Rules, Regulations and Moderation For /tg/

>Discuss how we can better /tg/

Move CYOA threads to /qst/. Bring back Dwarf Fortress.

>>49349191
Yes for the first, no for the second.

Wow its actually not being deleted

Bring quests back. Fire Mod.

>>49349218
All of this.

Make /qst/ not a containment board and let relevant quests come back. Leave /qst/ up though. It was a good buffer when it was just extra space.

Potential fix for people who really love page 1 and can't use a catalog: Force quests to put quest in the title (Which most already do), then make it so that threads with quest in the title only bump to page 2. Might need some technical finagling, but that's what the Developer is for, right?

>>49349218
second

Mods only playing ball because Hiro is back

>>49349154
quests belong on /qst/

it's what the board is for

>>49349191
>>49349218
I don't care what happens to quests.
Would be fine with it either way.

>>49349191
CYOA should get its own board. World building board would be good.

>>49349191
The first one makes sense to me at least

More lewd elves

>>49349154
Either make it so anything with Quest in the subject can't be bumped to the first page or make /qst/ optional

>>49349154
Bring back quests, if not to all boards than just to /tg/. Fire the mods. Add a sticky teaching people how to filter out quests, or include a built-in optional quest filter.

hiro isn't going to read this shit

hiro isn't going to read all of the posts of this or any other thread of ALL the boards

He especially isn't going to read ALL of the posts of ALL of the thread of ALL of the boards

Don't kid yourself

>>49349218
Can't we keep things this way and just have you leave?

>>49349218
Agreed.

>>49349218
This guy gets it

>>49349218
Third. I myself see no reason for them to be moves. I don't particularly care for them, but I thought they were nice for adding some traffic to the board.

I'd move CYOA threads to quest and allow a 'quest roundup' thread on /tg/ for those faggots to advertise their games and continue to pretend they are on a forum, not an anonymous chinese cartoon imageboard. I'd support regular bans for zero-content threads.

>>49349218
>Fire Mod.

We can all agree on this one, right folks?

>>49349263
Well it's not like you're going to get any real sort of consensus here anyway. This thread will just be where butthurt quest thread people gather

>>49349218
Listen to this guys, specially about firing that fucking mod.

>>49349218
Quests are fine on /qst/. I've yet to see an argument against it that wasn't just some particular attention whore bitching.

>>49349294
I've never seen an argument for it that wasn't an appeal to the mod's authority or a completely subjective value judgement.

Mod is playing Mr. Nice Guy now. Don't let him fucking fool you. He was deleting these threads nonstop today and handing out bans.

>>49349218
Oh fucking Christ yes

>inb4 mod deletes thread 8 more times because Hiro didn't say anything for 3 hours.

>>49349292
Indeed. Metathreads should always be banned.

>>49349218
This.

>>49349154
Re-welcome drawfagging. Make /tg/ a special case board and put some more references to /qst/ than would be usual, simply to encourage awareness AND keep them quarantined all in one stroke. CYOA threads = quest threads, so treat them accordingly. Re-instate the Commander Keen rule. Relax a bit on art threads and whatnot; allow spoilered "racy" content as long as it's fantasy-oriented and not outright porn. If you're browsing here at work, fuck you. Abuse gets the old rule re-instated. Allow conversation threads to go off-topic so long as they don't go full /pol/ and don't devolve into flamewars. Too many derailed threads that were interesting get deleted by butthurt OPs reporting their own threads for being shanghaied. Too fucking bad, OP. Deal with it.

Basically, loosen the shackles a little, but keep your hand on your gun, mods. Motherfuckers can't be trusted to follow the good spirit of the rules sometimes.

Oh, and replace mods/janitors that show repeated bias in pruning or deletions. That shit is stupid.

>>49349294
Prove it

>>49349218
Backing.

Though in seriousness, quests belong to /tg/ they started here nearly a decade ago.

>>49349228
Seems like it, once Hiro bunny-hops away the mods come back to play us like a damn fiddle.

>>49349305
this

fuck all you idiots that just want to complain and are using hiro's ignorance to bring meta threads to /tg/

>>49349218
>>49349226

I'd support this.

I just want people to be reasonable, and I would like it if the /pol/ shitposting was more heavily moderated. It's genuinely terrible to deal with far more often than it's tolerable.

>>49349226
Also backing.

/qst/ is useful as a place for QM's to not clutter a board up with new ideas or first time attempts, it should stay around just for that, but its not a home for actual quests.

>>49349277

We already have Quest Generals on /tg/.

I want mods who will purge /d/ tier threads.

>>49349218
This.
/qst/ is an unmitigated failure, and quests have been on /tg/ since their inception nearly a decade ago.

>>49349218
Not sure if the second can be done, but YES to the first.

The worst part about the switch is how butthurt everyone on /qst/ is about it. The constant bitching over irrelevant shit is unbelievable. Making a calm post about it gets me several rage filled (You)s every time.

>>49349351
Christ, how entitled can one faggot be?

>>49349235
None of the quester community wanted /qst/
Theres not enough people for a full on board.

>>49349352
No we don't, they get banned. They were getting banned even before /qst/ was mandatory. The fuck are you smoking?

>>49349280
If there was an option for "punch mod in balls" I'd go for that.

>>49349294
I'll bite. Forced IDs means people argue against other posters and personalities develop, the board's so slow even with the /tg/ immigrants it takes a permasaged thread DAYS to drop off the board, and it's unsustainable from the perspective that people who don't already know where it is and what it's about probably won't bother with it. On /tg/ anybody and everybody has experience playing in a group: they're just one interesting premise away from participating in a quest assuming they don't have a massive stick up their ass or something.

