/v/ is mainstream now so it can't be fixed.

Ban all waifu garbage and blanket ban /pol/tard and contrarian shitposting under rule 3

Regarding the last one, there's a difference between having a legitimate criticism and going ">NU V ACTUALLY PLAYS THIS CASUAL SJW SHIT" so much that you can't even talk about popular games at all

stop posting in threads about videogames and consoles you don't like

Not vidya.

stop replying to stupid posts

you guys have lost all sense of humor and assume everyone is out to troll you, just take a fucking joke or don't reply

If someone is making an ass of themselves, for fucks sake just don't reply, its a lot more embarrassing for them to type out a giant autistic post when nobody replies to it. that shit cuts deep on an imageboard when most people don't have any real social interaction aside from it.

You want to make some fag on /v/ upset over his opinion? Ignore it. Their social anxiety will hurt much more than whatever bullshit reply you give them.

You ever make a real long post and get no replies because nobody gives a fuck? Yeah, like that.

Delete it all. The whole site. Just purge the whole fucking thing and let it fade into memory.

Moderate weebshit

>>375927064
delete /pol/. I'm tired of alt right nazis invading

>>375927536
to add, Hiro will not fix the board for you

polfags arent getting banned
were not getting flags or dubs
were not banning animeshit

(YOU) have to make /v/ great again, not Hiro.

You can't. It would be like trying to fix /tv/.

>>375927064
please delete /pol/

>>375927064
/v/ is beyond salvation
its only good for giggles, chuckles and shitposting, genuine video game discussion is rare, and it doesn't take long until it gets ruined

Ban phoneposters

>>375927064
We need to have a ban on threads starting with:
>*blocks your path*
(or even asterisk threads all together)
>What did he mean by this
(This is good as a reaction post, not that start of a topic)
>This is "character name". Say something nice about the.
>So this is the power of "noun"
>OWO
>"noun" BTFO
>What went wrong/right
>Can "noun" ever recover
>Now the dust has settled

These aren't chan culture, they are annoying shitpost threads full of garbage.

ban everyone that is against playstation

>>375927536
It hurts because obvious bait posts always get replies. Even replies that say
>nice bait
Keep the thread above water, and these idiots think they're cool for spotting it out and getting more people to see it. Another problem is samefagging and bumping.

I say we put a system in place to keep OPs from bumping threads. No double posting without having at least one other ID in the thread and you can only post a maximum of like 3 times without anyone else posting.

People just need to learn to ignore bait and (You)farming. The only reason we get so much of it is because people keep replying to it.

>>375927859
You forgot
>delete /pol/

God I'm so sick of their garbage and their stupid fucking orange faced idiot

>>375927487
yeah, what we need is another echo chamber on the internet were you only talk to people that like the exact same things as you do.

I was under the impression that was already how things worked.

Remember when mods banned shitty troll posts AND people who replied to obvious shitposting?
Mods needs to teach newfags to just ignore.

>>375927775
>>375927638
Samefagging. /pol/ wouldn't be a problem if we can do something about all the shitposting Canadians and redditors.

Thank god for the merge because we found out who the shitposters were.

>>375927973
Deleting /pol/ makes it worse, newfag, it was tried already.

Split the board into one for each console?
/nin/ /ps/ /xb/ /pc/
That would certainly save a tonne of shitposting.
Suck /vp/ into /nin/

Range ban all mobile IPs.

Bring back flags so I can filter ca****ans

>>375928070
>>375928161

For a time. I think it's like ten minutes or something. After that, OPs can bump their own threads.

>>375927064
There's no way to fix it, but at least we can have fun complaining about how shitty it is

If you delete /pol/ then they have no containment board and they fuck up other boards more than usual...

>>375928110
>one board for each console
Good luck moderating the composting
And what would happen to non-exclusives?

>>375927064
purge all discussion of non-japanese games

>>375928110
That wouldn't do anything. People will still invade other noards, plus, doesn't adding boards mean more money goes into the site?

>>375928191
Just IP ban Canadians. It's not as if they've ever contributed anything.

Close the board for a year then being it back with no fanfare

At this point it is the only solution

Face it, /v/ can't be fixed. Just search the catalog for one of the less cancerous threads.

