Oh boy, another day, another shitpost spree on /vp/.
Yesterday it was some faggot spamming "muh jelly" memes and today it's threads with Gardevoir porn.
We had janitor applications.
I know for a fact that people applied for /vp/.
Why the fuck does moderation continue to treat /vp/ like a red-headed stepchild?
I mean honestly, what the fuck is it going to take to get moderation's attention here? It's not even difficult, just have someone browsing the board. It's not hard, it's a fast board, but it's like the current moderation thinks that ignoring the problem will make it go away or that "lol fuck /vp/". Either do your jobs or get someone who will. You are literally the American Congress of moderation when it comes to /vp/.

Seems like thats the root of most of your problems.

>Why the fuck does moderation continue to treat /vp/ like a red-headed stepchild?
/vp/ is an /mlp/-tier containment apparatus.
>"We want to talk about anime on /v/ and videogames on /a/ and cardgames on all of the above, but never on /toy/ or, /tg/ and there's nothing you can do to stop us! NEENER NEENER NEENER!"
You got put in a box. You're under the rug. We do not care about your concerns.
>>501868
I've been on /vp/ since it was created in 2010 as /tr/
>>501926
Because people fetishize it and get neckbeardy and out of control and it is a source of abuse that is difficult to handle because it is technically pokemon.
Lucario is hated for similar reasons.
>>502021
And when you neglect your containment sites, they grow, and fester, and eventually they spill out.
Or are you blissfully unaware of how much utter shit /r9k/ has spread across this site by being a failed containment board?
>>501869
I literally applied just for /vp/ on the basis that I'd stay there and bother no one. I hope they haven't been chosen yet because otherwise /vp/ is fucked.

The Azelf thread is from known ban-evader, the "image" filename is a good indication of that. The OP image itself is also cropped porn.

>>503781
Bumping this.
>>503799
They're pretty bad, but the western fanbase has gotten a lot quieter in recent years despite Touhou itself not really slowing down. I suspect this is because many of said autists moved on to MLP.
Annoyingly, this also results in a lot of "Ahh, at last Touhou is finally dead" posts on /jp/ but fuck /jp/ anyway. The only people who go to that board are shitposters and ERPers.

Please understand the amount of users on this website and how many applications were probably sent in, which have to undergo an extensive process on top of that. I haven't seen a single increase in moderation on boards I post on, so it's probably still going to take a while before newjannies start their shifts.
How in sweet fuck is this STILL up despite being a blatant fetish thread?
>>>/vp/26040326
>>503787
It has, actually. There was never a general but if you ever visited hack threads you'd seldom-often see Touhoumon be brought up.
TPDP just happened to get super popular and made its own general.

Can something be done about the owl spammer in general? It's clearly a samefag, every single post he makes either uses the word denialfag or wottergate, if not both. He makes thread after thread about his fake leak and spergs out over everyone that doesn't believe it. I'm positive he's spammed enough to break a rule.

Why do you care so much? They're limited to their general and they aren't half as annoying as the "leakers" and other, more annoying (and more prominent), fanbases (MLP, Undermeme, JoJofags, etc).
>>511047
This, /vp/ is one of the few boards with justifiable generals.
>>511054
The game is essentially a Pokemon fangame, it's just centered around a different fanbase. It has the mechanics of a Pokemon game, just with a couple of different typings and a whole new Pokedex. In addition to that, most of the moves are just renamed moves from regular Pokemon games. Honestly, that shit's even more Pokemon-related than all of the "leaks" that we've been getting, at least it's not just blatant, boring shitposting.
>>511059
>It has the mechanics of a Pokemon game
no the fuck it doesn't
>>511059

