Zero tolerance policies against real politics. Discussing fictional politics is fine, but if you want to be a political philosopher you can go elsewhere.

Also, a community-based agreement to ignore bait and troll posters, starting with the one above me.

Fictional worldbuilding without any reference to reality in one way or another is... well, ungrounded. It makes discussing the politics of a fictional setting utterly impossible.

What /tg/ needs isn't MORE gutting of content. If we go down that path we'll only be left with a slow moving /pfg/ and /5eg/ because the rest has been banished/moved to separate boards. Until generals are banned of course.

Seriously, if /pol/ dropping the occassional redpill hurts your sphincter so much you can go to GiantITP forums and virtue signal all you want there.

>Discussing fictional politics
You can't discuss fictional politics without bringing up real world history and as a result real politics. We had interesting threads about fictional geography and politics like 'what if Atlantis as a landmass existed' but they boil down to our knowledge of real world to create believable world of fiction.

I think thats what they meant, no discussing modern politics, or falling for thinly veiled attempts at political bait, but discussing real life historical events relevant to in-universe events would be perfectly acceptable.

The idea is to create a sense of importance and urgency, to prioritize politics-spam as a threat to the board's health. That can get it weeded out more efficiently.

This is why we have moderation in the first place: The worst offenses need to be removed quickly to minimize the detrimental impact they have on our experience. If we have real-world politics flaming here every day, that's energy we're spending on unnecessary acidity and hatefulness instead of traditional games discussion.

I gotta confess here.
I unintentionally derailed a filename thread by making a brief tangent to something related to social issues. I tried steering it back but it got out of control and I was half-assed in my attempts. Nobody was posting images and instead it was a mess. I'm surprised nothing happened to me or the thread. I wouldn't even mind getting banned for it at the time, though it's probably too late to punish me now.
By the least give out warnings next time in case I do this again because I'm trying to cut politics (cancer) out of my life. The environment of current events is already a quagmire.

The problem is only half of it gets deleted. You can go to archive and find deleted political posts. Know what they have in common? Most of them don't belong to mainstream American politics. I don't say it means they are good but the other half of the shitstorm which usually derails threads in the first place doesn't get touched at all. You can ask for stricter priorities on politics-spam as much as you want, as long as one side gets special treatment and gets spared from punishment this spam won't go anywhere. All shitposts are equal but some are more equal than others.
>>
Ignoring bait would be enough, but it's a user problem that extra moderation won't solve. /pol/ vs anti/pol/ slapfights happen because instead of ignoring and reporting when someone posts really fucking obvious bait like WE for some reason people will sperg out and create the attention loop the baiting poster wanted.

>>
>>55369102
While I agree with the ideals of laissez faire moderation, that only works when there's a sense of community and enough agreement between participants to get rid of undesirables. That's how 4chan has always worked, but now it can't, because there's too many undesirables to realistically coordinate the good eggs.

Now, if you're literally arguing for no social moderation at all, you don't know where you are. This is 4chan, where anonymity makes it so social experiments are the norm. It's not a free-for-all. Everything in it socializes you to behave a certain way. That's why newfags get shit on.

This is pretty much entirely because there's nobody making OC outside the dedicated art threads anymore. All the artists who would spontaneously commemorate a good story or funny rules observation with fanart left for different places years back, and all the new artists already have their own spaces on the internet they stick to.

There's a lack of the spontaneous drive to create that drove the more memorable discussions back then. All the art is cloistered in exactly two threads (Drawfag and Towergirls), all the writing is contained to exactly three threads (The Jumpchain COYA, "That Guy" threads that basically function as generals, and the Worldbuilding thread). Outside of a few dedicated projects with dedicated generals the OC creators never leave, there's no more drive to add onto other people's ideas, expand on their mythologies, or solidify them as part of the board. Nothing organically grows as part of the board's culture any more, in the same way a character like Noh did.

I don't think there's really a way to fix it anymore. I don't think the board is dead, or unusable, but the way the board is formatted and creative projects work these days is antithetical to the sort of open, collaborative, spontanious drive we used to have, and I honestly don't have think we even have the population to do it again these days.
>>
>>55369562
Even if there was a difference, the differences would be purely arbitrary because tabletop is not that big of a niche to where you can't find any overlap with other forms of media.

That's ontopic.

>"we hate D&D" thread

That's a different form of shitposting, and not really relevant to what we're discussing.

The issue with offtopic shitposting is that traditional games are very much a niche hobby. We're kind of outnumbered here if people decided to routinely spam offtopic threads here.

