Previous meta thread was deleted. Different OP posing a question: what can we do about the blatant shilling on this board? You can say that some people just "like a product," but we've been getting a metric fuck load of posts that read exactly like top-rated, 5 star user reviews on any given large scale retail website--not exactly a common trend here. Moreover, these posters continue to participate and play damage control. It's making this board really, REALLY shitty to actually talk about video games.

Do some investigating, my friend. Look how every thread about the NES/SNES mini gets spammed with glowing praise for raspberry pis and literally tells people to go out and buy one right that second. There are also a ton of posts about games that read exactly like a paid app review, one or two lines of complete glowing praise with no conversation to come hence despite replies. There's even some pasta going around.

Some faggot youtuber with no subscribers or viewerbase keeps spamming his shitty ARMS videos. He's done it at least 30 times with various different videos in the past week and no amount of reports does anything to stem their flow. I think in an earlier "talk about the board" thread today some other faggot was crying about not being able to advertise his videos because he only makes $150/month on patreon and wants to gain an audience. There was even a fuckhead defending him.

Another issue is the shitheels who browse reddit taking an image they got from reddit, not even bothering to rename the file, and posting a new thread with some short asinine question or a straight up copy+paste of the text from reddit. I swear they do this shit just to take the piss, and when you call them out on it they either go "people are allowed to browse multiple websites" or "I guess /v/ and reddit are the same :)" as if they're not causing any issue with the board quality.

This shit is routine too, why the hell isn't any lasting consequence done about it? Quentin doesn't shit up the board like he used to but he's since been replaced by that faggot (you know the one, I won't bother naming him) who makes the same low-effort bait threads hoping people will respond. Why the hell isn't any significant action done to curb the ban-evading phoneposters who derive pleasure from bastardizing the board?

Complaining about shills is aisine
You can never know when it's a shill, when it#s a shitposter falseflagging as a shill to make you dislike the thing, and when it's just a genuine guy talking about video games
You'll look for arbitrary signs that "confirm" the shilling, without ever actually getting negative feedback, so you can't impove your perception whatsoever
And then you go into my thread about a small game I like and spew bullshit abot shills, further shitting up this trashheap of a board

>>382523253
Wrong.
Calling someone out on being a shill is 100% positive whether they are a shill or not.
There are people that fucking refuse to think critically about games they lie and just want to circle jerk, which isn't what /v/ is for.

If you understood the board better you'd be able to post about your game without coming off as a shill.
For example:
>make a thread about a concept found in your game
>have a picture from it

"no"
You'll be looking for fucking anything that confirms your suspicions. I've made completely neutral threads about games, but since anon didn't know the game because he's a mainstream shiteater it must be shillan.
Look at that other retard that responded to me. I've been writing like this on 4chan since I came here in 2010, but fucking suddenly it's how shills post because that's the one thing he gets to pick out for some utterly useless positive affirmation

>>
>>382523758
There's been a copypasta across several BotW threads with glowing praise about how it ruins every other game for them that even uses the exact same image attachment. You're reaching pretty bad to claim it doesn't happen at all by just providing anecdotes to prove that you yourself don't do it. You should realize that proving you're not part of it doesn't prove it doesn't happen at all, and trying to act like those two are so closely intertwined just makes you seem like you are a part of it.

You are not going to deter actual shills. They are getting paid to do their job, and their job is not arguing about video games, it's spreading awareness about it by plastering the picture orwhatever as far as possible. They will not engage you in a discussion about ethics. They do not notice you, because they're using a fucking script to post their shit and all they do is insert captchas.
Most of the time when you'll be throwing out shill accusations, you're really just accusing some random fucking guy who's talking about video games. You have no proof, you don't even have solid signs, you're going off some arbitrary things you just decided at that moment, and that might change the very next time.
You're deliberately going out of your way to make the board an even shittier place, with no advantage whatsoever for anyone included.
If you suspect a shill, then report that shit, because it's against the rules. The Janitor or mod will check out the other posts by that guy and know for sure if he's a real human bean or a semi-artificial marketing machine. Don't shit up innocent threads just because you're feeling aprticularly self-righteous at that moment, you dumb cunts

I stopped at "spreading awareness," because that's exactly what I'm doing here. People are replying to bait from paid advertisers to keep games relevant and since it looks like the site itself can't do anything about it, users need to increase their awareness and recognize when it's going on. That way they can save themselves the headache of trying to have a conversation with a human robot, adding to the amount of jerking that goes on in this board both ways and making it as shitty as everyone complains about.