/tg/ was just better, dude. /qst/ isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, but /tg/ was almost... I dunno. Like it bred out weakness, and if you crashed and burned it covered up the evidence in a couple of hours tops. Looking at the bottom few pages of /qst/ is just sad.

>>49349321
By that logic, all of /tg/ belongs on /b/ because that's where it started more than a decade ago.

>>49349360
What about those who started on /qst/ from the get-go?

>>49349218
>>49349226
These

At the very least, let board-relevant ones back here.

I don't give a shit about maid waifu ninja quest or whatever, but if you're running a fucking Warhammer-based one then let it be on /tg/.

>>49349360
/qst/ is not a failure it works fine

you people just don't like change

>>49349314

This guy gets it.

>>49349154
Quests took up barely any space on the board. They've been here since they were made, years ago.
If you're not going to accept /qst/ is a failed and dead board, at least let quests stay on /tg/.

>>49349379

>none
fuck off liar
/qst/ works great, try it

For one, stop shitting on design threads.

Second, CYOA SHOULD be sent to /qst/.

Third, I actually agree with >>49349191 on the dorf fort. There is plenty of overlap between /tg/ related things and other hobbies like vidya. Allowing some more interpretation-heavy games like dorf fort wouldn't hurt the board.

If you were going to post in quest threads what's so fucking hard about just going to /qst/ at the same time? I like being able to see things on the front page that aren't general threads and quests. With the catalog you can't really see what direction a thread has taken
>>49349305
If there's one thing that should continue to stay the way it is I'd say it's this

>>49349402
But what about my quest, it started on /qst/ and I'm too scared of /tg/ to move in if I got the offer.

>>49349154
CYOA, Risk, and all the other forum game shit needs to fuck off to /qst/ to complete the purge. They can take the completely off-topic worldbuilding and storythread stuff with them. It's a containment board after all.

Next we need a solid crackdown on all the /v/ leakage. SS13, BFG Armada, DF, Warcraft, and Dawn of War are the worst offenders.

Contentless threads need to go too, Filename, BestOf, OMGCutePictures, StatMe, ThisIsHow, and pretty much anything that isn't actually traditional game discussion needs to go too.

>>49349410
No it doesn't. It's glitchy and threads that would have been popular elsewhere are slowed to a crawl (If even) on /qst/.

>>49349226
I don't like the idea of quests only bumping to page 2 because that still shuts out a lot of potential new blood, albeit not to the degree that /qst/ does. For example, I only got into MGNQ after seeing it on the frontpage for months.

I think a built-in, optional filter for "Quest" would work better. Opt-in rather than opt-out. And of course a permanent sticky explaining what quests are and how the filter works.

>>49349410
I did. It was shit so I went back to /tg/, and it's still shit.

bullshit, You go to the board that fits is.

>>49349400
>you people
So you're saying you don't play in quests?
Because /qst/ was made on the whim of a random mod, at the behest of a vocal minority who'd bitched for years, taking in almost not criticism and ignoring all the QMs and questers who said it was retarded.

The "community", as it is, it too damn small. It's an extremely small number of people, enough that the /qst/ board is totally dead. There was no harm in allowing them on /tg/ and taking them off it did plenty of it.

Keep /qst/, if you must. But let quests stay on /tg/

>>49349426
They're never going to delete /qst/, so I wouldn't worry.

>>49349218
Support

Looks like the ban happy mod is on /qst/ now. He deleted the thread Hiro wanted their in only 7 minutes

Honestly the /pol/ stuff goes away if you never reply to it.
They get bored eventually without their constant supplies of (you)s and move onto another thread.

>>49349360
I love how all you guys are batching about where you get to watch some usually bad writefag brutally rape canon to insert a schizophrenic/multiple personality disorder self-insert that makes no sense and ruins it.

Unless it's OC, it's usually bad.


>>49349398
This.
On topic and original quests should be allowed here, but shit like DragonBall quest belongs on >>>/qst/

>>49349431
that's false

threads would be just as dead anywhere if there are dead there

/qst/ has created many, MANY more quests that would never have existed without /qst/

>>49349438

That's merely the nature of quest threads, anon.

>>49349427
Fuck off. It wasn't a containment board until the mod started listening to people like you.
Also, those things are literally nothing like quests. CYOA is literally a solitaire experience, and RISK is just a board game.

The fact that you think worldbuilding and storythreads are off-topic speaks volumes as to your contributions to /tg/.

>>49349410
Says someone ignorant of quests.

Hell, i wouldnt even care about quests being restricted to page 3 or more on here.

They will die without foot traffic from the boards they are related to.

>>49349451
>vocal minority
I'm sure that's very convenient to believe

>>49349314
This.

/tg/ needs a discerning but firm hand when it comes to moderation. The discerning part is important due to the nature of the board.

Also remove risk/civ/CYOA/evo threads to /qst/ and make it a general forum games board.

>>49349218
Agreed.

>>49349459
are you retarded? >>>/qst/570135

>>49349218
>Bring quests back
Honestly the mod's not been absolutely awful, but there have been some odd decisions like nuking a few discussion threads and game creation threads. Could be worse, compared to no moderation whatsoever. I do not miss all those /pol/ threads intended to just start real world arguments.

>>49349410
I did. It was shit

>>49349218
This will fail without a site wide rule. We had quests for things that had nothing to do with /tg/, because when someone made a thread on their relevant board, they were told to come here.

