Tell your stupid mods to stop deleting eroge threads on /v/. There's nothing in the rules stating they can't be there so long as the images posted remain safe for work and they've been on /v/ ever since it was created. Things have only changed as a few mods have taken out a vendetta over the last year.
Maybe, just maybe, porn is better suited to a porn board. /h/ perhaps?
>>570674
They are video games. There are many subjects on this website that are suited to more than one board.
>>570675
Global rules overrule board rules.
>>570674
All porn video games are video games, and as such all of them are suitable for /v/. Only a fraction of porn video games are suitable for /h/, due to content issues. If you wanted to keep porn video games off of /v/ you would have to split them between /h/, /d/, /co/, and /hc/, because of differences in content, origin, and art style.
>>570678
There is nothing in the global rules that states that eroge can not be posted on /v/.
>>570679
>There is nothing in the global rules that states that eroge can not be posted on /v/.
Global rule 5 called. It wants to break up with you.
>>570683
You may want to read that again, champ. Because it says nothing about the discussion of eroge, only that NSFW content may not be posted. Which leads me back to what I said in the first place, which is that so long as the images remain safe for work, there is no rule against eroge on /v/.
You may also want to take your retarded newfag ass over to /vg/, which is also a blue board, and note that there are currently 6 threads about eroge active.

And last, but not least:

Could you perhaps explain this discrepancy?
>>570674
/a/nons HATE him!
This faggot insists hentals can only be discussed on porn boards!
>>570678
Global rules are just guidelines.
>>570684
It's well known that mods/janitors don't care about /vg/.
>>570669
I agree with you. It seems like more effort than it's worth.
Having said that, it's also reasonable that it should go on /h/ like first anon said.
Current ad banner on /v/.
>>571161
There's no reason it shouldn't be allowed on /v/ as long as the images stay SFW and discussion remains focused on games. /a/ is allowed to have sad panda threads and the occasional H-manga thread provided the images stay SFW. Been this way for years.
>>571347
>discussing porn is SFW
Get a job.
>>571473
Yes, it is.
>>571559
Go get an average job and make sure you talk to your boss about porn all the time. Tell me again after a week or two.
>>571560
I think it'd go just about as well as trying to discuss video games with him all the time.
Posting on 4chan is not talking to your coworkers, retard.
>>571561
The concept of "SFW" is lost on you. The reasoning for it being in place hasn't even crossed your mind.
>>571563
The reasoning is so that someone glancing over your shoulder in a public area isn't going to see porn on your screen when you're on a blue board and not looking for that.
There is a very significant gap between pornographic images and people discussing in text video games that have sex in them.
>>571564
I knew you'd miss it. There's more to rule 5 than not embarrassing yourself in public.
Most of the time you just use this excuse to post semilewds
>>571570
Ostensibly the other reason is to prevent the boards from being flooded with porn dumps, which you can clearly see has never been the case on /v/ or /a/.
So pray tell, what other reason does this mysterious global rule 5 hide within its unspoken depths?
>>571579
Give it some thought.
>>571621
>Shit, he called me out, I'd better pretend there's something else but I won't tell him, this will cover up my inability to provide a counter-argument
Good discussion.
>>571626
It's because lewd stuff makes a mess of every thread it's in. Causes people to act like idiots in general. It's unneeded and unwelcome by most people in most situations. But you have already decided that you can't be wrong, so you will go about saying how wrong I am despite the shitheaded posts you see crowing lewd things on every board 24/7.
>>571634
And yet someone /a/ manages to keep its head without this being a problem. Hell, /v/ generally doesn't act like this either, least of all in eroge threads.
You're just pointing to examples of negative outcomes and pretending that there can't possibly be any other scenario.
>>571663
Of course threads made for sharing porn belong on /a/! Where else could it possibly go? It's not like 4chan has any boards for animated porn. Porn games on a worksafe board? Yes, that's a perfect fit even though you can't post all the images that are what the game is supposed to be about (porn). A complete porn game thread without porn pictures (the main reason why people care about those games at all).
