Look at this image, would you allow this to return? Because if we stay on the path we're on it's going to return to the days of got yer feets and Garybombing and unregulated pornography dumping. Slippery slope is not a fallacy here, as was proven right here and now by

I am not complaining about the shitposters in the Team Rocket RP, /real/, and Gardevoir threads. I am complaining about the Team Rocket RP, /real/, and Gardevoir threads. Freeform roleplay is some of the lowest quality posts you could make, it's Deviantart-tier. Pretending to be a member of Team Rocket with no system of rules where you can always win via fiat is just a circlejerk. /real/ threads
>lol I have a Pokémon it's doing real life animal things lol Mr. Mime is stalking me lol my electric type is shocking me guys I don't know what this Pokémon is even though I do someone tell me what it is so we can pretend to be clueless like we were really in Pokémon
brings absolutely nothing to this board. It's all one-or-two-posts of non-sequitors repeated endlessly or people listing common knowledge facts about Pokémon as if they were actually applying it to something. It is, again, a circlejerk with no real discussion.

Gardevoir threads are image dumps with waifufaggotry thrown into the mix. There is nothing it brings that is worth being more than weekly, yet people like you defend its 24/7 threads with
>it's Pokémon so it's allowed!
even though that opens the floodgates for any of the garbage I brought up in the previous post. Gardevoir general has no discussion to it like the others; if it ever did it's long-since been exhausted by being a 24/7 general. It's again a circlejerk.

Circlejerks are only ever defended by circlejerkers, the type of people who blanket anyone that calls their low post quality out as being "just a couple shitposters, nobody really dislikes us!" It's the same mental state CWC has, calling any and all a troll for not loving his masterpiece. The fact that there's an overlap betwee several of these circlejerks only strengthens the feeling I have that they need to be removed. They hurt the board and will only hurt it more when worse things start being allowed.
>>
>>449865
I agree with the assessment of the Gardevoir threads; they really do need to be cut back to once a week at the most, to give time for new OC to be developed if nothing else.

The /real/ threads are in a bit of a bind, because they're likely to be declared useless no matter what happens; too short a post and there's no quality, too long in a single post or a chain and it's a circlejerk.

The Rocket threads used to not be total circlejerks, but now they are due primarily to lack of interest from more than a few people. They do try to provide more detail in the things they do, but it's a balance between high-quality posts and moving stories along that's often poorly struck and allowing little room for other interested parties to come in.

>>
>>450708

Honest question.

What do you consider "fixing /vp/?"

Getting rid of the role play threads?
Getting rid of the generals?
Getting rid of the anything and everything you as an individual don't like?

Because that seems to be the general consensus I see consistent in these threads.

When I see a post I don't like, it's as simple as pressing that little button that allows me to hide it.

What's that? Another one? I'll hide that one too.

WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING HARD FOR PEOPLE?

/vp/ since it's inception has been plagued by this kind of general faggotry. The way these boards work, the more popular threads will get more attention. So when threads get image bombed, usually by people posting the likes of Gary Oak and Spider-Man, they make (their words) the "shit threads" reach the image limit faster, and constitute the creation of more "shit threads."

Shit makes more shit. The only way to fix it is to stop making more.

tl;dr: The best way to "fix /vp/" is to leave it alone, stop the worthless demonizing of threads, and USE THE HIDE FEATURE LIKE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE!

But I guess that is too much to ask for, isn't it.

the report/hide function is one of the most underutilized goodies on /vp/. Usually if one sees a thread that does break the rule or just something they don't like, they can report the OP, which automatically hides the entire thread and allows for further browsing without seeing it anymore. To interact with the thread any further would be about the equivalent of willingly browsing /d/ only to complain about dickgirls: Nothing good comes out of it and often gets the complainer banned instead of the thread.

In my opinion it becomes a problem when said things start leaking into other threads, like if RP somehow gets into a thread talking about a newly announced Pokemon. Alternatively it becomes an issue if threads start flooding /vp/ like those goodra threads from years ago or today, the 'false' gardevoir threads that pop up when shitposting invades one..

Hiro never should've made /trash/. Containment boards never, ever, ever work, /mlp/ being the exception because mods did the proper work to stomp into the dust anyone posting about it off that board. All it did was tell the furries "hey, you have this new place to go to!" and when you give someone an inch, they take a mile, as has been said repeatedly in the thread.

True, but I'd rather take a warning/1 day ban for not having a report count rather than 3 day ban for complaining.

Never said that. What I meant was that as anons, we don't have any powers to directly delete threads. The only tools provided for us is the report button and using the feedback/mod email/irc (and apparently going to qa). So instead of complaining in problematic threads to cause an even worse storm, use the tools provided.

That AT WORST should be just a warning, not a flat-out 3-days ban.

fuck moot, glad that cuck's gone

far as XY times went, I personally thought that was some of the best times /vp/ has had, plentiful discussion about the actual game, Friend Safari threads, givaways, trading

pretty great considering how mediocre XY was

You're retarded.
Very retarded.
Mods are fucking horrible in many different ways. They do things differently every single day.
Sometimes they go crazy and delete things that are in no way "furry" and ban the poster for days. Sometimes they don't show up for hours and things stay up that shouldn't.