As a result, /tg/ suffered since half the board was quests nobody gave a shit about.

So, it should be that quests are allowed on every board, as long as it is relevant to the board at hand.

>>49349218
Second

Fragmenting the community wasn't necessary, it wasn't like they were pushing valuable threads off the board.

I'd endorse it of /tg/ was anywhere near capacity, but it really isn't, so having the quest threads here was a nice way to cross-pollinate and grow both the forum-gaming and sit down gaming communities.

>>49349469
MANY popular quests from other boards had drastic drops in posters.
But I don't think /qst/ needs to go. It just doesn't need to be a containment board.

I feel indifferent about quests, but I do enjoy the butthurt and tears of all the quest people and wish for this conflict to draw out for a bit longer.

>>49349191
Wait Dwarf Fortress is banned? I vaguely remember a thread just a while ago. It should definitely be allowed here.

Keep /qst/ but dont be militant about it. Encourage its use by making it USEFUL not a containment board. If people like it, they will use it. If you provide a useful service, youre doing it right.

Clean up the janitors. Seriously. Do your damn job and actually regulate their actions! Fucking hell, its not that hard to check up on them is it? Delegate it to someone who gives a shit if you cant, but get it done. Abuse of power is more toxic than anything the community can conjure up.

Just, stop being lazy about things. The heavy hand you have been using is leaving a fucking bruise.

>>49349389
>Forced IDs means people argue against other posters and personalities develop
The entire questing """community""" is this. The attitude of so many quest runners is "I, questfag name #1, condescend with my brilliance to these poor anons"

>>49349410
WE HAVE TRIED IT.
QMs, Questers, we all fucking tried it. And it was shit. The community is dead, the board is filled with /b/ tier drawquests, all of which died after 50 posts and no-one drops in from seeing a quest they care about and dropping into it from /tg/.
And the board "features" only made it worse.

>>49349463
I don't read fanfic quests, but that's cool I guess.

>>49349486
You literally are a vocal minority, most of /tg/ doesn't care. Just use your fucking filters and ignore the under a dozen hidden threads.

>>49349218
Agreed. Look, /qst/ can stay because some folks seem to enjoy it. Good for them. But let quests come back to /tg/ if the QMs wish to run on /tg/.

Also, fire the mod. He's trash.

MOD, READ THIS NOW. You're universally hated! Please, have the grace to resign! You fucking trash.

>>49349402
One of the big things about quests is that people got incredibly fucking lazy about it.

About stories, concepts, and even about getting some damn closure on the thing.

Low quality quests started building up and instead of "Something something space quest #8" we got "Harem anime in quest form #515" everywhere.

I'd argue /qst/ is a good thing because even if they're slower with less visitors, having good quests be visible amongst the shit allows people to get exposed to the idea that there's something better than just aimlessly wandering around for several dozen threads.

No quests on /tg/. /qst/ is fine and /tg/ is better without quests choking it up.

/tg/'s been doing pretty well since the Quests were dumped. Don't think we need anything.

>>49349427
Point1: agreed
Point2: yes and no. Video games related to /tg/, like the dawn of war series, do and don't belong here for different reasons. /tg/ related discussion about the games should be far whereas talking about the game play and mechanics of the game should go to /v/ or/vg/.
Point 3:
>stoplikingwhatidontlike.jpg

But seriously, your third point makes you sound like a pretentious cunt. It's part of board culture, it has been, and it's not going away easy, nor should it.

Hell the idea of restricting quests to page 2 or 3 would work fine for most boards. Since then you go looking in the catalog and thats where people can still find the things like quests that get them interested.

>>49349531
Instead of having a bunch of quests on the frontpage, now we have a bunch of generals. Fucking nothing's changed for non-questers.

What's this about a shit mod

>>49349476
This is a discussion board, not a play-by-post forum, or a fanfic repository. Just being a few degrees of seperation away from the board's actual topic doesn't make misuse of it allowable.

Dude, which QM crawled up YOUR ass and died there? Most of the ones I know are actually pretty chill: in fact it's almost a prerequisite given how a lot of playerbases can get. If they weren't chill they'd have gone crazy like five threads in.

>>49349273

This. I don't do quests, but I also don't get why people think it's not roleplaying or whatever. It's obviously board related, and it's not like /tg/ is bursting at the seams with too much traffic. It took hours for a dead thread to roll off, even before /qst/.
And quests produced a good bit of churn that kept the stupid bait threads pushed down, so they didn't seem to attract so much attention.

>>49349498
And you have the nerve to wonder where the writefags and drawfags from the "/tg/ gets shit done" era went

>>49349518
This. Nobody asked for /qst/ at all, and the mods have done a piss poor job moderating it and explaining what exactly its for

>>49349588
>bunch of quests on the frontpage, now we have a bunch of generals

Gib stats
Bib proof

>>49349534
there's also a semi-regular drawthread

I don't know why some qst dudes think all drawfags are banned from /tg/.

>>49349598
See >>49349568
Do you have anything to prove otherwise?

>>49349598
It's been proven a lie time and time again.

>>49349598
If the numbers add up, they add up.
And they have never added up to what you say.

>>49349517
Fanfic quests feel like I'm reading the inner thoughts of the 12 year old me that loved Naruto but always wanted to be a character in it. And the fact that there's grown adults that think like I did 10 years ago is pretty fucking depressing. Also they're poorly written, and usually try to morph back into canon but fuck up, quickly.