Yes, this makes complete sense!
What's that? Make every board NSFW? Sure! Who cares about people that don't want to see that stuff! After all, the only opinions that matter are the ones that I agree with.
>>571664
>Yes, that's a perfect fit even though you can't post all the images that are what the game is supposed to be about (porn). A complete porn game thread without porn pictures (the main reason why people care about those games at all).
Yes, this happens all the time. And it does make sense, because they are video games. And video games have gameplay.
Artificial Academy 2 and Sengoku Rance are hardly popular just for the porn, they're popular for the gameplay elements.
>What's that? Make every board NSFW?
There's nothing like supporting your argument with an absurd leap in logic that no one ever claimed. /a/ is still considered a worksafe board because its users aren't retarded.
>>571676
They still fit better where they can be fully discussed.
And just talking about a game that is about porn on a board that is SFW makes little sense.
>because its users aren't retarded
That isn't true of any popular board. /h/ exists /a/, learn to use the boards that were literally, originally made for you
>>571678
>They still fit better where they can be fully discussed.
Which is on /v/, because they're video games, and as already repeatedly mentioned, they would need to be split between several different NSFW boards due to the content.
>And just talking about a game that is about porn on a board that is SFW makes little sense.
It makes just as much sense as discussing H-manga and H-anime on /a/. Because /a/ is for anime and manga, which those are included in, much like how /v/ is for video games, which porn games are a part of. There is no logic in allowing one and not the other.
>/h/ exists /a/, learn to use the boards that were literally, originally made for you
And now you're just arguing against Hiro's own decision that was backed by the users of /a/ following nipplemod's shitstorm.
>>571681
hen·tai
henˈtī/
noun
a subgenre of the Japanese genres of manga and anime, characterized by overtly sexualized characters and sexually explicit images and plots.
http://www.4chan.org/rules#h
/h/ was literally, originally for anime and manga porn. You are dismissed.
>>571682
And /a/ existed before /h/ was made, so your point is rather moot. Especially given that as you were just told, /a/ has specifically allowed it following backlash against nipplemod.
You can cry all you want about other boards existing but that doesn't prevent content from being applicable and acceptable for several boards. Much like /vp/ was made to contain pokemon posting, it doesn't mean you can't have any threads about pokemon on /v/.
>/h/ was made for /a/
>still posts /h/ stuff on /a/
>he talks about porn on SFW boards and thinks there's no other way it can be done
Basic organization is ignored to defend tradition ("board culture"). Board culture is more important than what a board is actually about. This is why this website is shit. Defending stupid little things that make each board act like its own website.The epitome of "it's OK when ___ does it".
4chan can't be good unless people realize 4chan is a website and not a collection of websites.
>>571691
You're taking an extreme approach where you think everything should only go on the board that it's made for. This is obviously fucking absurd.
/vr/ was made for retro games. You think /v/ shouldn't be allowed to talk about retro games as a result? What a fucking joke.
You can extrapolate this same mentality onto almost every board on the site. /c/ and /cm/ are for cute girls and guys, so there shouldn't be any cute girls or guys on other boards. /e/ is for ecchi, so no remotely lewd content on other boards. /gif/ and /wsg/ are for gifs and webms, so I guess we can take those functions away from the rest of the site. /k/ is for guns, so there's no reason to have any threads on /v/ about games with heavy focus on guns. /o/ is for automobiles, so there's no need to have threads about racing games on /v/, those games can go on /o/.
Are you getting the picture yet?
4chan has speciality boards, yes, and those boards exist for their specific content. But the other boards, such as /a/ and /v/, are by definition more general in subject matter. I already gave you the /vp/ example. Splitting everything up into exclusive discussion on individual boards isn't just retarded and unrealistic, it fragments the entire site's community into niche groups with no allowance for varying subject matter. You need to realise that certain boards can have a variety of content posted on them and speciality boards do not prevent content from being posted elsewhere. /mlp/ is the only exception to this rule and it is specifically noted as a result.
>>571730
Video game generals should have been banned. /vr/ shouldn't have been made.