The same can be said about a lot of other games, Pocket Mortys being one of 'em.
And do you know where they end up? They go to /v/ because they have nothing to do with characters from the series.
Just because mechanics are the same (or even similar to it) that doesn't make it a Pokemon game.
>Honestly, that shit's even more Pokemon-related than all of the "leaks" that we've been getting, at least it's not just blatant, boring shitposting.
Not to defend shitposting, but that's all about an OFFICIAL upcoming game instead of a fanmade one.
>>511059
let's start with a Q&A for /qa/ and /tpdp/
>do you call the creatures you catch "pokemon"?
no, they're considered "puppets" instead
>is it a ROMhack?
no
>does the story involve pokemon?
no
>do the creatures you catch resemble "fakemon"?
no
if there's no to all of these questions, then it's not really a "fan game" worthy of discussion on /vp/, now is it?
>>511067
All right, fair enough. Where would you suggest the threads go then? /jp/? /vg/? /v/? From what I remember, /jp/ didn't take too kindly to the threads and got rid of them. /v/ would probably tell the people in the threads to go back go /jp/ or /vp/ and I have no idea how /vg/ would react, but I'm sure that it's about the same as /v/. /vp/ is currently the safest place for the threads; regardless of what people may think of them, the mods tend to leave them alone unless people whine about them.
So I guess that if you want them gone, keep complaining about them and I'm sure that you'll make some leeway. But where can the people who actually care about this shit go? What happens when if don't want to abandon 4chan to talk about the game that we enjoy?
>>511082
>I have no idea how /vg/ would react, but I'm sure that it's about the same as /v/.
/vg/ is fine, if they can have an Undertale General thread there without issue then so can TPDP.
>>511077
I love ROMhacks but I don't see how that's mandatory. If it were made in Essentials it would be just as fine, so I don't see much difference between that and an original engine.
>>511157
>i don't see how pokemon in a pokemon fangame should be mandatory
>>501851
Why do they shit on ORAS so much? It's just as trash as any other Pokemon because they're all the same.
Honest question: What separates TPDP from the romhacks it was based off of (i.e. the Touhou Puppet Play romhacks, of which the original ones were made by the guy who went on to make TPDP)? That's a Pokemon romhack; would you consider discussion of that to also be not acceptable for /vp/? At what point do you stop considering it a Pokemon romhack/fangame and start considering it Touhou-related then? And what about fangames that use fakemon, like the Clover project or Pokemon Sage?
I'm fine if the mods want the thread elsewhere even though I frequently post there, but at the very least there should be some more solid guidelines for what belongs on /vp/ and not some other forum. It doesn't have to be some sort of crazy slippery slope in which anything that can remotely be connected to Pokemon is allowed or discussing anything not official Pokemon stuff is completely forbidden, but there should at least be some guidelines.
And also better moderation in general; I don't even look at the rest of /vp/ anymore because it's usually a complete mess.
>>511172
TPDP doesn't even have any sort of fakemon.
TPDP doesn't have the same engine as Pokemon, nor does it's current engine play in a similar fashion.
TPDP is just an excuse for secondary faggots to fly in and kick /vp/ while it's down.
>>511185
I don't go to their threads, but I don't really see how a fanbase that sits in their own general and discusses a game is supposed to be such a problem when the rest of /vp/ is drowning in owlthreads.
>>511182
I have, but I'm talking about the original TPP rom hacks as well. Those are a romhack of actual Pokemon games, would discussion of them be considered acceptable since they're running on the same engine as the real deal?
>>511185
If it's seriously that large of an issue, then we should just get some solid guidelines for what belongs on /vp/, and that way this sort of thing wouldn't happen again.
>>511166
Is Sage not Pokémon since it uses an all-Fakemon dex?
>>511185
>fly in and kick /vp/ while it's down.
You act like they're doing this to spite specifically you. That they're doing it to deliberately trigger people. I'm positive that isn't the case, they're just discussing a Pokémon fangame.
>>511226
It sounds like you're getting autistic over the fact that they don't specifically use the word "Pokémon" anywhere. This is pretty much Fakemon Moemon being called something else.
>>511077
>do you call the creatures you catch "pokemon"?
who cares what they are called? moemons waren't called pokemons either. and at least you still catch and collect, unlike in certain fangames like type wild or smogon.
>romhack
it isn't a hack but its based on the game so good enough.
>involve pokemon
it does, even if the are called puppets.
>creatures you catch resamble fakemons
evs, ivs, 4 moves, types, stab, status effects... i donnu you tell me.
>>511250
>who cares what they are called? moemons waren't called pokemons either. and at least you still catch and collect, unlike in certain fangames like type wild or smogon.
Here's the thing, Moemon still used the names of the Pokemon themselves and the design of the Pokemon. This doesn't occur with TPDP.
>it isn't a hack but it's based on the game so good enough.
See the other point posted in >>511067, a lot of Pocket Mortys threads were deleted due to not being based on the same engine as Pokemon games. It counts in the eyes of the mods.
>it does, even if the are called puppets.
See the first example, it's the names and designs.
>>511047