>>49349530
The board has room for, I believe, 112 threads at a time. At peak capacity, on days with the most quests going at once, you would see MAYBE 10 at one time.

>>49349568
The fact that a lot the fucks never put "quest" in their subject at all was half the damn problem

>>49349598
No, but when you say things that are verifiably false, you are telling lies. You should stop spreading lies.

>oh great, another thread with people argueing about quests just when we though it wasn't allowed anymore

Keeping Quests off the frontpage would be ideal, because that's pretty much the only genuinely valid complaint about them. /tg/ is all about derailment and conversation, and thus the catalog is less useful here than elsewhere.

I'm all for welcoming quality relevant content, as long as it doesn't adversely affect the frontpage.

I can count on one hand the number of people who did that, because they've all been very vocally called out for it.
But that filter also probably catches a few false positives, like "knights on a quest", or "I want to send my PCs on a quest" or whatever.

I remember that happening like once, and even the questfags were up his ass about it. If memory serves he eventually got banned for shitposting.

>>49349644
If quests can't be here related to /tg/ then any general not related to /tg/ should also be removed is my opinion.

>>49349647

>>49349668
>All the unlabeled quests.
You can find some and point them out, right? The archives are still there. If there are that many, it shouldn't take too long to find a few.

>>49349657
I don't screencap when it happened, but it happened a lot. I personally would reply to the thread asking them to label their quests next time, things would get vitriolic and more than once, different QMs would have some sarcastic title for the next thread about not labeling it on purpose

>>49349636
there were very, very few.
And if we enforced it as a rule, that problem would go away, and you could filter out all the quest threads and forget we exist. Would that please you?

>>49349611
Bullshit, lots of us were begging for /qst/ to get your fucking cancer off the board.

>>49349671
I agree with this. There's usually a handful of people whining about quests, about twice that many fighting with them, and then the other eighty percent of the board just not caring and going on with their fucking day.

>>49349666
Just embrace the shitstorm and let it wash over you.

Soon it will be gone like another fart in the wind.

>>49349692
Archives are still available. 4plebs has every thread.

>>49349636
>a lot

How many? Surely you can provide evidence like questfags did BTFOing the "majority of the board" claim

>>49349218
Seconding this.

THANK YOU

>>49349668
No, all the quests put quest in the title because it was the only way to keep people like you from shitting up the threads.

You just give the quest label to things that are in no way a quest, but that you just don't like. This is what the anti-questers have always done and I don't expect them to change, but please, I beg you, give us pictures of these missing quest threads that were obviously numbering in the hundreds to clog up the board to the degree you claim.

>>49349699
>lots

Is that a codeword for 'me and my three asshole friends' now? Because that's all that's usually seen complaining about quests, at the absolute most. Everybody else either wants you to shut up, or just doesn't give a flying fuck.

I don't care about quests but I hate dumb idiots who can't use the catalog and show off that they can't use the catalog by complaining about the front page as if that remotely matters. Your concept of "they" is stupid.

>>49349699
>Lots
That's not what the IP counter has ever said.

>>49349551
That is a pretty good idea.

>>49349692
That was mostly that fucking joker/gotham quest guy right? I remember him being the main culprit.

As a questfag, I'd ask for him to tag it, but he'd refuse everytime because he was a dickhead.

And if that was an enforced rule, as opposed to a custom, you wouldn't have to live with that.

>>49349571
That shit needs to go too. I fully agree. Shilling needs to be taken care of quickly, and shitposters like virtualoptim (I know somewhere he's posting as an anonymous person again) need to be shut the fuck down.

>>49349666

>>49349614
Refreshed the /tg/ frontpage and got:

>This thread
>Traveller General
>EDH General
>How does your Paladin do it /tg/?
>LE antagonists can be morally complex
>40k art thread.
>Warcraft Lore and RPG Discussion (looks like a general to me)
>Pathfinder General
>5E General
>Shadowrun General
>SUDDENLY AJANI (MtG spoiler thread separate from the main MtG spoiler thread)
>Main MtG Spoiler thread (sort-of a general, maybe?)
>ACE Universal Mecha RPG
>40k general

Admittedly that last one was page 2 since I have the kitty sticky hidden but not the /qst/ sticky hidden.

>>49349611
That's just denial. There was tons of people asking for it. I'm not terribly surprised if nobody wants to moderate the play by post roleplay board though

>>49349571
Well, why assume that those problems can't be addressed after this one?

>>49349218
No, fuck off.

Keep the fucking quests off the board. They're tangentially related and take up too much of the board.


Tried of having to filter fucking quests because they don't put quests in the damn line. Every since they've been gone, I can see the front page.

Firstly, let's get a count here. Should the /tg/ Nazimod be fired/forced to resign?

http://www.strawpoll.me/11226987

>>49349702
>about twice as many
it's a small number of people on either side, and most of the board has stopped caring

>>49349744
Is he actually clever enough to do that?

>>49349302
what a fucking faggot

>>49349759
That's literally not true, barely anyone asked for it, and if you'd browse the thread where the mod suggested and made it, everyone said they didn't want it.

Also, can we get Hiro or a mod to say something in here?

>>>/qst/572132

Thread started at 7:49 PM EST.
Thread deleted only 5 minutes later. This all but confirms my deepest fear: The mod of /tg/, the one who kicked off all the Quest threads, is also the mod of /qst/, since he is banning exactly the same way he was doing on /tg/ a few hours ago.

