Should /g/ implement flags and IDs to stop the flow of shitposting

>>60308642
Flags would be unnecessary for this board, but IDs would be great.

No.

>>60308858
Flags unnecessary how so?

>>60308858

>Flags would be unnecessary for this board

If anything, this board needs flags the most. How else are we supposed to spot pajeet shills? They only get away with it because /g/ has no flags. If mook enabled flags, watch obscure shit being shilled to almost totally halt unless one shill company can afford to use VPNs.

Flags no, IDs... maybe.
They should be thread unique though.

>>60308926
>They should be thread unique though.
Aren't IDs on all boards just per thread unique?

>>60308900
>>60308921
I can see the comedy value in this, but that's about it. Wouldn't help in any way. IDs would help a lot on more serious threads.

>>60308947
I'm resistant to the addition of any new features as it's a slippery slope.
Half the threads will become people 'establishing' their new IDs.

>>60308947
Flags and IDs would stop all the shitposting coming from 3rd worlders and you know it.

>>60308959
>Half the threads will become people 'establishing' their new IDs.
I don't understand this. IDs such as the ones on /pol/ are automatically generated, and they're only per thread session.


>>60308964
>Flags and IDs would stop all the shitposting coming from 3rd worlders and you know it.
No, but IDs would mitigate conversation hijacking.

>>60308642
Implement /r9k/ original post

>>60308991
How would flags not stop anything?

>>60309007
How flags would stop anything? A shitposter will shitpost regardless of its flag. On the other hand a conversation won't be hijacked as the ID is unique. You can just ignore shitposter's ID and follow the ID you're having the conversation with.

IDs should be implemented on every board tbqh

>>60308858
I think flags would be fun

I'm good with thread-specific IDs; that would likely cut down on quite a bit of shitposting. I'm not a fan of flags on this board, though. I feel like threads would just derail into flagposting and flag-based shitposting.

>>60309031
Idk seems you might be from a country who gets bullied on 4chan so you probably don't want a flag. Bwhahahahhahaa

>>60309007
because it's not necessary for a technology board and would just be another way to derail a thread completely
leave that shit to /pol/

>>60309036
They would be fun, but probably generate some new shit threads. IDs won't have a detrimental effect in any way.


>>60309033

>>60309052
I'm from Ukraine, I don't mind my flag. Femanon, btw (:

>>60309065
my apologies for not naming every single board that implements flags anon

>>60309069
>Femanon, btw (:
Oh boy here we go...
3... 2... 1...

>>60309055
Well you do have a point it would probably cause a circle jerk of Europeans making threads like /nord/, /balts/, and /cum/. They would probably throw away everyone's opinions who isn't part of the first world.

>>60309071
No biggie, just thought I'd complete the list because autism.

>>60309077
Point was I don't mind my flag and by now anyone who isn't a filthy newfag already know where I'm from without it. I just don't think flags would do any benefit to this board. IDs would help a lot though.

>>60309061
Flags would just make americans and europeans more inclined to call others "poor".

>>60309080
yeah, this board is already raped by "intel/AMD btfo!!11" threads every other hour and there's no reason to cause more unneeded autism threads
i want my comfy /g/ back

>>60309109
Yeah, would be a new way to shitpost. This is why I think they would not contribute in a benefical way to this board

>>60309110
Yeah that shit is out of control. Funny thing is I don't think it's Indians it's probably a handful of Canadians and Americans maybe even some Australians.

No to flags, Yes to IDs.

>>60308642
IDs would be unnecessary for this board, but flags would be great.

>>60309252
Care to explain most people hate the idea of flags.

>>60308642
No. Fuck you and go back to /pol/.

>>60309321
/pol/ isn't the only one that uses flags r-tard

>>60309330
So?

>>60309347
People are scared of getting called out not due to their post but because of their country.

>>60309330
>r-tard
Redditard detected.

>>60309347
That's why I said what I said in my post.

>>60308642
Flags would just cause 3rd worlder butthurt.

IDs are most likely to stop the shit posting.

>>60308642
Just go spam /qa/ with the topic, they don't have a clue what's going on with other boards so they'll just enable/make things that are "requested"

Flags do nothing but incite shitposting. IDs might be good though, but I really want the anonymity of 4chan to continue staying.

>>60309730
Same ID is available only for current session afaik. So it'll still be anonymous.