I'm not really trying to witch hunt anybody specifically, I'm just describing what I've seen and holding out some modicum of hope that other people can recognize it and conduct themselves to keep it from becoming more of a problem, too. Surely other people have seen the BotW pasta I've described with the Tumblr-esque dog picture attachment where they describe in detail how it ruined literally every other open world game for them. I don't care if you like the game or not, but that shit is suspicious. You could say it's bait, but it doesn't actually do a whole lot of rabble rousing where it gets posted and it continues to get posted regardless, so it's just weird.

Doesn't work. Sometime ago (2012 I think), everyone was screaming viral marketing so mods actually banned "viral." People just switched to bacteria marketing and increased the use of "shill." If you can shill, people will just use a different word.

But there isn't
Someone who is convinced of shilling will take any excuse to proclaim shill
It does not have to be logical
It does not have to be rational
It is just shillcalling

It's a lot of "I tried playing [other AAA open world game], but I wanted to [something I could do in BotW] and couldn't, so it was ruined for me." It's multiple paragraphs of that. Horizon Zero Dawn is obviously the first thing that comes to mind that they mention, but there are a few others. Witcher 3 I think is even one of them.

You are WAY too attached to whatever product you're defending.

Besides "I liek gaem" is a fucking shit OP.

To be honest, so long as 4chan is a place where anyone can come and post any opinions, then you've gotta also allow paid opinions

For one copypaste and one captcha, you advertise your product to a thousand people, bypassing adblock.
Granted, your product has to be not shit.
Also, if your product is jewed as fuck with pay2skipgrind microtransactions paid cosmetics paid online season pass DLC mappacks, then people will avoid buying it.
Except if they're nintendo fans.
Nintendo fans love their physical DLC mcdonalds toys.

You're speaking from a bias that anyone who could claim "shill" is only doing so from a predisposition of already wanting to flag someone, and that just isn't the case here.

Janitors can already see IP addresses, so they can just ban people for derailing threads too much. If ID's were implemented people would dig up older posts in a thread that would break the flow of a thread downwards and if you make a stupid reply and want to make a better one you'd have to delete it and make a new one otherwise people will call you samefag and it will lead to confusion

People with nothing to contribute shitpost by saying shill over and over.
Saying shill contributes nothing, because people use it whenever someone likes a game. Its harmful for discussion. ITs just shit of a post.

there's definitely a ton of false flagging, and sometimes the people crying shill are worse than the adverts themselves, but shilling is a real thing and you're ridiculously naive to think otherwise
in an era where traditional ads are less effective and more expensive than ever it's a given that companies will take advantage of high traffic online communities to try to artificially hype their games at little to no cost, and without any risk of getting found out
>>
>>382525553
You're really just unwilling to accept that shillcalling is not some healthy filtering for the board.
It is an utterly useless practice that is often directed at legitimate people and does nothing to deter the acual shills, because they do not care whatsoever about calling them out
Anon, I have made completely neutral threads about games. I have listed pros and cons. I have asked about opinions. I have been called shill for holding various opinions about equally various games.
Your vision of a rational /v/irgin that only calls out shills when it's clear as the sky is a complete and utter fantasy.

Big companies shill on /v/ because 4chan in their opinion is some source of popular memes.