>>511259
>Here's the thing, Moemon still used the names of the Pokemon themselves and the design of the Pokemon. This doesn't occur with TPDP.
sure it did. however, the question was 'ware the creatues called pokemon' not 'ware the creatures based on pokemon'. and moemons ware called moemons, not pokemons. all i showed is that the question is irrelevant, and your comment right now does nothing to prove otherwise.
>it counts in the eyes of the mods
Why should it? Please notice, some mods would let it slide so the fact that other mods wouldn't doesn't mean all mods think like this. so the question is not 'Would the mods allow it' but 'should the mods allow it'.
>names and designs
So if knock off is called 'panic call' it isn't pokemon related? if wobbufet is called 'satori' its deletable?
>>510909
I don't expect you to understand sanctimony anyway. Peace out.
>>511226
I'm not surprised if the only rebuttal you have are strawmen arguments, yet take pride in owlposting.
I say TPDP general should just call itself "Touhoumon General" and include the ROMhacks that few people will talk about because of TPDP usurping most of them in quality (and they probably already did talk about the hacks in the threads if they wanted to). There, now it's a discussion of a series of games that are mostly done in the Pokémon engine and the TPDP discussion has a frame in which it is nearly identical to said ROMhacks in a lot of ways.
>>511579
I like the tisted way you think.
>>511188
Easy targets are easy targets.
Someone's got to pay for the shitposting.
>>511059
I guess by that logic that Rick and Morty game is allowed on /vp/ as well
>>511675
Already mentioned in the following posts, hoss.
>>511679
So I guess we can have a Rick and Morty general on /vp/? Sweet I'll go make one
>>511686
how does Touhou?
>>511688
I meant the rick and morthy game
tpdp have evil team, e4 and ev/iv among the rest
how loyal is R&M game to the original pokemon games?
>>511690
Not very at all, especially given that game's type system is literally Rock, Paper, and Scissors, the Mortys are all very similar in design, and it's really backwards in comparison to the regular Pokemon games. There isn't much to discuss about it at all so if a general was made it would die off rapidly.
For the love of god can something be done about owlshitpostspam?
/vp/ is practically unusable with the constant owlspam, threadcleaner, and other shitposters turning /vp/ into their personal shitting ground.

Thread self-moderation, proper of /a/. Janitors made a mistake and purged the correct thread, leaving that incorrect one behind. So, shit thread was used up until bump limit and subsequently discarded and expunged from history by the thread's regular users. No problem in there whatsoever.

Just because 2-3 of you colossal faggots don't like the OP doesn't mean you can flood the thread. Everything was fine for 200 replies until you shat it up.
Thankfully, a moderator purged most of your shitposts along with your unnecessary new thread.

well that's a lie
As evidenced by >>520664 this individual knows nothing about the thread's workings.
It's almost as if he's trying to ruin the thread's natural course. Might want to take a look at his allegiance.
/padt/ is proud of having up-to-date and correct information in its OP posts for newcomers to use. Vandalism has never been taken lightly since it's just but another way to shitpost.

holy shit the irony
PLEASE REMOVE MEWTIST/RICHARD
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
I'm tired of that literal underage coming in and ruining every discussion. And ignoring his bullshit is not even an option anymore because he's achieved meme status, so people keep responding to him, to the point that every thread he posts in is instantly and inevitably derailed.
I know he's been banned before, months ago, but he evaded his ban and for a while tried to keep his shitposting down, but now he's more insufferable than ever. It's making already shitty board even worse.

You could always ask the Tailsposter if his script's ready.

This one thread has one of the pastebins vandalised

so it can be taken care of. The rest of the bunch already moved on to another thread.
Watafak? How the fuck has this not been deleted yet for /lgbt/-tier shenanigans?
Even the idiots supporting the thread say they're just there to shitpost!