>>60308642
NO. /bant/ was a mistake, and they are a terrible idea on /pol/

>>60308642
>Flags
Would just turn this into /int/ with technology. Unless you want to prove that canadians are behind the cuck spam, I see no other reason to.

>IDs
That would work much better because it would stop samefagging.

>>60308642
>>60309274
Flags and IDs are pointless.

If you outlaw guns then criminals will have guns and average people can't defend themselves. The same principle applies here.

If you're shitposting on behalf of a pajeet marketing corporation then you're going to be provided with a few VPNs and proxies.

If you're not then you'll have your flag and ID everywhere.

Just look at /pol/ and the samefagging that goes on there using proxies and VPNs.

I get why many of you believe flags and IDs will stop shitposters, but it won't affect them, it will just affect normal people posting something interesting in their lunchbreak.

>>60308964
No, it won't. It really won't change anything.

>>60308642
I support IDs, but flags would just increase the shitposting.

I too support IDs but not flags. The minor benefit of recognising pajeets - which isn't that hard anyway - will be completely offset by flag shitposting.

And to everyone saying they don't want IDs because muh smoking anonymity - gas yourselves. IDs are unique per thread and the only thing they stop is samefagging.

Yes. All the people autistically screeching against this are the fucking pajeets we need to out.

/int/ has flags because of /int/, /sp/ got them because of ausies starting USA vs UK threads, /pol/ got them primarly as a way to identify israely posters (the JIDF shilling is real) but most people there use a proxy anyway, there is no legit reason for /g/ to have them, the only place that would be worth it is /ck/ imo

>>60311206
/pol/ using vpn's and proxies you really think racist are smart? No the use of IDs atleast would mitigate the shitposting that happens here. Too much AMD VS INTEL VS NVIDIA bullshit. Saving face from flags is probably a benefit to all the third worlders here, but ID's would be a plus.

>>60308642
that would be a bad idea, i like those type of threads fuck you, kys

No, but I would like something to tell what OS people use.
So I can filter out all OSX and iOS users.

>pajeets

I see it now
> /g/ implements flags
> nvidia vs amd threads go on
> turns out there are no pajeets, just Intel's marketing department in Israel and AMDs marketing department Austin, Texas.
I'll laugh so hard when this turns out to be the case.

>>60314155
the day this happens, serious posters will die of laughter.

>>60314155
See that's the thing I don't see the shitposters actually being pajeets. It's probably Germans, Americans, Aussies, and Canadians. Only developed countries get all stupid about MUH CPU and MUH GAYMMING

>>60308900
Consumer electronics are about the same in any country with an isp.
>>60308858
I agree, posts would slow to a crawl like /vr/ though.
>>60314155
This pretty much, sentence structure and use of words makes me believe it's mostly middle class Caucasians shitposting from various spots on the glonbe.

>>60308642

THE MODS SHOULD PERMABAN ANYONE WHO BRINGS UP POLITICS,GENDER,RACE,SEXUALITY,RELIGION, OR NATIONALITY.

ANYONE WHO SAYS FAGGOT/PAJEET/NEET/REEEE/FEMINISM/KEK/AUTISTIC/ETC

All the CS freshman and manchildren here are not qualified to even shitpost about anything other than what level of nujabe wizard spells they can cast on World of Assassins Creed.

>>60308642
fuck off, I want to keep samefagging

>>60317314
Me too my friend

>>60317194
I disagree. You;ve got reddit (seriously) if you want such politically correct and controlled medium.

>>60317328
OP here, I now recognise that I'm a fag and that 4chan with IDs and flags is not 4chan

flags ruined /sp/

>>60317339
Man you are so right, maybe you are not a fag anyway

>>60317356
OP is a faggot, shut up

>t. OP

>>60309033
I disagree. Being able to be multiple people in a thread for purposes other than samefagging is nice.

>>60317194
Fucking fairies needing their safe spaces, how do you manage you live your days without wanting to kill yourself

>>60309002
I agree with this wholeheartedly.

If we had IDs and forced original posts, there are certain types of people who would be forced to go to /v/ where they belong.

Flags would be good for a laugh, I guess.

If people fall for the most obvious bait imaginable now, why do you think that flags would make it any different? Shitposters with certain flags (like India) would actually get MORE (You)s because of it.
