This flag bullshit has ruined /pol/. RUINED!

How?

I have noticed a dip in post quality recently.

>>130052076
It's exactly the same.

All these slide threads came even when flags were just the IP address.

>>130052201
Now leafs, pajeets, swedes etc. can hide behind some flag other than their own, eliminating the hilarity of many situations. Also, it's sometimes good to know where the poster is from to better understand the message, its subtle implications and nuances. The same message might bear a different meaning coming from, for example, a German than it would coming from an Egyptian.

>>130052546
No it's not. Why do you choose to present yourself as some generic fascist rather than the citizen of your country? Are you ashamed of your country?

That's your homework assignement, little buddy. Go tell us the number, and explain to me the merits of these things. I'm sure having a jihadi flag and ISIS larp threads are great political discussion.
The real answer, is the mods fucking gave up on this board, and now are ready to let it go to full shitposting mode, and make this place even more of a containment hole than it already was.

also Ids are useless because phoneposters and people with multiple devices can bypass this.

Like, Americans are fucking stupid, sort of similar to the Germans. What connects them is even more interesting... they self-confidence. Two countries that are obviously breeding stupid, confident, determined and submissive boot-lickers, leaving them forever isolated in their bubble of ignorance.

Croatians never make any sense to me, now that they hide, I am completely lost.

Serbs are either overdosing on redpills or obnoxiously fucking dumb.

Pollacks are plain morons, Russians are sad bringers of harsh truth, insufferable though.

I've never witnessed that personally, and I've been here since /new/. Usually if you write a quality post you get quality replies, doesn't matter which flag you have. If your only contribution to shit board is a BLACKED thread then don't be surprised if other posters call you out on your faggotry.

>you're a coward for selecting an option
You're pathetic, you're posting on an anonymous imageboard and here you are chastising people for selecting something that has no effect on discussion. Are you a coward? Why aren't you posting with your real name and address? What do you have to hide? Retard tier logic, this just proves you need flags because you're a shitposter that can't argue. You're probably the kind of poster that posts the same stale old shit such as
>a fucking leaf
>emu war
>ahmed for any european flag
etc.

Kill yourself my man.

Thats pretty fucking stupid. Considering no one knows who you are still. This board board was a semi-anon board where a person's posts could be tracked in a thread but outside of it they were anon.

So, yeah, still pretty anonymous. The complete opposite would be a fucking username you idiot.

Holy shit are you fucking serious? How fucking retarded are you? Mandatory Nationality/Geography flags were the complete opposite of anonymity you literal nu-/pol/ cancer. You had a permanent brand over you that carried over into other threads that you could not get rid of. If somebody with your flag fucked up and embarassed themselves so hard, the rest of that country's posters got shitposted to death for YEARS on end. With flags as they are right now (ideology flags that you can change at whim), anonymity's returned. I can fucking be whoever I want now.
I won't have to deal with "SVEN" "ACHMED" "POO IN LOO" "EMU WAR" "A FUCKING LEAF" "SHART IN MART" anymore.

This is a right-wing politics board, go to fucking /bant/ if you want to be a cancerous faggot and spam ebin flag memes.

most of you faggots probably came during the election and don't even respect the core 4chan ideal of anonymity. and now are horribly confused when you have to actually consider the content of the post and can't just ad-hom about their country.

You can still use a proxy (I know, that it is not the same, ppl will be "attracted" to the flag non the less). Partially I agree with you, that being anonymous might generate more constructive conversation. However, if you want to go deeper, you should know your opponent. The ideology, and the context (country). This flag feature would be more interesting, if the pol flag was an addition to the country flag. And by default the second flag would be "neutral". Then you will know political bias of poster and the cultural context.

I'm aware of that, but it makes zero difference since so many people are using the alternate flags, you won't be able to tell anyone apart aside from nametags. I actually kind of like that Hiromoot brought them back. You actually have to attack people based on their ideals and beliefs rather then shitting up every thread with a fucking leaf or poo in loo.