>>382521680
LISTEN TO ME OP. WHAT YOU MUST DO IS BROWSE CATALOG BY CREATION DATE, ALWAYS. DON'T EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THREADS, JUST MONITOR THE CATALOG. WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE, IT BECOMES SECOND NATURE IDENTIFYING SHILL THREADS. YOU WILL SEE THEM POP UP AS THEY OCCUR. YOU WILL BE BETTER ABLE TO RECOGNIZE PATTERNS. LIKE THE LAST FEW HOURS, ALMOST NO BLIZ THREADS, THEN AROUND 15 MINUTES AGO SEVERAL OF THEM ALL AT ONCE.

Now obviously not all patterns indicate shilling, but in my expert opinion (I have been doing this regularly for months), that is the case, in this case.

Also, there is a time to ignore shill threads, and there is a time to expose them. Remember that.

Hurf durf muh shills
If you actually believe that devs, especially small teams or single person devs, pay people to shill games on /v/, you're retarded.
Actual shilling for a game that isn't good would fail because people would pick up the game and find out it's garbage
The threads that take off in which people scream "shill" have way too much discussion and too many IPs to be shilling, so a logical person would conclude that people are talking about a game they like
This is the fucking board we browse now, where the meme of hating video games and being offtopic all the time has made it so that people are suspicious of anyone talking about a game that isn't some massive AAA title

Most of the xiv threads are shill threads, which is why they always put the game name in there.
>>
>>382521680
/v/ is extremely bad at detecting shillposters. This is incredible, and a recent trend: my work was harder 4/5 years ago. Now it's piss easy.

Most people who genuinely like a game will say it in a way that /v/ incorrectly identify as shillposting. They will say that they liked that or that, often:
1: In an abrasive, /v/ mentality.
2: In an unsure manner.

Both are often accused of shillposting.

True shills, those who post 5 stars user review, are almost never accused of being a what they are. They are always taken seriously. It's a common trend nowadays.

It's funny, in a way. Keep that up /v/.

Former Warner Bros. marketer here. Ask me anything. For starters, YES, it is 100% true that this entire website is crawling with viral marketers. /tv/ and /co/ are the main areas of focus for WB (I have no idea what the extent to which other movie studios viral on 4chan, but WB straight up carpet bombs the aforementioned two boards. All those Wonder Woman threads on /co/? Yeah, that's us. Or WAS us, in my case, since I no longer work there. We started all the Flash TV show threads there and everything. If you see ANY positive comments about a DC Comics movie on /co/ it's a viral. The public HATES the DC movies and WB knows it. Rather than fire the hacks making them they'd rather just viral on the internet and pay off reviewers to say "YOU SEE THAT MOVIE THAT YOU HATE? WELL YOU ACTUALLY LIKE IT!", as if that was going to change anyone's mind. It's basically the WWE school of marketing, i.e. TELL people what they like (which conveniently happens to be whatever you crapped out) instead of GIVE people what they ACTUALLY like.

Like I said, I can answer a few questions, but make it quick. I got shit to do.

The mods don't give a fuck about shilling. This board had literally 20+ Overwatch threads in the catalogue for at least a month around its release. If they'd given a fuck then they'd have pruned the shit out of them and moved everyone on to /vg/ where those threads belong.

Just accept the mods are either in certain developer's pockets or just don't give a fuck and turn a blind eye to blatant marketing.

When Marvel Comics releases their "Legacy" event later this year ALL the comics blogs are going to gush over how it's a masterpiece of the highest possible order. This is because they've already been paid off with under-the-table cash exchanges. Even if you don't read comics, remember that I said this and pay attention when it happens. That'll be your "proof".

Also, you're a naïve faggot if you think the entire internet isn't crawling with virals. There are entire corporations dedicated to viral marketing.

>>382527084
I don't even know what that shit is. I know literally nothing about table top games. I wouldn't rule it out, but it seems to be mostly bigger companies that viral on this site. Is table top games even big enough of a business to merit viral marketing to begin with?

>>382527085
Marvel (as in the comics company, not the movie studio) pays off blogs top give positive reviews of their comics.

