- automatically ban images with reddit/tumblr/imgur filenames
- automatically ban users who link to other large forums
- mobile devices in view-only mode
- ban viral marketers and send live bombs do their doorsteps as a warning
- ban people who make off-topic threads
- ban rec threads
- ban template threads (Now that the dust has settled, This is x say something nice, What did they mean by this?, etc.)
- purge cesspits of irredeemable shit on /vg/ so people stop making generals on /v/ because the /vg/ threads can't be used to actually discuss vidya

Basically, actually enforce the rules and discourage people from coming here to shitpost and endlessly parrot memes.

Call me deluded, but I genuinely think /v/ has been better lately

It's a scapegoat (/v/ would still be shit with banned phoneposting because the site's demographics have expanded significantly), but it's not an innocent one either. It's just so fucking easy to ban evade with them it basically brings consequence-free shitposting to the masses. Not that ban evasion was particularly hard before either but there was at least some barrier to entry

Keep in mind that this isn't exactly a way of gauging users. The real amount is probably that, divided by four, since so many people use both PC and mobile posting, it's much less than many think it is.

On top of ban evasion, it also puts people into the mindset to make smaller, less interesting or detailed posts due to screen size/shitty touch screen keyboards/mobileposting while doing something else/etc. No one wants to use multiple greentext quotes and debate someone on why their favorite vidya is shit when they can just tap out "kys faggot cuck pcfagboxstationdottler" and throw in some extra politics buzzwords for some juicy replies.

I'm posting this from my phone right now while taking a dump. I've been here since. Christ. I'm not sure, but 2008 at the very least.

The reason I post from my phone nowadays is because decent smartphones are cheaper and navigation is much better than it was a few years ago especially with apps like Mimi. I assume this is, generally, the reason for the increase in mobile traffic. The whole internet is changing fast to adapt to exponential growth in mobile browsing, it's a very silly scapegoat.

/v/ is shit because of the posts that belong on Gaia, not an 18+ image board. Consolewar/e-celeb/recycling old memes instead of coming up with OC shit. It's gay as fuck but it isn't bannable.

People think phoneposters make this place worse because they can evade bans. Bannable content isn't bringing down /v/ though. It isn't plagued with porn 24/7, for example.

It'd be great if it was that easy but there's no reason to assume the majority of shitty posts are coming from phones. Or that there are more shitty posts coming from phones than good ones.

Especially on /v/, a board about video games. It's easier to post from your phone during load times than it is to post from a browser in many cases.

>mods are cancer

>>379144336
This. If they were as competent as the /a/ ones when it comes to dealing with frogposter and feels faggots we would have less of them here.
>>
>>379144952

/a/ also reports that shit en masse, on /v/ it's too normalized to draw much ire. For as stuck-up and hostile as /a/ is, they're less shitty than /v/. The mods care more (sometimes too much) and the people there care more, or at least get angry enough to report. There will never be an /ag/ to match /vg/ since they went on a cleanse over the winter and banned generals entirely.

In some ways /a/ is more true to classic 4chan than /v/ is. But they're a bunch of angry, elitist weebs so it's hard to appreciate them.
>>
>>379145669
The problem is there isn't enough elitism here because there's too many people and not enough mods;

You either get more mods (bad idea) or get less people or discourage people from coming.

/pol/ is an entirely different beast that /news/ ever was. They're not even comparable. I'm sure /pol/ is the biggest and fastest board right now. Removing /pol/ would be like removing /mlp/ and /vp/ only worse due to the dogmatic nature of politics. Making mobile view-only and banning reddit cookies is all you need to drastically improve every board.

F. No other option fixes 4chan when the mods and janitors are complete shit.

There weren't nearly as many such threads. In fact, I don't really have a vivid impression of what you speak. It's possible, I suppose. I do, however, remember the front page being completely full of pokemon threads, literally.
>>
>>379149742
This was bad, but nothing is as pervasive as /pol/. Only in /a/ is /pol/ bullshit moderated in any way. A lot of the smaller boards (/sci/ and /his/ for example) have at least 10 threads up at any time that are pure /pol/ shitposting. Banning phoneposters and browsers with leddit cookies will help, but only if mods seriously crack down on /pol/ bait will it stop. It's kinda surprising, but /v/ isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be as far a /pol/ shit goes. Sure it's a fast board, but as far as percentage of /pol/ bait is concerned, it's not that bad.