>>375928191

Lol salty trumpturds getting triggered over everyone hating them and their shitty cheeto-layered dictator. Go back to your shitty board, 4chan was, and always will be majority democrat

Console War, or other Sony related threads, should be moved to a board called /sony/. This will allow normal discussion of video games.
Also a range ban on IPs from Canada and the entirety of the European Union until the Union is brought to it's knees.

People really need to start use sage again.

Since public sage went away, the sage went down way to much.

IP ban phones and Canadians. Watch the board's quality improve a hundred fold overnight.

The April Fool's flags proved that Canadians contribute to most of the shitposting that happens here and phoneposters never contributed anything worthwhile.

>>375928008
This entire board is an echochamber of contrarian shitposting, ruining threads so people can't talk about video games isn't helping

>>375927859

This

Maybe implement /r9k/ filter for a while, if only on OPs

>>375928301
I don't want /pol/ deleted but I think it's failed as a 'containment board'

>>375928105

We just had to ride out the storm. Moot caved to a temper tantrum.

>>375928326
Multiplats can be talked about individually across each platform's own board.
It would stop the arguments over a definitive version / comparisons. You could actually talk about the gameplay.

>>375928348
/vg/ probably wouldn't be needed anymore either.
so /v/ /vp/ and /vg/ get replaced by the 3 new boards.
/vr/ can probably stay because it covers a load of consoles not run by the big 3.

>>375927973
>>375928332
Worst ideas I've ever heard.

>>375928597

Just remove links to other boards from containment boards like /pol/ and /soc/ to discourage crossposting

>>375928443
I'm English. I don't give a fuck about Trump.
I even lurk /pol/, just I only want to see that shit when I look there once a week and not have it leak here the rest of the week.
/tg/ is my safehaven.

>all this talk of removing /pol/
I think it'd be funny because /pol/ will be every board then. Fucking do it. Why not.

>>375928923
Nope :) Delete /pol/ and ban any fascist/nazi posts that nobody cares or wants to see.

>>375928923
>implying /pol/ isn't already every board
it's the single biggest migrator of newfags on the site

>>375928427
Where do you think we are

>>375928859
Just make that shit bannable.
I'm sure if I kept starting threads on /a/ to say how shit anime may be, I'd get banned.
If I kept going on /k/ and saying no one should have weapons and only idiots enjoy them I'd get the boot.
etc.

Getting rid of /pol/ is one of the worst ideas possible. That would be like saying get rid of /mlp/ because you don't like ponies. Then all the bronies would post all over the site. Only pseudo-intellectual leftists want to get rid of /pol/ because they want to silence opinions they don't agree with.

Enact rule so posting on /pol/ prevents you from posting on any other board for 24 hours. This can be removed once /pol/ has been properly fixed.
Purge /pol/ of all the boot-licking shit-eating redditors and other cancer flooding into the board from 8ch, reddit, and voat. Make /pol/ great again.
Remove mobileposting; you can only read but not post on your phone.
All off-topic bait threads, be it about anime, sports, music, politics, movies, etc, should be kill on sight.
Permaban people who take console wars seriously.
Permaban everyone who even hints at being from NeoGAF.

>>375929083

That shit is ALREADY explicitly against the rules, mods don't give a fuck and they wouldn't give a fuck across four other boards either.


Fuck, you know how long shitposts stay up on /vr/?

>thread is already autosaging
Way to improve the site, mods

>>375929132
>Knows who goes on /pol/
Wow a /pol/tard pretending to hate /pol/, nice try, right wing retard, your post is easy to see through!

Make platform war and off topic faggotry an bannable offense.

>>375929091

I wouldn't give a fuck if they'd stay on their stupid board. You'd be right if /pol/ wasn't the busiest board on the site; it's supposed to contain this shit but all it does is bring in more of it.

>>375929246
To be fair the fastest way to improve /v/ is to hire more mods. I swear this shithole needs a dedicated mod to babysit it.

>>375929132

Please this

>>375929307

IT ALREADY IS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>375929272

Improving /pol/ is a key step to improving /v/. /pol/ won't stop shitting up our board and /tv/'s until theirs is fixed.
Fix /pol/ and you fix like 8 different boards on this site.

>>375929608

Mods don't give a fuck

>>375929620

Kek all these right wing retards. Just delete the board, it will make the site 500% better, just watch. I know you little nazis will be sad and mad that you cant post hourly threads about how you worship Hitler and Trump, but come on.