>>382527135
I personally think they're wasting their time. They seem to do it because the alternative would be to fix the product and that'd mean hiring people with talent, i.e. not them. There's an old quote that goes something like "marketing is what you do when your product sucks" or something to that effect. But again, I'm not an expert on the results, so who knows.

They literally only exist when there is the occasional update or event. A general would not exist for more than a few days. This is the kind of thinking that makes /v/ shit. What the fuck is allowed to be discussed here if a video game getting 2 threads in a row is considered a general now?

Can we only post 1 thread per month about a certain game? And only about certain games? Guess I'll see you guys in next month's DOOM thread. Wouldn't want to be seen as a general, right?

Reddit, Tumblr, summer, whatever, it's all infested, there's far more ironic posts and bait than anything else, so wanting to actively participate is a fruitless endeavor. Maybe I can get on NeoGAF and see if I'm still banned for actually defending this fucking place during GamerGate.

>>382521680
you're still free to say whatever the fuck you want famalam. IMO bigger problem are ppl shouting "shill" at literally everything like in the story about boy who cried wolf. gaming culture has grown a lot in last decade, twitch and youtube are especially to blame for this, casuals are everywhere and there's more e-celebs than porn stars.

>>382527923
alright, but shit like the 100% OJ threads and Risk of Rain threads are entirely self contained, but not frequent or fast enough to be a general. and they're usually also 99% about ACTUAL VIDEO GAME DISCUSSION ie playing video games.

none of the fucking arguments for moving threads to /vg/ make any sense because it's always "my threads are allowed to be on /v/ but yours aren't because I don't like them". I will agree gacha and MMOs should mostly stick to /vg/ because those threads never have an endpoint because they have "infinite" content and things to talk about. but that would require a massive scale reform to /vg/ to remove all of the absolute garbage that's currently plaguing the board, which will never happen.

so in short, these meta threads are worthless and do nothing for no one. literally only exist as flame bait and shitflinging fodder like every other thread here. If anyone comes to 4chan expecting decent serious discussions on anything they're here for the wrong reasons now. that just doesn't happen anymore

Shilling isn't a problem in the making of threads. Fuck, if someone wants to create a platform for talking about an actual video game and happens to get paid for it, that's fine. But discussion itself is getting jerked around by people with a clear bias who establish a census on one extreme or the other and it just becomes video game nerd gang wars.

lol no

If you want to see /v/ being /pol/'s bitch go to fucking cripplechan. There you can see how every thread has nothing to do with video games but everything to do with developer's personal political stance, what the politics in the game are and how they're all cucked liberal bullshit and other raving bollocks. There's not a single thread about video games on that whole website that hasn't broken down into a rant about politics or how the kikes are using a game to turn people into marxists.

shill boogeyman is only obvious when they spam generals in a short amount of time, creating even meta threads for topics that could've been in the already 300+ reply thread.

overwatch was obviously shilling. if this is a thread to speak directly to mods and janitors about ways to improve this board, please do a better job of deleting clone threads. if there's already an overwatch thread up, delete any mini threads related to character worship, or meta discussions about balancing and whatnot. keep all that shit contained to one, instead of 4-5 scattered across the board.

I usually don't mind when I see 2(even 3) up at a time, but then idiots see that as a sign to create more and we're soon drowning in 5-7 of them.

Eh, not really true, in my experience.

If the game you want to discuss is published by EA, for example, you have no chance whatsoever. The only way you can get by without it becoming a war of shill-calling is if your OP is the most blatantly negative shit imaginable just to gather up discussion.

Whatever you say Bamco shill. That is what this thread is about right? Calling out the things we personally dislike as shills and falseflaggers, but the things we do like are acceptable? Well I don't like Souls games so you're a shill for discussing them. Your next response will be, "get gud". A very successful shill tactic trying to put me below you by implying you're better than me at Souls games so my opinion on them is invalid. Nice try, shill.
>>
>>382521924
It's full of shill threads but to be fair /v/ has gone to the shit so they are not really that different from regular threads

I mean, people here mainly play WoW, cod and mobas, every thread about a not AAA game gets immediately marked as SHILL INDIE SHIT

At this point there are better places than /v/ to talk about videogames and yes, i'm talking about some subreddit.
>>
>>382529816
>>382529869
>>382530029
Sorry that was rude. /v/ has liked Souls games since Demon's Souls first came out before it even got an English translation. When Namco wasn't even sure the project would succeed and before all the "Prepare to Die XD" marketing. So I think you're assessment is wrong.