You can't, the internet is becoming more popular daily and 4chan is no longer "the secret club", if you look for an alternative go for chans on Tor, they are slow as fuck, riddled with CP and other illegal shit, but they will give you the oldschool 4chan feeling.

Literally most phoneposters don't use adblock software so this takes the "it doesn't add any financial value" Argument out the window since it's usually the desktop users.

You can try to pass the blame to /pol/ or plebbit or whatever, but at the end of the day a board is only as good as its posters. When the majority of that board legitimately hates 90% of all video games, what the fuck do you expect to happen to your video games board?

/v/'s collective hivemind is bad. While you may argue it is just 'board culture' it could be toned down by independent people who chose to stop acting upon it and parroting it.

Most games are not 'shit', most games are average. You having unreasonably high standards is not a mark of maturity or 'taste'.

Politics, e-celebrities, gamer culture, censorship, mass media, insular game communities, the Ess Jay Double Us and so on are all absolutely related to video games. They influence how people feel about games, what games get made, and influence 'us gamers' as a whole. If you do not like these things being discussed on /v/, you need to simply hide or filter their threads. Shitposting and arguing about it being 'not video games' is not only objectively false, but pointless and fruitless.

The 'stagnation' of the games industry is not caused by corporate greed moreso as it is caused by consumer apathy and ignorance. Tiny developers, shareware, and ancient forgotten gems of old games should be as much a discussion on this board as triple A titles are, but this is only rarely the case.

Go to /vg/ if you want actual discussion on games. It is a far superior platform for game discussion, but is significantly less entertaining then /v/.

>>
>>379155610
Every other website on the entire internet evolved into a safespace echo chamber that bans you for not being another cog in the machine.
Just eternally spinning in the same direction, no differentiation or variety.
4chan, on the other hand, lets you have unfiltered opinions with nonexistent consequences due to anonymity and the simple act of changing your IP (especially for mobilefags).
It's just that everyone is so sick of being in an echo chamber, that they start spouting effortless contrarian opinions just to spite those echo chambers.
Then it stops being about opinions, because then all you have to do is post anything even vaguely political and you can watch your thread reach Bump Limit while the other faggots go to work flinging shit at each other, themselves and any random people popping into the thread.
The only people who think /v/ is unfair and elitist are morons and lazy assholes who deserve to be spit on. The kind of people who don't bother to lurk and just demand everything to be handed to them no matter how cuntish they behave. Basically people like you. People who don't browse the board but think they know how it should be run.

I like how you did a pretty good analysis but then drew a completely moronic conclusion.
You basically say that 4chan is just an echo chamber of itself right now and everyone disagrees for the sake of disagreeing. and then you go on to claim that it's good that way.
>then it stops being about opinions
exactly. trying to talk about video games doesn't get shut down by opinions but by the meme of having a negative opinion. there's a difference between criticising a game and just say it's shit
It's the exact opposite of
>game is good because it's fun
the so called "honest" opinions you talk about are
>game is bad because it's shit
In safe space hugboxes you get the first variant while on 4chan you get the latter variant essentially making it a safe space from positive opinions about things
>>
>>379155974

>You've got a serious case of retardation if you pay these kinds of posts any mind. Why the fuck does 99% of people here not know how to just ignore/hide/report rather than give faggots the attention they crave?

>>
>>379155938
Occam's Razor.

The most simple answer is that /v/ has become a bunch of jaded faggots who take no joy in videogames so they start shitting the place up with offtopic/bait bullshit. It is much more probable than a secretly coordinated raid by another board that has gone on for years.

You can blame whoever else you want, but ultimately the problem boils down to /v/s culture of hatred towards its own hobby, and people like >>379155801 who think that shitposting, console wars, and generally making videogames into a miserable hobby is all just a part of "board culture."