There's a lot of things I liked more about old /tg/. The drawfags not being cloistered together in the drawthread, writefags being encouraged to write things that were often only tangentially related to traditional games, and generally more love towards OC.

But, to say "Old /tg/ was better because of all the offtopic shitposting, machine spam, board raids, and twenty daily troll threads" is kind of ridiculous. As much as I dislike the current daily troll threads we have now, there's at least the benefit that there's fewer of them.

I personally don't believe in a "Zero Tolerance" policy. The occasional offtopic thread is alright, and it only becomes an issue if people try to routinely make the same offtopic thread or even to try and create an offtopic general or pseudo-general.

If you want to convert a video game setting or some of the mechanics into tabletop it's on-topic.

All that needs to happen is slightly stricter moderation. Keep /pol/, but make sure that they are contained. They don't have to be contained as hard as /mlp/, but there should be more enforcement on blatant /pol/bait.

Okay, and whose fucking fault is that? We have dozens of on-topic threads daily and they usually either die before hitting 150 posts or get derailed by /pol/shit and general shitposting by 3aboos who can't take a joke or valid criticism on their busted ass game.

People being too anal about things being on-topic has stagnated every single board that follows this philosophy, especially when one of the oldest tenets of 4chan is the fact that if you want to talk about something, you talk about anywhere BUT the board that's most related to the topic.

/tg/ is one of the sanest boards here, and the only real annoyances are shit you really cant stop like false flagging and general trolling. Even then, you can watch /tg/ be the only board who can, at least alot of this time, still carry on a decent thread.

Only real improvement I'd like to see is maybe a mod learn to spot some /v/ or /pol/ spill over with the whole "sjw's are taking over!" shit. They are made to shit post and you know it. Unless its some major reveal like "Emp is retconned to be female" or somthing, then purge it.

Your kind is why /tg/ is a barren wasteland and if there's anyone who deserves to get banned, it's the fun police who make it their solemn duty to make the board as stagnant as humanly possible for the sake of maintaining a few shitty rules.

Congrats, you are lawful-stupid given form and agency.

Fuck "OC" and fuck "content creators." They've always been shitty pseudo-tripfags that develop cults of personality the second they make something significant and immediately make every thread a circle jerk about their pretty pictures as soon as they show up. Artists suck. We don't need them back.

The board is fine, shut the fuck up. Your precious good old days when people would draw your Thri-Keen waifu unprompted are gone. Go to tgchan if you want to hang out with all your favorite artfags again.

The problem was never with "Lewd in General", but "Lewd Generals."

I like lewd stuff. Some of the better threads in the past were just short silly lewd jokes. But, the problem with the Lewd Generals and the ERP/WST/Magical Realm crew is that they don't know how to treat lewd things with moderation or as a joke, and they would figure out how to push things well past the cringe-point and still keep going until any humor was dead and gone.

Lewd never really left /tg/, it's just that you can't make a lewd post anymore without attracting the worst kind of people to it.

Not really the Emperor could breed normally but they were not Primarchs they were sensei, Primarchs needed more to be made, and the excuse they had wave a lot is that the reason they are all male is that they are made using direct dna from Big E so they need to be male and marines are the same as their Primarchs are male.

Is it really?

Because looking at the catalog, the amount of threads that have over 150 posts can be counted on one hand, anything that isn't D&D, MtG, WH40k sinks to the bottom of the catalog, and we've been having the same "we hate D&D" thread for the past few months, that have consistently reached bump limit more often than not.

This. Being a "content creator" always seemed like an excuse to make a name for yourself on an anonymous image board, so I don't miss them.

It may not be a popular opinion, but in nine years here I've found that as soon as a "writefag" or a "drawfag" gains any degree of notoriety they immediately spawn a shitty cult of personality, and something like that goes against the spirit of the board in the same way a tripcode does. I get that everyone misses the funny meme artists who would draw comics for the monthly funny meme character we'd all come up with, but artists and writers have always been the most attention whoring part of any board's "board culture." The only reason we miss ours so much is because we let them become such a central part of board culture before they got kicked out.

People will tell you all about how the nazimod ran out our precious artist, but they forget to mention where you can find those exact same people these days: tgchan. Tumblr. Furaffinity. Look at those places and decide for yourself if we need that back here.

Decide if you really want another "/tg/ Unified Setting" train wreck, another "Love Can Bloom," or more Sergals.