>>49349762
This problem has been addressed, and now /qst/ has it's own board. That's it, end of discussion. It was discussed for years and years and years. Why would it stop now that there is the perception people are listening?

I don't know how I'm supposed to search for this, since the language can be so different in each instance, especially the backlash. Hre are tw different quick examples of unlabeled Quests

Again, I have Quest filtered and they still used to come up all the time, I don't know what you gain from denying this when it's a simple truth

>>49349768

Mother fucker scroll up. And the only real time any quests popped up in decent numbers was the weekend.

>>49349782
Funny, it was discussed for years and nothing was done, because the discussion never went that way. Now people are pissed because it did without any appropriet input from the people whos fun it was fucking with.

So no, not end of discussion. We will continue returning here to make ourselves heard.

>>49349793
Stats have been posted in the past and quests would generally take up 10-15% of the ENTIRE board at most.

>>49349657
You can visit sup/tg/ and just look at the first posts of a few archived quests there... Though i find it more effective to toggle between "Quests hidden" and "quests shown" on the left hand side bar. which changes September's archived threads from *eight* to *SEVENTY SIX*.

Many of these quests very clearly do *not* have the word "quest* in their opening post or title: FOr example "Mecha Mercs Skirmish Mission" has the following as their first post text:

>With the IF's seat of power destroyed few of the Peace Keeper's command staff remain alive. One such officer is General Carvine, leader of the International Desert Task Force currently headquartered in Landum... and under siege by a relentless Zanvran assault.

You can confirm this, and many other examples, just by looking at the suptg archive.

>>49349793
We've shown you stats
>>49349568

>>49349781
are you fucking retarded? there is already a thread up on /qst/ >>>/qst/570135

He posts caps of his "epik trollan" to his shitty tumblr from time to time.
He used to take his trip off to play "le obnoxious dungeon world fanboi" too. One time he accidentally left it on halfway through telling everyone that Dungeon World was the bestest system ever and they should all stop playing those shitty systems they like and play DW.

>>49349793
Been done already

>>49349789
Still a plague upon mankind.

Just because you grognards are too sociopathic to obtain a group of friends, doesn't mean you need to shit up the board.

It's like going to the fucking gamestore and screaming at the top of your lung every action you're making. Every fucking single one of you.

The board is for discussion, not for play.

>>49349805
Good thing Quests have their own board, then

Everything quest or cyoa related needs to be in ONE PLACE. Right now it's fragmented between /tg/ and /qst/ and that clearly isn't working, nobody is happy. /qst/ is dead and /tg/ is still cluttered with quests. I don't know where it all needs to go, but it needs to all be consolidated.

Consolidate our Magic generals. We have a general for every format, a thread or two whenever there are new spoilers, a custom card general, a lore discussion tread, ask a judge, some kind of special snowflake thread that I'm not even sure is magic related, and often several strays about sleeves, shuffling, tourneys, MaRo, SJW's, Nissa's elf tits, and a fuckton of other things. I can see the wisdom in separating new lore from constructed tournaments, but this is goddamn excessive.

>>49349805
I've been there for a few Animes to be honest, but I seriously just want us all to go home to our boards. I'm pro-quest on /tg/ but if I can't have that, I'm willing to let them go to the native boards they belong.

>>49349781
Ah, so /tg/ is going to suffer the clueless mod as well.
Grand.

>>49349805
that's where half of the shitty anime quests came from back when /tg/ was made into the quest ghetto

I imagine that is also why people still have a hate on for quests. Because it was fucking bad.

>>49349738
Either that or they have less reason to be in this thread

>>49349805
I remember some quests on /a/ before the mass exile to /tg/ and they weren't like that. Granted, that was in like 2012.

>>49349809
But, the original point was there are more important things to discuss which are being ignored for quests, then you said after we're done talking about quests we will talk about that stuff, only to immediately say we will never stop talking about quests even though there was a legitimate solution.

>>49349806
That was one like, two day search

Why can't there be just one stickied official poll made by the mods about "quests: yes or no?", because literally all the argueing is just
>"lots of people didn't want quests"
>"no lots of people did want quests"
>"no u"
>"no u"
rinse and repeat

>>49349335
>I would like it if the /pol/ shitposting was more heavily moderated

This. The constant race-baiting unambiguously actually hurts on-topic discussion by derailing threads that would otherwise be enjoyable.

>>49349805
There has probably been a few, and frankly, better there than /tg/

>>49349154

People who only post to complain about how OP is posting wrong or how other people are posting wrong should be a bannable offence, it's getting super annoying.

Increase post and image bump limits, as well as total number of threads on /tg/, then fold quests back into /tg/. else, keep /qst/ a thing or allow quests on all the board.

pls don't take away the rolling ability.

>>49349787
The hylian thing isn't a quest, although it is very similar. If you notice, every player has their own character in that.
So you've got one. And I'm pretty sure that's the infamous guy who gets bitched out for it.

>>49349805
Actually, that's exactly how it worked. The only one I remember from that 2012-ish era is Fuck Quest.

>>49349191
>>Discuss how we can better /tg/

Ban image dumps/request threads/character threads, they don't belong on /tg/ outright

Ban CYOAs and Risk games and tell them to move it to /qst/

Ban drawfag threads and tell them to move to /ic/.

Ban storytimes

Ban build-a collaobrative story/build-a setting threads and tell them to take it to /qst/

Ban generals, especially worldbuilding general

Ban Jumpchain, it belongs on /qst/

Ban WIP/painting or any making/crafting minis/models and tell them to take it to /diy/, where it's obviously more appropriate.

