Why is /v/ so shit? Would splitting the board into /vJ/ - Japan & Asia and /vw/ - West help? I think it could. Right now /v/ holds too many people of contrasting opinions. You can't make a thread about a videogame without some smartass entering it wanting to show off how much he hated the game. The board thrives on drama and confrontations. It gets tiresome in the long run. I don't know if it's just videogames that attract the self-centered pricks wanting to show off their opinions or just /v/, but it needs to change. Dividing /v/ could be a way to focus the community that share similar interests and thus slow down on the shitposting. /v/ has a fuck-ton of traffic really. Probably a bit too much for its own good.
>Why is /v/ so shit?
it's full of 14-year olds who think they're too mature and/or intelligent for /b/ but still want to post like they're on /b/.
>Would splitting the board into /vJ/ - Japan & Asia and /vw/ - West help?
no, it would just encourage more east vs. west shitposting.
>/v/ holds too many people of contrasting opinions
an echo chamber or hugbox would be much worse. stop being so booty blasted just because someone said mean things about your favorite game.

Stop thinking that just because people enjoy the same things, it's a "hugbox". I would say that a hugbox where you can talk about the games you enjoy is preferrable than constant shitposting.

No. Kill /vp/ and /vg/, clean the cancer on /v/, keep /vr/ and fix its problems too.
/v/ doesn't need to be split. What /v/ needs is strict moderation. No more slack when it comes to trash posts and the people who make them.

This. But it will never happen. The days when you could be banned for absolutely anything are long passed and self moderation has clearly not worked.

/v/ can't selfmoderate anymore because dubs are amiss :^)