>>379156048

>>379156273

It's not about hating the hobby It's about rejecting mediocrity. Video games are fucking stagnating and publishers are not willing to innovate for fear of losing money. Take a look at FUSE (previously known as Overstrike). The trailer shown in 2011 depicted a FPS that didn't take itself seriously, was humorous, and colorful. One year later and after "focus group testing" with TWELVE YEAR OLDS (the target audience of the publisher because apparently they're the largest demographic), we get FUSE which is ultra-fucking-serious gritty grim as fuck just like every other goddamn console FPS. Why? Because it sells. That's why there's anger when someone says they paid 60 bucks for the same old tired mediocre shit. When you buy a game at full price like that, you're sending a message to the publishers/developers. A message that says "This is worth 60 dollars. This soulless half-assed game is worth 60 dollars." Enough people buy into it and we get the same old shit, every year.
>>
>>379156337
valve drone?

>>379156368

So, what you're saying is, regardless of whether or not you are banned, and, most phone users are banned or not, you will continue to act the same and violate the rules regardless of a ban. Right?

Because being banned on your phone is dodged by simply turning off data ("airplane mode") and then back on again, and your mobile network now has a new IP. And your ban no longer affects you.

So we have established that you, and anyone else with a phone, will simply ignore a ban and violating the rules doesn't stop you from posting or further breaking the rules.

>>379156454
I mean using your mobile network. Not your wifi network. Because your mobile network IP can be changed whenever you like.

Barely anyone sages anymore now that it's hidden and getting "shitposted to death" amounts to someone calling you a faggot for having shit taste. Anyone who thinks that's even remotely comparable to getting downvoted or having your posts hidden/banned has a genuine fucking mental disease.

Nigga, /v/ was always hyper critical for fucking years before your dumb ass started posting here. 4chan and this board's traffic fucking exploded over the years so for you whine about how /v/ hates its own hobby because you got called a shill from someone giving you the benefit of the doubt your taste isn't that shit just shows what a fucking cocksleve you are.

If your discussion about video games is shut down purely by negative opinions then you're inept.

Both are equally worthless opinions. Also nice strawman.

That's 95% of negative posts about any given game. Your comic is a lazy strawman.

Sure, there are occasions where there are legit/well-thought out critical discussions of a game posted here, but to imply it's anything but a rarity is being intellectually dishonest.

because having people constantly spam the same repeated arguments about a game is great posting. Or when I'm talking about any RPG and their response is "know how this would be better? If it was the Witcher 3." or 30 other posts about how great Witcher 3 is in any RPG thread. Who fucking cares? I have plenty complaints/negatives about games I enjoyed, and I would voice them. Flaming like a retard is not quality posting.

No idea how anything I said proved that garbage comic correct. Rarely, like I said, does anyone voice their criticisms properly. But again, continue to lie to yourself because you'd rather blame /pol/ than properly consider that the board is shit because the majority of posters are shit, of their own volition.

Correct, it does. But generally when people shitpost with the exact same criticisms of the game AFTER it came out, with the exact same posts they used before it came out, while the game itself proved what they said to be false, it's far more annoying. Trying to post about any upcoming game you have even the slightest interest in has /v/ crying to the sky how you must be a marketer/paid shill. God forbid people talk about upcoming games.

To save 4chan, we first have to kill it. We have to drive out the dumblr admins and redditard mods. We have to make our userbase smaller, and that means making the site go down till all the ADHD 13-18 year olds forget that we exist. You know that this is the only way.

He says while spamming the same repeated argument about how /v/ literally hates video games because you couldn't tolerate whatever your shitty RPG is (10bux says it's made by Bioware) being compared to Witcher 3. You prove the comic is properly correct by perpetuating the same tired garbage myth about /v/ that every other fanboy spews, because you literally cannot tolerate dissenting opinion about a shitty RPG you like. I don't blame /pol/, the board is shit because YOU are shit, and the majority of posters are as shitty as you nowadays.

Once again, nice strawman. I was referring to XCX and more recently Prey, both good games which also have some pretty big flaws. I've not played any of the last two Mass Effect games, as I'm not interested on them. I played the Witcher 3, thought it was fun but haven't finished it as doing all the points of interest and side-quests have been a good deal repetitive. I'll probably finish it eventually, but not soon.

