>Flags still on /pol/
Remove them but keep the ID's. There is no reason to have flags on /pol/ anymore. It's not /int/, but /pol/. ID's are good to prevent samefagging but having both is superfluous & flags compromise the anonymity of a poster (i.e. the sole reason people come on 4chan) because they enjoy being anonymous.
IDs should be optional for the same reason.
You want to dig in for a long discussion/debate? ID up. Otherwise it's hardly anonymous.

"i cannot into vpn and i want to shitpost/shill/false flag/astroturf" - you
There's really no reason for them and they actually make the discourse on /pol/ worse.
>>467381
Thing is, /pol/ isn't mature enough to handle not having IDs. Without them, they can and have derailed discussions by samefagging.

>the anonymity of a poster (i.e. the sole reason people come on 4chan)
That's not the sole reason people come on 4chan. I, and many others, come here because the rules are more lax than many discussion forums so I can speak my mind without my post getting deleted. On that note, you are a retard.

Oh look it's this thread for nth time
I can sit here and state that flags have unequivocally made discourse on /pol/ worse.
More memes & /int/-tier shitposting, banter, etc. than ever. Not that /pol/ was ever a good board anyways as at one point in time it had no rules (at all) and was basically /b/ 2.0 for Stormfags and filled with cuck porn.

this is about one of the worst posts I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not being hyperbolic there.

Lol, shut the actual fuck up OP.
Wow, Pajeet, you really don't stop giving up.
I chased you off of this board months ago.
You came back.
I chased you off again.
And yet you still come back.
It's like your whole country. You go to the shitting street, you come back, you go back to the shitting street, you come back, and yet you still go to the shitting street.
I've already proven that you spammed ten threads at once and that you bump them periodically. I've already proven that you live in a timezone associated with the Indian subcontinent. Everybody has ruined your threads, you've clearly been banned dozens of times, and yet you just won't give up. Even when you are told dozens of times that this board is not /q/, you still keep posting.
And I remind you.
Poo belongs in the loo.
Like your opinion.
The a/pol/calypse was so much fun

flags encourage /b/ tier shit posting and it just made /pol/ a little bit more shittier
they should be removed ASAP
>>469507
whats the point of this post exactly? You are a bigger shitposter than a /pol/lack
>>467381
I agree with this.