However, they will never actually tolerate furshit. The only reason threads like that stay up because they simply aren't here.

How about that panty shot thread that's been up for hours?
Or the pokegirls thread that's started with porn?
They're still up and being actively moderated.

Don't ever act like mods tolerate furfags or that you're the fucking victims here.
>>
>>450942
I meant on /vp/, meta talk here is fine obviously
>>
>>450936
Moot approved RP stuff but he banned furshit.
>>
>>450936
There were some golden times during X/Y indeed, but so many problems too. Those Hilda/Rosa/Bianca/Roxie/Cynthia constant threads, also "Pick your waifu before somebody else does", I remember having several of those filtered at the same time; the constant Smogon threads contesting/agreeing with the heavy load of bans/suspect tests, filled with furious shitposting that also invaded other threads; all the EBIN MEMES REPOSTED NTH TIMES ALREADY XD; all the other furryshit and whatnot; at some point I had about 40 (forty) threads filtered. About half the entire board.
>>
>>450944
They only come when something gets enough reports, since furries wont report other obvious furry posts and threads they wont get deleted.

/vp/ is not moderated, case and point >>>/vp/25280623. It has been 30 hours since this has been posted.

Looks like /vp/ has made it'd decision.

Go back to tumblr and stay there.
>>
>>451038
Didn't the OP admit he was rusing everyone, or was it a ruser that was admitting to be OP?

I couldn't follow that thread.

wow! the thread full of dragon type cocks disagrees with the views of the people here
>>
>>451057
>one poster invalidates a whole thread
I know you're rusing, but some people actually believe this
>>
>>451053
Person claiming to be OP said that the thread was a ruse but that doesn't mean OP here isn't.

Ruser could have been pretending to be the OP here after OP's last thread got deleted.

Either way OP is still a faggot who should become an hero.
>>
>>451023
That thread might possibly be the worst thing I've seen on 4chan in 2016 so far.
>>
>>451067
That's how /vp/ used to be back when it was /b/+pokemon
>>
>>451068
It only strengthens my resolve to see /vp/ righted and brought back to at least some minor amount of quality.
>>
>>451071
Nope, this anon >>451038 >>451058 says its all over, we've lost.
>>
>>451072
Do you think I'll quiver to one defeat? A defeat that's arguable if it's even a defeat because two-thirds of that thread were furry/Gary/Nazi posting and another fourth was trying to discern whether OP was a rusemaster or not?

We've seen progress be made from these threads. I'm the anti-RP poster, and TRRP was heavily protected by the mods to the extent that you would get warnings for reporting it, but one /qa/ thread took away that stability (even if it's been coming back due to either mod apathy or a mod getting bribed). Change and improvement are never impossible, and we can't buckle on our ideals; we have to keep at it until either the board is saved or until its quality becomes so low that Hiro deletes it. I consider the latter a bad end so I'm going to keep striving to fix it gradually (as opposed to the OP of that thread being blunt and demanding everything at once, assuming he wasn't rusing).

Don't lose hope, anon.
>>
>>450831
Yes containment boards work.
/mlp/ worked, /vp/ worked and to a certain degree, even /pol/ worked.
If any of those would stop existing, hell would break loose.
>>
>>451120
Well [s4s] certainly didn't work, I swear shitposting only rose since its creation. I'm not the kind of guy who calls everything I don't like /pol/ but it tends to spread across the boards. /vp/ you have a point I guess, I do see /v/ Pokémon threads but you're right that it's a lot less than it could be.

I guess it's more hit-and-miss, but considering we already had a blanket ban on furries outside /b/ I didn't and still don't see the benefit of giving them a home on 4chan, it will only welcome them.
>>
>>451122
IIRC s4s was meant as a joke and stayed because moot felt entertained.

I think that the problem with /vp/ is 1. a lack of moderation in the first place, 2. a not well or not at all defined rule of what makes a pokemon pic furry and 3. no restriction on certain threads like Gardevoir threads.
They should get a weekly restriction like similar threads on other boards.
>>
You know, there's a point where something like janitors might be a welcomed thing when you have ongoing things like this that happens constantly in threads by one guy most of the time.

Number 2 is a good point.

In my opinion, the line for "furry" is crossed when a Pokémon has humanlike features that its species normally doesn't (like breasts) or is more humanshaped than normal.

To elaborate on that second point, look at Gardevoir. The breasts generally give away whether a Gardevoir pic is furry, but let's think about other features. Gardevoir has a blank face with no nose, an unnaturally thin and not-curvy-at-all body, long sticklike legs that come to points, thick arms, etc. If someone posts a picture of Gardevoir with a curvy waist and well-defined legs, I'd say that crosses the line into "furry." It might not even be something worth reporting because it's subtle, but if you had to point me at the image and ask me "examine this closely, would you call this furry?" I'd probably say yes.

