Would /pol/ be improved or worsened with the removal of flags?
This may be odd for many /pol/acks to hear, but there used to be a time where /pol/ did not have nation flags, and it was much better back then.
Removing them would improve the board, obviously, but not by much. There'd still be the same shitty threads you see today.
Net neutral.
>>549555
Nice trips but it was the same back then once you control for the 2016 election cycle. Flags didn't make Trump a presidential candidate. Every other conceivable thing falls to the wayside when you look at the Trump.
I mean, I think you're agreeing with me but this is 4chan so I'm arguing.
>>549555
no
>>549549
/pol/ is perfect as it is.
Keep flags
Remove /pol/
Better reinforcement of global rule 3 will do /pol/ a world of good. Until then flags give a good indicator of posts that can be avoided.
>>549562
This.
Except delete flags too
Bring back selectable joke flags

Idgaf about opinions. I just love the lulz. And talking about deleting /pol/ gets the best luls. Imagine the butthurt if /pol/ got deleted. /pol/sters would be so TRIGGERED
it'd stay more or less the same. the shitposting would just take on a different form.
>>549579
Imagine if we went back to lynching commies. The triggering would be tremendous.

you sound triggered. this is why we need to delete /pol/

seconding this. moot went to the effort of making the novelty flags especially for /pol/ and the code has been sitting unused for a year and a half now.
Pajeet, you really don't learn, do you.
Eight months.
That's how long you have been spamming anti-flag threads.
That's how long you have been crying about being called Pajeet.
That's how long you have been crying about being told to poo in a loo.
That's how long you have claimed that /pol/ was better without flags when you shit-covered ass wasn't even around back when /pol/ didn't have those flags.
That's how long you have treated this board like /q/, further supporting the theory that you weren't on 4chan before 2015.
That's how long the mods have been laughing at your shit-covered ass.
That's how long I have been blowing you the fuck out.
That's how long you have deluded yourself into thinking that /pol/ is a board for family-friendly politics discussion
That's how long you have refused to admit that you samefag-bump your threads.
That's how long the mods should ban you from 4chan for being such a faggot.
That's how long it's been since your last solid bowel movement, because your family can only afford boiled water, mushrooms and habanero's to make Mother Manjula's Bargain Curry
That's how long you have been buying proxies and VPNs just to pretend to be other people
That's how long you have left to live, because you've passed your life expectancy and you have hepatitus because you drank river water
That's how long you have left before you go to work in your call center so that you can ring up technology-impaired Americans and teach them to use the Start button.
>>549549
Neither.
>>549579
Many believe /pol/ is a containment board
if /pol/ is deleted, the nazis won't just be gone, it's just destroying the walls keeping them in
They'll go and take over the internet
seriously though, let's delete /pol/. It will solve the underage problem.
>>550415
/pol/ is crawling all over the entire fucking internet now thanks to this shithole. It's time to burn their hive and hope they die off.
Make them optional imho
>>549549
no
what i dont get however is that flag addon that shows what city you live in, it kind of defeats the purpose of an anonymous imageboard, doesn't it?
Remove flags
They add nothing and they encourage low hanging fruit for "bants"
Removing them would make peop have to think harder than "poo in lol" or "build wall"
>>550595
>he thinks that would work
We will go full fucking Sampson option, not a single board on this site would be free from our warpath.
>>550678
Remember you tried that during /pol/harbour and you couldn't even take over fucking /mlp/
>>550692
This, it was a hilarious failure and it showed how pathetic that "samson option" was
Deleting /pol/ wouldn't have that much repercussions at all, maybe /pol/ acks will migrate to cripplechan
>>550692
>>550721
Every night, after a hard day dealing with retards, I come home and check for the latest "delete /pol/" posts on /qa/. I'm never, ever disappointed. You fucks never, ever give up and your impotent pissing and moaning makes my heart smile.
>>550727
Oh, we'll get your board deleted. You want to know why? Because we are the most intelligent minds on 4chan. We know this website. We might not be mods or janitors, but we know this place more than all the mods and janitors combined. We got /wsr/, /aco/ and /his/ made. We've curbed your racist, sexist remarks to some degree and we don't plan on stopping there. We have had word filters implemented, and because of us, this website is now safer for people to post on without being judged, or called a f****t, or told to poo in loo. And who are you, /pol/? You're a bunch of sexist, racist, neo-Nazi anti-Semitic losers who masturbate to Trump and praise a fucking Reddit frog. We are the opposite of you. Some of us are members of MENSA, some of us work in the highest fields of science. What's your IQ? 93? Well guess what, mine is an impressive 152. In fact, your smartest /pol/ user has a smaller IQ than mine. Pretty much everybody on /qa/ who fights for the deletion of your shithole has a higher IQ than your smarter /pol/ user. You think you can beat somebody like us in a battle of the mind? No, you'll go crying back to le Reddit.
So, don't fuck with us. We're merciful enough to give you a chance, buddy. Don't blow it.