I think I've covered all the bases.

>>49349817
And if you look at suptg, you'll also see that 95% of those quests DO have quest in the title/subject. And they weren't even obliged to, they did it just for you.

Now imagine we let quests back on, a few come back, and those who come back have to tag appropriately. We'll go back to having a dozen at most and you get to filter it all.
Everyone wins.

Except every time proof was actually produced it was quests taking up as much as 10% off the entire /tg/ board across 10 pages.

Quests were never a threat to /tg/, and they have never taken up all of the front page, EVER.

>>49349817
I see a majority that do, though. sup/tg/ isn't even as reliable a source, since we have the actual archives. But I don't see a significant number that do not have it.

>>49349849
Samefagging would be obscene, it would be pointless.

Please clarify by post instead of presuming one person.

>>49349827
>Consolidate our Magic generals.
Nah.

While I don't like the fact that there hare half a dozen Magic generals covering all the formats, trying to force Standard players and Legacy players and EDH players to share a thread would be a hell of shitposting. You might as well make a dedicated D&D edition war general.

>>49349314
>Re-instate the Commander Keen rule

Say NO to this bullshit slippery slope excuse rule. There are no equivalent rules of this on other boards, so /tg/ should not be an exception.

LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING WEBSITE THAT DOES RPing HAS THEIR PLAY BY POST SHIT IN THEIR OWN BOARD! WHY IS /tg/ THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IDEA?

>>49349820
It doesn't make up for the fact that both the mod of /tg/ and /qst/ are one in the same. He was deleting these threads nonstop a few hours ago.

>>49349666
Hey, I know what that pic is from! Nice trips too.

>>49349869
I respectfully disagree with about half of what you said.

An official stickied one would be better because that would ensure that a lot more people would vote instead of just all the butthurt faggots who are currently in here.

>>49349881
I'm firmly for letting them back, I think you tabbed the wrong person.

>>49349827
You see, magic's formats created a divided set of communities that don't play well together in real life, and under the veil of protection that is the Internet their shitslinging turns into an all out war. Putting standard with legacy is like putting 4e d&d with 3.pf, or WHFB with WH40k.

>>49349961
I'd assume those who don't care, wouldn't vote.

>>49349618
Because "You drove away EVERYONE WHO WAS CREATING CONTENT" is basically their only defense to ask quests back. otherwise they are like "quests are dying" like that's a /tg/ problem.

It is not. Either quests have enough people interested on them to sutain themselves, or they dont. Either way, just because something can't have it's own board, it doesnt mean it belongs here. If another board wants to take them, like /lit/, they are welcomed to it, as far as I'm concerned. But they were not welcomed here, we finally got them out, and we don't want them back.

>>49349595
This

Keep the quests gone. They're just panhandlers who want to leech off the traffic on a larger board.

If you want to advertise, buy a fucking banner.

>>49349947
No. That removes 9 threads on average at any given time, not accounting for magic spoiler season

>>49349961
That's also fair. Since about 90% of the board could not give less of a fuck about the whole thing.

>>49349953
That's nice. Those boards are quite dead. Two entire threads out of the over 8000 on the site are real, real old.

>Implying Hiro gives even a single fuck

Just out of pure interest, are there any people here who are indifferent about quests?
Maybe there's this silent majority that just literally gives no fucks about this.

>>49349645
Here. Send CYAO e CYAO jumpchain to /qst/. It will increase their traffic and allow them to have porn. Make it a red board. In turn, ask people on /tg/ to really tone down the "durr hurr elf slave what do 2016 edition" crap that is 'magical realm'. There should be an autoban/word replaced for Magical Realm even. it's stale meme and it opens bad doors to bad places.

>>49349968

That's a non-argument.

>>49350001
Quests never caused an issue on here. It was only the mod and a small minority of fa/tg/uys who bitched about it. Nazimod has no intention of fixing /qst/ because its clear he made it as a containment board

>>49350001
That would be the Lurkers.
And the "sit back and watch the storm from my popcorn seat," users.

>>49350001

>WIP/Painting is a part of the every miniature game and therefore /tg/.


There are many, many physical work related skills related to /diy/ that the people there can help with their knowledge and skills far better for modellers, rather than people walking in asking about craft store paints and not knowing the first thing (which is use PRIMER or THIN YOUR PAINTS or DON'T USE PAINT STRAIGHT FROM THE POT/BOTTLE).


...or, Resin dust WILL kill you, WEAR A MASK, wetsand, etc etc.

...or glue/plastic cement fumes WILL kill you, wear a respirator, ventilation, etc. you get the dealie.

The /diy/ folks know their technical and work safety shit far more than most of the WIP general posters.

Gentlemen,

Here is the problem: Do quest threads take up a sizable amount of front page space for extended periods of time?

Even if there's only 10 quest threads up at a time, if they're hogging the front page for 90% of the time that they're up, there's a problem.

It's not quantity, it's time on front page that is the issue.

>>49350011
That's not true at all, friendo-amigo, mi comprade. It takes a lot of oil to run a ship but just a spoon of it to ruins that ship water supply.

>>49350001
I was indifferent until nearly the entire frontpage save for like 2 threads were consistently Quests, and most of those were like textbook edgy/weaboo/fetish garbage or flavour of the month non-/tg/ media quests.

Why are questfags complaining about getting their own board?

>>49349218

Agreed.

>>49349191

No to the first. Yes to the second.

>>49350035
Is it thought? Catalog is native now. There are filters out there that literally push up lower threads to fill the gaps.