>inb4 that one Gardevoir defender who always goes "but Gardevoir doesn't have fur so it can't be furry! I'm not a furry for masturbating to it!"
>>
>>451142
Hey, at least its not fur faggotry.
Baby steps, anon.

>>451145
Have you ever seen some of the mental gymnastics that those guys do to say its not furry?
I mean being a furfag is one thing but being completely in denial about your fetish is another.

No the biggest problem is that you people care too much. /vp/ is a half dead board, what do you think you're going to accomplish besides making it even more dead?

I'll take a slow board with decent-quality threads over a fast board with nothing but shitposts, and I'm sure anyone that isn't a redditor who thinks every 4chan board is [s4s] agrees.
>>
>>451075
TRRP got protected because Moot himself said they were okay when they asked him.

If you weren't such a newfag you'd know that.
>>
>>451166
Why should I care about what some random tripfag has to say? Next you'll start quoting buttscab.
>>
>>451162
No

>>451165
How about we just eliminate /vp/ completely and give you all back to /v/ or shove you into /vg/
>>
This >>451167 is actually a correct opinion to hold, who cares what Moot said in the past.
Although I personally don't have a problem with TRRP as long as it stays contained.
>>

Stop trolling please, it doesn't help the discussion at all.

I would rather see the board deleted than the state it is now

>>451173
>>451174
95% of regulars in the wifi general thread all an hero'd and some guy named injectorbro came in and started handing out perfect pokemon. There are not enough oldfags left in that thread to drive him out so they started splitting the thread.

I honestly don't know if he has some kind of vendetta against /wfg/, doing it for the lulz, or believes it doesnt matter where you get your pokemon because it in end its all the same data.
He's causing a shit storm either way and funniest part is he is breaking zero rules unlike the other offending threads mentioned here.
>>
>>451176
We wouldn't have all these imposters if everyone wasn't trying to be somebody
>>
>>451171
It is a valid explanation why TRRP was immune for years though.

Really I don't have problem with them either, they don't post porn, furshit, or anything like that.

>>451172
We're having a discussion here? No the loudest person here is a zealot acting like this is the final crusade and that he's going to be the savior of /vp/.
>>
>>451177
I believe it breaks the catch 'em all rule, as he is not actually capturing.
>>
>>451177
>I would rather see the board deleted than the state it is now

To be honest, I agree, I'm pretty sick of the way things are.

I would miss /heg/ (though /vr/'s hack thread can accomodate the first two Gens at least) but discussion on the games themselves is usually better on /v/ than /vp/. Fuck /vg/ though I'm not touching that place with a forty-foot pole.
>>
>>451177
have you guys tried mass reporting him?
>>
>>451177
I don't see the problem with injectorbro. He clearly states that the pokemon he hands out are hacked and nobody is forced to take them from him.
>>451178
But again, this is what tripcodes are for
>>451179
Saying /vp/ should return to /v/ is not worthy of discussion though, /v/ would be hell on earth if this would happen.

Post quality is also more important than post quantity. This is proven by /v/ alone.

I think the /real/ thread was just deleted.
Did the mods finally listen?
Do the Gardevoir threads next.

>>451182
If you're sick of the way things are then you've been sick of /vp/ since it was created.
>>
>>451185
>He clearly states that the pokemon he hands out are hacked
he impersonates people and uses their SIDs
>>
>>451182
>but discussion on the games themselves is usually better on /v/ than /vp/
Guess how that would turn out once /vp/ is deleted.
Please use your brain.
>>
>>451186
Shh, when something like this happens we should usually just take it as a quiet victory instead of gloating, no need to make the mods question their decision. I mean you can mention Gardevoir threads but to chain the two events like that is probably a bad idea.
>>
>>451185
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with injectorbro.
My only regret is that he wasn't doing his things when cancerous fucks like Ravi were hanging around /wfg/
>>
>>451190
Convince me not to make one myself then... give me a good reason besides it makes you upset.
>>
>>451188
He doesn't impersonate anyone, just because injectorbro gave me a perfect japanese shiny ditto with dawnys TID and SID doesn't mean he claims to be dawny
>>
>>451190
It was most likely OP again anyway
>>
>>451192
it'll get deleted again :^)
>>
>>451189
These people aren't using their brain, they're using their feels.

Here's a fun fact, most of the mods and janitors are in the US and have to sleep at night and the ones who aren't have better things to do than ban stuff people don't like, they're too busy trying to ban illegal and openly against the rules stuff on more important boards.
>>
>>451177

Both posts were by me, I fucked up linking the middle thread.

Oh, and...

>95% of regulars in the wifi general thread all an hero'd.

I'm an oldfag, but I stayed in other threads instead of going off to Skype.

>>451184

I have in the past, got a 1-day ban for "abusing" the report function.

The mods should know by now that he's only doing this just to get attention.

>>451185
>>451188

The other problems is that he's trying to combine two threads (/wfg/ and /ekx/, but I haven't an /ekx/ thread in months) that were fine being separate and the lack of respect towards how people play their games.

>>451193
>just because injectorbro gave me a perfect japanese shiny ditto with dawny's TID and SID.

And there's another problem I have with him...