you can clearly see this difference by going to 4+4chan /pol/ and compare it to the /pol/ here
its beautiful, /pol/ got so cucked and they don't even notice it, and if someone points it out, they actualy defend it
>>550749
Please keep posting "delete /pol/" in threads, anon. Your tears of impotent rage are like sugar on my tongue. ;^)

Moot actually did good by fucking /pol/ up
>>552385
1. it's "moot", never "Moot".
2. none of the shit that poster listed actually happened
3. /pol/ always had flags, before they were novelty flags and not /int/ flags though.
4. that poster is from 8gag and is biased in the first place
>>549555
True but at the very least you have the "hurdur since you are Canada/india/brazil I don't have to properly argue with you and just spam meme."
You know why /pol/ has flags?
Because Indian, Canadian, Brazilian and Swedish opinions mean fuck all in this world.
That's why we have flags, so that we know we're not being duped by some filthy leaf, cuck, pooinloo or unavela.
>>552448
it's funny because the people who browse /pol/ have opinions that mean fuckall in the real world.
>>552448
>implying shitposters arent proxying as those countries
>>552269
not to mention that he's so fucking unoriginal he has to put "cuck" in his sentence
>>551828
This.
Flags were a failure since day 1. /int/ shills don't want you to know this, but joot introduced flags and IDs as a PUNISHMENT for /pol/ at the exact same moment he removed the CAPTCHA and made a site-wide message telling other boards to spam /pol/. He did this out of pure shameless butthurt after /pol/ exposed him as a cuck being used by some Gawker slut and made him look bad in front of his hipster jew yorker "friends" during all the gamergag faggotry.
Anything that distracts from the content of a post is bad on 4chan. The entire point of anonymous posting is that our "rep" and post history don't come into the argument and we are judged by the content we posted alone. Joot knew IDs and flags would disrupt and effectively neuter /pol/ and distract it from its singular goal of exposing cucks, and he was right.

>>553027

is not that old, you fucking retard
i like how you seem to think that calling moot a cuck over and over was enough to make him drop this site, when we've been calling him a faggot since 2004
only a newfag accuses someone of being a newfag or redditor over stupid shit like this
>>553029
It's interesting how calling him a cuck caused him to fuck up /pol/ and then ragequit, while calling him a faggot did nothing. It's also interesting how calling you a newfag from reddit gets your butt boiling. Methinks the two phenomena are related ;)
/pol/ will never be deleted
>>553152
>calling him a cuck caused him to fuck up /pol/ and then ragequit
Where do you people get this shit?
>>549555
Pretty much this. Every single thread on /pol/ nowdays has degenerated into lame country "banter". Bring back the ideology flags.
>>549549
Nothing can improve /pol/.
>>553160
They get it from KYM and encyclopediadramatica. A lot of Nu/pol/ are reddit transplants from r/TheDonald
it doesn't even matter.
do you know how easy it is to use a vpn manager?
at worst we'll probably see them being used for race baiting.
>>553012
>fuck with the founder/admin of the site