So, good criticisms of both those early games exist, but people don't voice them. Instead they did what I previously mentioned. A lot of the XCX shitposting was likely flame war console bullshit, especially like when Final Fantasy XV came out. Both sides were guilty of retarded shit, probably because they didn't play both games. Console exclusives garner tons of shitposting.

But again, keep up your trash arguments acting like I can't handle criticisms when in reality I'd just prefer legitimate critique over how garbage most posts on /v/ are.

I can't count the amount of times anons have gone out of their way to post screencaps proving they owned a game they say is bad, after being told dozens of times YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED IT because some dipshit couldn't tolerate criticism and needed to deflect. I have a vested interested in seeing bad games do poorly, regardless of what platform they're on as I'm not a console warring faggot. "Why bother posting in a discussion about a game you haven't played?" ask people who want to make hype threads for games they haven't played without any negative opinion or criticism. And /v/'s "childish mindset" is due in part to childish fanboys who literally treat criticism against bad games as a personal attack and feel the need to defend bad games as if they identify with them.

Mobile posting truly is the cancer of the site. Not only is mobileposting limiting the amount you can read, it more severely limits the amount you can write. Not to mention mobile data limits and the inherent difficulty and slowness of uploading images - let alone specific images to the site. There was a a thread on /g/ IIRC about this phenomenon, about a month or so ago. You can try and guess which device this post was written on (a major clue should be the sheer amount and complexity of sentences by today's standards).

No, they do voice them. You just refuse to accept them because it's easier to strawman them as "hating video games" and "never having played it". I'm not going to sit here and defend console war shitposting but you're just lying to yourself if you think obvious bait posts and the cries of poorfags are indicative of an entire board's hatred of the hobby.

Your entire argument is trash and you don't want legitimate critique, any criticism of games you like are garbage in your eyes no matter how valid.

You honestly can't. Many people from Reddit come here to shit post. I believe in a recent Reddit thread, it came to light most users there purposefully come to 4chan to shit post on /b/ and /v/. /V/ gets the worst of it because /v/ has anons who want to not shit post and Reddit has taken it upon themselves to shit post at every opportunity.

If you really enjoy the game just play it and discuss it with other people that hype it on /vg/

/v/ isn't here to reinforce your ego, you hyping up a new game won't suddenly make /v/ less critical

The problem isn't that /v/ can't have fun with anything, it's that you are using /v/ to settle your own conscience.

>people are callig you shill because benefit of the doubt that you don't have shit taste
You're false flagging at this point, right? No one can be that deep into the "hate everything" meme.
>>
>>379161456
Seems like you're purposefully being obtuse and pedantic for the sake of deflecting from your own argument.
>and fixating on aspects you can attack to weaken the argument.
Do you have any self awareness or do you not understand irony?
The majority of posts in general on this board are badly written, not a single observation you've made has been objective on any level. You're beyond delusional.

And the positive posts aren't?
Did it ever occur to you that the people being called "shill" are making badly written posts?
>>
>>379161565
The "hate everything" meme is literally just that, a meme perpetuated by people who think getting called a shill for hyping up shit games means /v/ hates everything.

>critical
But that's what everyone is complaining about, dipshit.
Buzzwords aren't criticism.
>to settle your own conscience
What's this armchair psychology now?
No I want to talk about a new game. Talk and discuss. Not read 20 canned answers from newfags who want to fit in. Everyone's ok when someone brings up criticism.
But all your kind does is

It's a first person shooter and is nowhere even comparable to something like the Witcher 3. If your falling back on saying "it has RPG systems" then you might as well complain about how DOOM was unfairly compared to the Witcher.

>Once again, you act like I ignore valid criticism
>But, once again, the majority of negative posts about them don't mention the actual flaws, they're just shitposts

You ignore actual criticism for the sake of continuing your terrible, baseless argument because you have some desire to discredit /v/, much like you're implying I'm doing for random games I dislike. People have legitimate criticisms of those games but you pretend they don't exist (sorry, the "majority" of them don't) You've made up nonsensical and shitty comparisons because you can't handle criticisms of those games, acting like anyone who calls them out must be wrong because your ego can't handle it.

Once again the majority of positive posts about them don't mention the actual merits, they're just shitposts. So please, stop acting as though you're correct, when you're not.