>>49349995
Well, let them back then. I dont mind them.

>>49350025
Every single complaint thread I have ever seen on /tg/ has had plenty of people saying that they wanted quests off of the board, and complaints in other threads always universally ran with the theme of "I hate these stupid quests and smut threads". Your vocal minority you keep talking about is a myth.

>>49349966
It is however a relevant statistic to collect.

>>49350041
>Why are questfags complaining about getting their own board?
Apparently because they're losing their audiences or something like that.

>>49350035
That's why other people are suggesting having them bump to page 2, and why I'm suggesting a built-in optional quest filter.

This problem can be fixed without /qst/ existing, but the mod just really wanted quests gone.

>>49350035
Everyone on the planet uses the catalogue anyway, and there's been proposed solutions, such as preventing any thread with Quest in the subject from hitting the front page.
Or just fucking filter them.

>>49350041
1) that only became a thing when all quests were quarrantined here, with just /tg/ native quests, they were not a real problem.
2) Questfags never asked for their board. Its a quarrantine. They have little to no input, the mod does not care and runs it like a dissused tissue dispenser.

>>49350059
That's like kicking those dirty gipses that sell crap out of the mall, and then they want to be let in back because without the mall clients, nobody visits their shit shops at the park.

How's the mall's fault that their product doesn't draw anyone's attention?

Make a board for developing things. Games, stories, comics, whatever. The development process itself. Call it /dev/.

As for quests, I do not give a fuck.

>>49350063
What's your thoughts from this thread and the strawpoll here >>49349892 ?

>>49350035

>>49350063
Please consider the page 2 or 3 restriction idea as an alternative. Its the simplest way to make nearly everyone happy.

>>49350063
Please don't bring back quests. It hasn't even been a week, this is just reactionary bullshit.

>>49350078
Some humourless bastard was calling for the removal of the feature "now that quests are gone". He got shouted down real quick, and his thread was deleted, but it was still something at least one person thought was a good idea.

WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS

>>49350035
How long will that last though?

If, for example, one needs 5 posts a minute to continuously stay on the front page, a super active thread can stay there for at most an hour before autosaging.

This phenomenon practically mathematically impossible.

Ban quests on /tg/, make it a must to use /qst/.
If a quest had a drop in players it means your players are not interested enough to go look for you.
Ergo you are shit.

>>49350041
>entire frontpage save for like 2 threads were consistently Quests
This never happened. the number of screenacaps of that event would number in the dozens. Why didn't YOU screencap it and use it as anti-quest ammunition?

Because it never happened.

Could we switch /tg/ away from being a blue board?
It's not like a whole lot of people abide by the blue rules anways. Plenty of NSFW content is posted, and we're all generally mature enough to handle it as long as it's on-topic.

Besides, kids shouldn't be on this website to begin with. It's blocked on just about every public wifi server I've tried to access it from.

>>49350035
If you'd paid fucking attention to it while quests were still here, you'd have seen that maybe 2-3 quests were at the top of the catalog at any given point. Because of the speed of /tg/ they got knocked back to page 2 fairly quickly, because we QMs aren't miracle workers. We don't write that fast, and new threads and Generals in particular bump us off. If there are 10 threads on the board, the chances are also good some of them are in autosage or are concluded, and sitting around near the bottom of the catalog.

That's been how it worked forever. All you needed to do was actually watch it for a while and see for yourself. If you missed that opportunity I'm sorry, but it's not remotely as bad as people like to claim.

>>49350063
Hiro please look at this thank you I love you >>49350093.

>>49350063
No quests on /tg/, please.

>>49350107
It's been months, and /qst/ is awful.

>>49350063
Hiroyuki. Here's are two polls taken by the sample pool here in this thread.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11226987/r
http://www.strawpoll.me/11227013/r

It's a small portion of the board, but please, consider it.

>>49350100
Yeah, what he said

>>49350115
This

>>49350117
No, because I just filtered them and went on in my life. I don't see this like a fucking propaganda war, you autist.

>>49350125
Yeah, open the gates of hell for the smut crowd to shove their penises on everythread.

>>49350063
What did the red palm tree man mean by this?

Hpw about a genre fiction board for everything that can't really be discussed on 4chan and usually falls back on /tg/, I actually don't mind such threads but if such things had their own board it would be way easier for a lot of reasons.

>>49350093
So kind of like a catch all creative board?

>>49350063
Please don't get rid of generals. They're useful in keeping /tg/ from getting flooded with threads that are all somewhat related to each other.

For example, if I have a question on Pathfinder that I want answered quickly, I hit /tg/ and look for a /pfg/. If generals were banned people would have to make new threads each time they want to discuss something.

Likewise, encourage people to look for generals before making a new thread and cluttering the board.

>>49350125
I prefer it to stay Blue with just a hint of racy content sometimes hidden behind spoilers.
Moderation (In the sense of limiting yourself) is key, and making it straight red would ruin that.

>>49350001
As someone from /m/ who's visiting, it reminds me of the "toku is not /m/" crowd. Some vocal shitposters, people who argued against them, and at least a third of the board who didn't care.

Mods got sick of it eventually.

Gentlemen and ladies,

We are not Democrats and Republicans here, we can make compromises.

Discuss ways of not spamming quests on the front page while also not flat out assigning them to death. This is what we must do tonight.

This is extremely interesting.

Now onto other topics

How the hell do we keep /pol/ bait shit like

>Are cops paladins?

Out?