He would be a cuck if he did not troll /pol/ for that
>>553152

yeah it was permanent and totally not a joke like the many times he fucked up /b/ and /v/
>>553152
also i love how your response boils down to "u mad xD"

You can't handle the banter lad?
>>551828
The mods of /pol/ (not Moot) put flags expressly for destroying the board culture because /pol/ was actively brigaded by stormfront and other neo-nazis communities (like /new/ back in 2010). The mods were complaining 24/7 about that on the IRC. Every people that say we should remove the flags and going back to old /pol/ don't understand the situation.
>>553456
>The mods of /pol/
There is no "mods of /pol/", mods are global.
>/pol/ was actively brigaded by Stormfront.
Not since 2012 or so. Stormfronters don't like 4chan because the think everyone here is a weeb neckbeard.
>The mods were complaining 24/7
mods/jannies don't "complain" in the channel, users do.
>remove the flags and going back to old /pol/
Old /pol/ had flags. In fact moot had made custom flags especially coded just for /pol/. If anything we should go back to those.
>>553497
>There is no "mods of /pol/", mods are global.
Every board can be moderate by any mods, but they are still a few mods that go on a few boards.
>Not since 2012 or so. Stormfronters don't like 4chan because the think everyone here is a weeb neckbeard.
>mods/jannies don't "complain" in the channel, users do.
IRC mods are 4chan mods so it's easy to tell. And yes, the mods were complaining about that very much back in 2013/2014.
>Old /pol/ had flags.
You know that I talk about country flags don't be a fagot.
>>553456
Stop making shit up. joot never listened to mods on irc, everything was his decision. Introducing flags and IDs to destroy /pol/ culture was joot's revenge on /pol/ for wrecking his "chances" with that Gawker slut and embarrassing him in front of her hipster "friends".
>>553600
so uh, whatever happened to the epic exodus?
is hotwheels not based anymore? ;^)
>>553603
>typing out uh
How is reddit going?
>>553600
you don't know anything about that you cum-slut faggot
>>553456
And the current election shilling is ok? Look at the copy pasted links at the beginning of each candidates general. No modern /pol/fag came up with those links. Far too official and clean.
>>553600
>he wasnt on /sp/ during the slappening, or anywhere else when moot decided to have some fun at users expense
New. Anyone that thinks moot was actually butthurt is hilariously new. Hes done worse shit to boards he loves. Hell he made all those selectedable ideaology flags for us and everything. Moot went out of his way and hurt his own rep to defend /pol/ many times over the years
>>553810
>Moot went out of his way and hurt his own rep to defend /pol/ many times over the years
Up until /pol/ exposed his plot to be a cuck for a Gawker slut and do her bidding in the hopes of getting in her pants and hanging out with cool hipsters. Once that happened, his butthurt was out of control. That is why /pol/ is STILL shitted up with flags and IDs while all the epic jokes joot has played on other boards got removed after a few days at most. Ever wondered why /b/ no longer has unreadable CSS and horrible looping music but /pol/ has been saddled with garbage permanently?
>>549575
>THEIR OPINIONS ARE WRONG DELETE THEM
Sounds exactly what /pol/tards want to happen in their ideal society.
>>550678
You delusional manchild.
You'd kick and scream for a few weeks before getting butthurt about being told to fuck off from every board you tried to colonise then finally mostly fuck off back to sites like reddit, where you originally came from.
>>551828
>people lurking for actual info
Sperging out with poorly researched infographics is not "lurking for actual info".
>>552416
Calm down you fucking newfag.
It's also "m00t".
Fuck off with your pathetic site wars.
>>553915
that's why almost every time moot posted he'd always spell it as "moot", am i right
>>549549
Flags should be an /int/ only thing, unless /sp/ gets better moderation that lets them have fun.
>>553912
>being this jewish-influenced
>>553870
Maybe if /pol/ didnt host a bunch of obssesive stalkers who had the nerve to post fat moot (and false mother dox)
But collective punishment is the only viable strategy in anonymous imageboard.