>>130063279
If an idea is understood correctly, you are right, for sure. However, sometimes (in my experience very often) one might have trouble to understand other person due to cultural incompatibilities. Knowing the context a priori might be a good thing, then. We are not discussing here abut Nietzsche, Plato, etc. works. These guys created and polished some ideas. Here we are trying to create new ideas (I thing) and by doing so we might need some context cues.

>>130065213
And no ID. This way one can decide whether to remain anonymous or allow for coherent conversation with a cultural context.

>>130063516
also people can track you easy.
if you use the filter in an external archive and lets say you are from a country with shitty internet laws.
where you can't talk shit about some topic

like the holocaust in germany.
German authorities can use tools and external archives to track your post and request your Ip.
is dangerous in a way.

>You deserve to be mocked for your countries.
On an anonymous website my country shouldn't be made available for everybody to see. The problem stems from people (like yourself) who don't give a shit about actual political discussion and would rather regurgitate their same shitty flag memes. People who spam "ETERNAL ANGLO", "POO IN LOO", "A FUCKING LEAF", "YUROPOOR", "FROG" and so on disrupt fucking discussion and derail threads even more than the people who are posting.

/bant/ was made for people like you who want to spam flag memes, but you refuse to use it. /pol/ is for right-wing politics and happenings.

>>130065761
Trips are unique and stick with you for as long as you want it to. You'd be able to recognize me in other threads if I had a trip. You wouldn't be able to recognize me in other threads with ideology flags since I could be anybody.

>>130064829
if i recall correctly if you can hide all post by a flag
you can do it the same way with custom flags.

>>130058244
>we didn't have country flags and this place wasn't that ruined
this. I forget which scandal moot responded to with country flags.

>>130065503

Flags can go. IDs per thread are alright. Beats having that one anon sperging out and calling anyone who disagrees with them a samefag.

>>130065503
>And no ID
Debateable. Too many shill/troll/larper threads. People would talk to themselves and flaseflag (now literally) all the time. Commies already try to do this even with IPs, as they have been insisting for years that this is their board now and the same spanish sociopath floods /pol/ with commie generals everyday.

I agree, I found it more interesting to know where someone is from and to get their perspective on things than some pointless larp flag.

>>130065995
Calling you a leaf when you're being fucking retarded is less of a disruption to the conversation at hand than your retarded cuckolding. I don't flag meme anyway but you people are seriously cancerous and never have anything to say that's worth reading. I'll do everyone else a favor by pointing it out so newfags don't have to waste their time with garbage.

>>130052076
>flag bullshit has ruined /pol/.
I agree. Remove all flags.
Aside from the ad-homs it was also driving some people to act like cancerous tripfags because they were a constant presence in generals and clearly identifiable by their country. Just an awful idea for an anonymous forum.

How the fuck do you even change the flag? Does it not work on 4chan x?

does taking a shit on a turd make it worse?
so how can the flaggotry you see here today

>>130066275
>Calling you a leaf
You're proving my point. People like you resort to flag banter that belongs on /bant/ instead of actually referring to the post.
The beauty of ideology flags is nobody knows what country I'm from. I'm anonymous. I'll give you a hint. I'm not a leaf, I'm a slav.

Finald is rightfully upset since the Finnish flag has a high meme reputation, as opposed to a low one.

When I saw a thread about a degenerate who punched brain damage into a doctor as the doctor was scolding him for smoking, I had a vague idea of what would be the best response.

And there it was. First post. No text. Just a picture of Dana White. THAT picture. But I don't see it as Dana White anymore. It's röökiaski.

The flag was Finnish.

Your geographical location is a privacy invasion, and should be a choice to have it displayed to match the tenets of anonymous-chan culture. Especially when countries like Germany have major issues with topics here, and could face criminal charges if their post history was ever compromised.

old /pol/ had a post timer like other boards too, and didn't have thread id's. The quality of posts was considerably higher before the flags and post timer removal. though the thread Id's are arguably useful.