Hell, look at what the content creators that still float around here make: do we actually want more "Towergirls?" another "Disney Villains Victorious?" More fucking Cestree comics?

"Content creators" suck.

Hello. I'm a content creator.

I've written dozens of stories for /tg/. All anonymously. And, a fair amount of them have gotten screencapped, plussed into the hundreds on suptg, and some have even found their way onto Reddit where they've been upvoted to the top of the game stories subreddits. A precious few of my stories are considered /tg/ classics, and continue to be reposted even though some of them were written close to a decade ago.

And, frankly, what upsets me is that in part I agree with you. I think people should write and make stuff anonymously on 4chan, because it prevents a cult following, and makes people judge each work for itself, rather than its creator.

But, what makes me disagree with you is that aside from being a writer, I'm also an artist. Not a good one, but I did try to draw for /tg/.

And you hate me for it. What the fuck.

I didn't sign my work, but I can't exactly change my style. And, when you draw enough, people will inevitably give you a name, even if you never adopt one yourself. And, perhaps irrationally, people start to hate you the more they see you, the more they recognize you, because that's part of some people's nature.

You made me want to stop drawing for /tg/.

Perhaps not you, but your mindset. Not just yours though, but one shared by many people, myself included. My instinctual mindset, the mindset that I would have fallen into forever if I hadn't been on the other side of it. The mindset that makes you hate people who try to stick out from the crowd, to hammer any nail taller than the rest.

Drawing isn't easy. It requires inspiration, and /tg/ was an inspiration. But the huge amount of negativity towards any content creators really wasn't apparent to me until my art allowed people a chance to focus their negativity somewhere. I'm certain that if I wrote all my stories with a name, people would only remember the worst of my stories and hate me for them, rather than reposting the good ones.

>Primarchs needed more to be made
If we go with regular fluff then Primarchs have different biology than humans and Emperor. Primarchs are living Astartes organisms, born and grown with all the additional organs humans receive as implants when Marines are created. Yes, Big E used his perfect DNA to make them but he engineered new organs which his body didn't have. He could've created girls (he has one X chromosome anyway, he only needed to duplicate it) or boys if he wanted.

If you don't like what some anon posts, then just ignore it. That's what smarter faggots have been doing since the beginning. /Tg/ has also had some of its best threads through derailment. There's a reason we have this saying "You don't even need any other boards".

I've been on this thread for years and I've only ever heard the term from people who migrated from some shitty forum culture like RPGcodex or some shit.

It's not going to catch on, so take your shit and leave.

>i know i'd get banned for being a shitposter if I had a name
>i'll say you would! yeah! thats smart

All you're going to do is admit that you're the kind of shitposter that would get banned from this board if you attached a name to your posts? That's pretty obvious, so I guess this discussion is done because that's basically what I've been saying.
>>
>>55370844
>When they succeed, that helps grow our hobbies.
That's not how it works.
>>
>>55370890
If that's what you got from my posts then by all means, go for it champ.

Maybe the board will improve a bit when you actually leave but i seriously doubt you will.

You putting on a trip would be a great day for this board and for you.

Doubt me? Go on, give it a test run, See how long it takes before people start calling for you to get banned. You can then go back to being anonymous, but with the added benefit of knowing how much people don't care for your posts here.

I stand corrected, but you still haven't explained how off topic isn't shitposting and no amount of spectacle will change that.

Luckily, someone posted a handy guide. Stop me if you've read this one before:
>general setting talk
/tg/
>discussion directly related to the games
/v/

Quit trying to overcomplicate things so you can justify your faggy FOTM anime discussion thread disguised as """setting discussion"""

Off topic is our noble tradition and not shitposting

Was it a thread about the movies or the TTRPG?

>>55371034
Thank you for being the smartest person in this thread

And now off-topic became an excuse to shit the board up.
>>
>>55371159
A tradition of shitposting, yes.
>>
>>55371146
That still doesn't solve the problem though no matter how many times you repeat yourself. It's just a shitty arbitrary distinction that only serves to fracture discussion more than it already has and the only people who care this much about staying on topic are people like >>55369759 who would rather the board stagnate than actually generate solid discussion.
>>
>>55371161
It was a thread that was about the RPG but got deleted anyways because Star Wars was a movie and NAZImod felt as though it was off-topic, even when the thread was actually talking about the RPG.
>>
>>55371176
It's always hit or miss but in healthy environment it hits more often than it fails

Meta-threads were a mistake
>>
>>55371176
Staying on topic has neutered this fucking board no matter how much you try and shift the blame.
There's only so many ways you can agree about something before shit gets stagnant.