>>379161912
No, shit games. But thanks for proving my point. You perpetuate the meme because if games you like get shat on that must mean all of them are unfairly treated.

I didn't use any of those terms in my post. But nice strawman. Also "cancer" is a fucking buzzword.

I hope you see the irony.

>Halo/CoD/Doom are anything like Prey/Bioshock/System Shock
Is Deus Ex a first person shooter? How about Mass Effect? Both have guns, is the presence of guns the only factor in defining the genre? Most people consider Fallout to be an RPG. Is it not, because there is guns in it? Stop pretending to be retarded you literal mongrel. You can even play through Prey as a stealth hacker who never fights anything.
>>
>>379161869
No, you want to talk about a new game without ANY dissenting opinions against it. That post is entirely right, you can't handle when people bring up criticism and saying /v/ hates video games or /v/ hates it because its popular is just as canned if not even moreso than any of the responses you listed.
>>
I’d say that someone who just paid $60 for a middling game is often willing to talk about how much they like it rather than admit that they should have waited for some reviews before buying it. That’s just knowledge gained from decades of staring at message boards and seeing the cycle play out again and again and again. For as much as you get people out there talking about how "/v/ is jaded” "/v/ hates video games" or whatever, on the other side I’m seeing fanboy weirdos who pre-ordered a game six months ago and devoted hours of time on /v/ getting “hyped.” The last thing anyone on this board ever wants to do is say that they were wrong. So instead they lash out in our direction or claim that we’re "haters" or suffer from "arrested development" whatever that means. That’s fine, everyone likes to shoot the messenger and all that. Maybe those sorts of people could go find some marketing drone YouTube channels who won’t rain on their little hype parade or something. Augment your pre-order today!

>>379162323
>Prey/Bioshock/System Shock
One of these things is not like the other.
By your logic DOOM is just as comparable to Witcher because it has "RPG systems". Being able to "stealth" through a game does not an RPG make, Deus Ex, Fallout and Mass Effect have far more roleplaying than prey so stop trying to salvage your failed hamhanded comparison you retarded waste of oxygen.

>My taste isn't shit /v/ is!
Also look up what irony means.

As opposed to 20 canned answers from newfags who want to stand out and farm for easy (You)s. Everyone's ok with discussing new games.
But all your kind does is
>You haven't even played it!
>You haven't given it a chance if you only played ifor 15 hours!
>You poured dozens of hours into finishing the game so it was obviously good!

>You can't say it's bad if you pirated it!
>There's no demo so watch gameplay videos and read a review but don't pirate it!
>Lol you never even played it you just watched it on youtube!

>Lol you just hate it because /v/ told you to! /v/ hates everything!
>lol you just hate it because it's popular!
>lol you're a edgy retard who hates it because muh hate bandwagon hivemind!
>lol you're just a [neckbeard] [fedroa] [autist] [hipster] [edgelord] [hivemind] [buzzword]
>You're just too jaded to enjoy video games anymore!
>You're just too old to enjoy video games anymore!

>If you don't like it, shut up and don't buy it! Vote with your wallet!
>You're entitled and literally killing video games by not paying for this game!

>It's fun with friends! Get a life loooser!
>[worst game in the series] is still good on its own merits!

>if you pay money for it
>why did you buy it if you knew it was bad???
>if you don't pay money for it
>your opinion doesn't matter, you didn't pay for it

>How can you complain if you haven't played it?
>I have played it.
>You can't complain unless you've finished it.
>I did finish it
>Finishing it once isn't enough, you need to do the extra content
>I did all that
>Then you secretly love the game. You wouldn't spend all that time unless you enjoyed it.

Why would I continue to argue with a person like that? He's dead set on framing the argument in that way, there's little to be gained from arguing in a circle. Or, another possibility, you're just samefagging to imply consensus/support.
>>
>>379162327
You're implying buzzwords are opinioms and simply assuming I dismiss valid criticism. I don't but that doesn't fit your narrative. I'm still entirely focusing on moronic one liners but you just think those away

Actually you're implying negative opinions are just buzzwords while dismissing valid criticism. Your narrative is that valid criticism is rare, even though both sides are guilty of moronic one liners.