/c/ and /cm/ were not made to house NSFW material. NSFW material is for NSFW boards.
If the threads on /v/ are about video game guns then that's fine, but if they want to go in-depth about real gun mechanics then they should take it to /k/.
Racing video games are not the same thing as talking about the inner mechanics of real cars. Those threads talk about game mechanics in racing games.
NSFW is a touchy subject that has been given many boards so as to not encroach on the subjects of boards and the comforts of some people. Yet people like you utterly disregard what others want by trying to force it on all boards. You have many boards for what you want. Show some respect for other people for once.
>>570674
I agree. We should also get rid of ero anime and Sad Panda threads on /a/
>>571892
>NSFW is a touchy subject that has been given many boards so as to not encroach on the subjects of boards and the comforts of some people.
What a stupid argument. There has been a hide thread function for years, and nobody is pushing to allow NSFW images to be posted. The only way the discussion of eroge will encroach on people's comfort is by them flying into an autistic rage at the mere site of people discussing something they don't like, and entering the threads themselves.
>You have many boards for what you want.
No, we don't, because as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, porn video games are all video games, while porn itself has to be split among many different boards depending on subject matter.
>>571942
Once again you show more interest in preserving stupid and selfish traditions over using boards that were made for what you want. You can't seem to understand that porn video games are not safe for a work environment and should not be allowed on work safe boards. Very simple changes would be needed but you still go to the ends of the earth to trying to defend porn discussions on work safe boards. I get the feeling that you don't care about what is right, it's all about who is right, and before you even made this thread you already decided that you are right and that you couldn't possibly be in the wrong.
>>572038
There is nothing not worksafe about the act of discussion. This is the basis that /a/'s sadpanda threads have existed on all this time.
You on the other hand are more interested in segregating the board into small boards that all only have what you want on them, with no regard for the site's community or how its users have operated for the many years it has existed.
>>572115
Now you've shifted your defense away from what the OP is about, and towards defending lazy and poorly moderated /a/ culture in general.
I'm done with you. You can have the rest of this thread.
PS: Self-shitposting isn't self-moderation, it's just feeding trolls.
>>572250
>towards defending lazy and poorly moderated /a/ culture in general.
This was already addressed, /a/'s minor allowance of NSFW content was specifically decided by Hiro and the users following backlash against nipplemod. There is no reason that /v/ should not be the same. You are the one specifically arguing against Hiro's decision.
The problem here is that there are no rules against eroge on /v/. If mods are to continue deleting eroge on /v/, then there should be a rule stating that eroge are not allowed to be discussed on /v/. So long as no rule exists, mods have no basis deleting the threads. This isn't hard to understand.
>>571564
>The reasoning is so that someone glancing over your shoulder in a public area isn't going to see porn on your screen when you're on a blue board and not looking for that.
No that isn't. The only purpose of the fucking blue board shit is to stop porn dumping and that's it. That was always its purpose and should always be. 4chan has always functioned with nsfw content in every single corner and it never caused any problems until retards came along. Fucking rulefags begone.
>>571691
>>/h/ was made for /a/
This is not the case, fucktard. /h/ and shit was made at the dawn of the site not for any board, but because fucking boorus didn't exist. They weren't made to remove content from any board like you think boards are for, but a place to dumb shit because there was no alternative. They aren't discussion boards, they are dumping board. 4chan isn't a traditional forum, just because it has a board, it doesn't mean it can't go elsewhere. Everything for all purposes can be discussed everywhere and on multiple boards. There is no restrictions here like you want to think there is. Fuck off and actually learn a bit about the site instead of forcing your retarded ideas that no one here has ever liked.
4chan isn't the place for 'basic organization'. Boards culture is more important than everything else, because this site is a fucking community, not your dumb autist forum. It's that culture that made people like going here, not rulefagging. It's that culture that made people not want to use those shitty websites that you want 4chan to become.
Only /mlp/ is a containment board, everything else is free to go where people desire it to go as long as discussion permits and people enjoy.