Also, there's a difference between talking about turning Tetris into a tabletop game and derailing threads to bring up /pol/ shit.
>>
Allow quest threads on all boards. Mods can move the haremshit /a/nime quests to /a/.
>>
>>55371193
How does "talk about videogames on the fucking videogames board" serve to fracture discussion about the TTRPGs? How is following the rules of the site arbitrary?
>>
>>55371193
How about you just stay in /b/, where nothing is offtopic?

Functionally no. All offtopic decreases the amount of board relevant discussion equally. There is no difference between /pol/ shit, /d/ shit, or /b/ shit. It's all still shitposting.

Because you're dividing the fanbase to fulfill some arbitrary ruling that doesn't even serve its own purpose in curbing shitposting.
>>55371285
Do you really think that a shitposter is going to go out of their way to make it obvious that they're talking about off-topic shit? All they have to do is basically go "hey, how do I convert X to D&D" and bam, we're suddenly on topic.

All you're doing is driving away more people, which is the last thing that we need honestly.

If you want to see shitposting, look no further than the people who purposefully derail threads because the thread "isn't related to /tg/ enough."

If you want to talk about something, NEVER talk about it on the thread that actually relates to whatever you're talking about.

Everyone who made the board great ended up leaving because the mods were literally "NO FUN ALLOWED" and now there's a vacuum that shitposters and generals have taken up since quest threads got lumped into the gulag known as /qst/.

Frankly I can't tell anymore who is making these threads. 3aboos? 3.PF haters? Both of them in delirious coupling? None and these threads are made by industrious trolls and salt mining companies?

>Because you're dividing the fanbase
No you're not. You're telling people to use the right board for its intended purpose. If the while fanbase is discussing the vidya on the Vidya, then there's no splitting beyond topics which - and stick with me here - IS HOW 4CHAN BOARDS WORK. You can browse two different board's, you know.

Christ, it's like explaining platforming mechanics to Dean Takahashi
>>
>>55371384
And what if they're not? What if instead they're circlejerking about the plot of Tetris or their favorite Tetris character or making threads asking people to stat the L-shape block so they can do more of the former? What does that garbage add to /tg/

I don't know what's worse, the fact that you're a /v/irgin or the fact that you're this ignorant of how 4chan actually works.

And why would you need to convert a game that already exists? Why would said pointless conversion that already exists warrant its own thread instead of just going in the Board Games General? Why do you have to rely on ad hominems since your arguments have no legs to stand on.
>>
>>55372593
Then enlighten me, faggot. If I'm so wrong why does the Shadowrun general on /tg/ and /vg/ both exist without somehow consuming each other? Why aren't you in there trying to force them to discuss everything on /tg/ since apparently this is the One True Board of Shadowrun discussion?

>And why would you need to convert a game that already exists?
Who says anyone NEEDS to do anything? People might WANT to discuss how else to turn Tetris into a tabletop game and as far as I can tell, it'd be on topic.
>Why would said pointless conversion that already exists warrant its own thread instead of just going in the Board Games General?
Because what YOU personally feel is irrelevant to the board has nothing to do with whether or not the thread itself is violating the rules.

Also, nice goalpost moving, guess you can't read so you switch gears to deflect from your own incompetence.
>>
>>55372674
>If I'm so wrong why does the Shadowrun general on /tg/ and /vg/ both exist without somehow consuming each other?
Because the people who post in the generals are, on average, much chiller individuals than the faggots who feel the need to slot every single discussion on /tg/ into predefined parameters that nobody besides them ultimately care about.

I mean if you talk about the video game in the tabletop general, and vice-versa, nobody will give a shit because you're still talking about the setting and nobody gives a fuck about fulfilling some distinction between the fandoms.

Most custom systems on /tg/ exist because some dude decided to convert his favorite game/movie/comic/etc. into a tabletop game, not that I'd expect you to know that considering how ignorant you are on board culture as a whole.
>>
>>55372805
So what you're saying is that people tend to talk about the videogame on the videogames board and about the tabletop game on the tabletop game board with precious few exceptions?

Glad we had this chat.
>>
>>55372875
I'm saying that literally nobody besides you and the rest of the fun police cares about shit staying on topic when off topic shit has been a thing since 4chan was made.

But you're right, I'm glad we had this chat too, if only because it tells me that 4chan as a whole was much better off back when people thought that it was only for social rejects.