>>49350144
Agreed.

So long as linking to NSFW was not banned its fine. People who want to see it see it, those who dont, dont.

>>49350138
And why couldn't you leave those who wanted quests in peace while you filtered everything out?

>>49350150
It's already been suggested, enforce the tagging rule so anti-quest people can filter it all out.

>>49350150
No. We're the French Revolution now

>>49350150
I'm willing to make any form of compromise as long as it involves quest threads themselves not being on /tg/.

>>49350157
Report and ignore. No replies and the thread dies.

>>49350141
>So kind of like a catch all creative board?

Except for drawfagging and writing stories, right?

>>49350155
There's atleast basic IP identification to prevent that. It's not something that can't be beat, but it's something atleast.

>>49349389
If you want /qst/ to be different that makes sense.
But it doesn't belong here. quest grew big enough to get it's own board, just like when /tg/ grew big enough.
There's nothing wrong in getting a dedicated board.

>>49350150
Simple. Restrict them to bump to page 2.
They are made on page 1, then drop naturally and stay down on page 2 until they hit autosage or go quiet.
Most people use the catalog anyway, so it's not a hassle for anyone.

>>49350063
Plz have a look at this: >>49349769 to see an example of how many people want quests back on tg

>>49349769

>>49350138
But there are a huge number, according to you, who do. And not one, not anyone, has ever screencapped a front page full of quests, ever.

Everything ELSE under the sun gets screencapped, but not an incredibly significant and telling even that "everyone" claims happened.

>>49349460
The problem is that someone ALWAYS replies to it, then the argument shits up the entire thread.

>>49350169
Pretty much this. I'm all for improving the board they're on, but not bringing them back here.

>>49350170
>Reporting a thread you don't like that doesn't break the rules and is technically on-topic
No thanks

>>49350114
It's hard to tell these days. Dumbasses are taking their shit seriously.

>>49350150
It used to be that questfags maintained their own little special time chart. X quest and Y quest gets the board on A B and C days, at D E and F times. That sort of shit.

But of course people new to it didn't know and every time someone violated it, someone else got buttmad because they can't police themselves hard enough.

>>49349738
Questfags confirmed for smug cunts that can't adapt.

>>49350166
Because many quests went unfiltered, I got name-called and shit whenever I asked them to label themselves, and the amount of quests on the top pages meant that I always had to browse via the catalogue anyway.

>>49350170
You underestimate the power of pol bait

>>49350174
>quest grew big enough to get it's own board
Except it isn't actually big enough to support itself.

Pretty much. That way, we don't all have to spread out to /hyw/ on /co/, /wbg/ here, /gdg/ on /vg/, and probably other generals in other places I don't know about because I don't go to those boards.

That way, discussion isn't spread nearly as thin. It'd give everyone one hell of a more fighting chance and would have the (ability) to foster some pretty fun growth.

It's something I've been thinking about for awhile now.

>>49350174
No they didn't.
Quests are not active communitys, they are transient communitys, you would need a good 3 to 4 times as many people active over the day to make an equivilent board to /tg/ based on quests.

>>49350104
>>Can you please explain your reasoning for the following:
>>>Ban drawfag threads and tell them to move to /ic/

Literally a dedicated pre-existing board for that stuff.

>>storytimes

Sometimes it belongs in /lit/ or /x/.

>>>Ban [collaboartive story is just a quests so not that] build-a setting threads and tell them to take it to /qst/

It's like an evo thread except you're evolving a fucking setting.

>>WIP/painting to /diy/

Obvious practicality/Applicable knowledgebase reasons.

>>49350183
You're on a thread that was created solely for quest reactionaries to join in. Your sample size is skewed by a shitload.

>>49350194
To be fair, catalog browsing is the superior method.

>>49350174
It hasn't grown big enough for it's own board though. The board is dead.

>>49350187
Just filter it mate, why does it affect you if they're enforced and kept hidden from your sight?

>>49350194
Then how about we just enforce the tagging rule?
Plus
>not using catalogue all the time anyway

>>49350194
> I got name-called and shit whenever I asked them to label themselves
We questfags did the same thing. It wasn't mandatory, so we couldn't force them to comply.

I'm loving this thread. Questfaggots have been in the /qa/ thread all day jerking each other off, now they bring it here and they can't handle all the dissenting opinions.

Enjoy your dead board. You deserve it.

>>49350131
Somebody posted it in /qst/ though.

>>49350173
You underestimate how serious people are taking this discussion, especially when the admin has made himself present

>>49350144

Hear, hear. I liked the /wst/ on /tg/ because it was silly, fun and racy, (at least up until the shitpostening began) but nothing gross if you didn't want it. They moved it to /d/ and suddenly it was all "HERE'S A DOZEN PICS OF DICKGIRLS APPARENTLY MADE OUT OF VINYL!" all staring me in the face.
No thanks! That shit's gross, it's all unspoilered, and it clogs up the discussion.

(Not that the persistent shitposters near the end of the /tg/ run were better.)

>>49350150
Keep them to page 3 or 2
Mandatory quest in subject field

Thats it

This was disproved because questfaggots were editing the evidence to make it seem like they were in the right.

Like when you sabotaged the archive and blamed "Anti-questfags" until the archive owner proved it was the questfaggots themselves being asspained and you all shut up about it right quick.

And this doesn't include all the CYOA and the many quests without quest in their name.

Turning /qst/ into /dev/ would be a viable idea.
Itd be like a more broad spectrum /x/ really. From before the /b/ raiding.