When somebody says something, their nationality gives it context. For example, somebody defending circumcision with an American flag tells us that this is an American circumcision victim who doesn't want to admit that he was mutilated at birth without his consent.

because if you pay for a 4chan pass you can change your flag via proxy and hiro is going to sell your credit card info and 4chan pass info to shady companies.
also tools like this one exist and are available for the public and goverments.

people can always change or randomize their custom flags with addons and scripts obfuscating data.
but with geoflags people have no choice at all.

everythings linked to IPs so they already know our location after all the dickhead whos famous for selling the data of 2chan is hiro and the flags they added is a better way to get a political opinion just by the flag alone, its harder to now what your thinkin unless you tell them, well that is unless your already broadcasting it through your flag

>I wanna know how people think according to where they're from

Why are you on 4chan then dipshit. This website is supposed to be anonymous

Pol has always been shit, but all the Trumpfags from reddit me it a lot worse

>>130077522
using that logic we should get rid of all flags and if that's the case i agree.
but please read my post again.

>with addons and scripts obfuscating data

they don't work most browsers like to pretend they have vpn service but in reality if the government want your location they'l get it, the uk is horrible for it

and to be honest real anonymity is best, rid of all flags just go full /b/ about it i would like that but this site is fuckin done for and no pun intended but im abandoning this sinking ship before it gets worse

KikeChink in charge went full shekeljew and thought "how could he make niggers, kikes, brown mongrels more involved in /pol/?" hoping to make it even more popular... his answer

(((I KNOW ILL PLAY IDENTITY POLITICS AND GIVE THEM FLAGS!!!1!)))

KikeChink in charge just gave /pol/ a shelf life. Nothing survives its culture and people once you start playing identity politics.

Goodbye /pol/

I agree fellow white men. Asalam alaykum!

>>130085456

/pol/ has official be globalized... nationalism is dead here

>>130052076

Go whine somewhere else you dirty mongol. Why is a poster's flag more important than their ideology when this is supposed to be a political forum?

>>130085966

because this was the only place on the internet where nationalism politics was main focus...

now we are just another nigger infested reddit..

>>130052076
stfu

>>130086126
>because this was the only place on the internet where nationalism politics was main focus...

What's stopping you from discussing nationalism on this forum? These flags change nothing.

>>130066901
Yes, they are cowards.

>>130086422

Because now a whole bunch of reddit fags can come here all put on the hammer and sickle and effectively dog whistle taking over the website now just by showing their flags...

If all the twitter niggers decided to come her and put on the black lives matter flags and take this place over its not our hangout anymore.

You are just another fucked up loser who wants to see all clubs (nations) fail because no-one wants you anywhere.

You genetic dead end faggot.. go be a nigger somewhere else

>>130086422
>>130086845

This was kikechink hoping he could "globalize" /pol/ and make all identities welcome for his numbers...

Just like a nation ran by jews he is blinded by numbers and not culture.

and you are one of his nigger number orcs cheering.

faggot nigger kike

>>130052076
Kill yourself nigger this is what /pol/ was you inbred jew

>>130086845
>Because now a whole bunch of reddit fags can come here
>Uses reddit spacing

Nice try you dirty newfag. Go back to your cucksite.

> take this place over its not our hangout anymore

Holy fuck you should honestly kill yourself. If /pol/ is your sole reason for living then you're a fucking subhuman. You're entire autistic rant can be summed up "I don't like change! REEEEEEEEEE!".

>>130053295
>Judging people on their nationalities rather than their actual opinions/posts

Literally social justice

>>130053295
THIS IS WHY /BANT/ WAS CREATED
ffs just go there if you really want to get called Mongolian every time you post

>>130052076
It's a simple fix. Just assume that everyone not using their national flag is a Canadian and attack their posts as such. 99% of the time it will be a correct assumption.

>>130052076
>REEEEEEEEEEE

>>130078249
Wait, what the fuck is with all these other flags? Do people just pick whatever flag they want now?

>>130087296

I dont give a fuck about your bullshit reddit spacing rules.

Ive been 4chan since 2006

Go nigger Reddit or Twitter up you fucking white raped mongrel