You're delusional if you think even 10% of /v/ has played Demon's Souls, or any Souls game before the DaS PC port. Hell I'd wager not even 15% of the current "Souls fanbase" has played Demon's Souls

So no, the marketing and shilling here DID directly influence /v/'s disposition towards the games. Another win for Bamco, another loss for the quality of our beloved website

>>382530234
You get an ID like a tripcode and everybody can see what you posted by searching posts with your unique ID. It's a stupid fucking idea they a few other boards tried. It was a disaster each time and they had to reverse the change.

Imagine being in some long thread and you're just discussing something, then you make someone mad my they'll ctrl F your posts from 2 hours ago just to shitpost reply to them and start an argument. Basically Facebook. It takes away true anonymity and makes it so people can see what you've posted, and identity who you are.

Make 4chan pass mandatory for posting. Make bans apply to only the pass user so they cannot be evaded. Make strikes for heinous offenses, 3 strikes and your pass gets revoked.

>>382530339
There's a portion of /v/ posters that liked Demon's Souls. Let's call them group A.
There's another portion that jumped on the bandwagon around the time of the prepare to die marketing, or possibly even later. Let's call them group B.

Repeatedly stating that group A has always existed (which is true) does not make group B any less insufferable. I'm not sure how to put this in simpler terms, sorry.

They lower the quality of the board because nothing has been discussed in 8 years that's hasn't been discussed to death already.

Find me a single Souls thread that hasn't devolved into inane flamebaiting and shitposting.

If anything that's only hindering regular users since people that get paid to shill will just get a VPN or a proxy and continue posting.

I also bet that's what happens on /pol/, on both sides.

YOU CAN'T BUMP YOUR OWN THREAD BY SAMEFAGGING YOU RETARD

>>382530234
Tripcode-like automatic identifiers that last for exactly one thread. A way to identify your posts in that one thread without spilling over to any other thread you might post in.
In theory it's a great way to weed out samefagging and sockpuppeting. In practice it just leads to new ways to shitpost - see >>382530406
>>
>>382530596
samefagging doesn't bump. Also, even if it did, what's the fucking difference between a marketer samefagging something like "Why haven't you bought mass effect Andromeda yet, /v/?" and a normal poster who made a positive MEA thread doing it? Nothing identifiable whatsoever.
>>
>>382530661
WHAT
do you think they have one marketer here?
you can even use different browsers
>>
>>382530597
If I did, you'd just go in there and shit post to try to prove your point and be right.
>>
>>382530597
There was a really nice one a couple of days ago where a guy was asking for help on the game. That was a great thread.

>>382530753
>a normal poster who made a positive MEA thread
I bet you believe in unicorns, too.

>>382530813
... Your fucking browser doesn't change your IP address are you fucking stupid? No wonder. It takes someone this ignorant to think something like post IDs are a good idea.
>>
>>382530874
This is the kind of ironic shit posting that would lead me to believe a thread praising a shitty game would be made by a normal /v/ user.
>>
>>382530512
Okay. I'm not sure how /v/ was "conditioned to like them" when at least a moderately sized group has always considered them good. I don't think people get tricked into liking something. Otherwise people wouldn't still be discussing the games today if they really didn't like them

>let's talk about the mathewmatosis video AGAIN
>NO discuss the bomberguy video instead
>guys let's discuss Priscilla's stinky feet for the 10000th time that'll be epic
>b-but my waifu is gwyndolin did you know she has a penis haha wacky Japan
>no guys today we're discussing the the same boss we've talked about ad nauseum
>wow you thought that boss was hard?? LOL get gud pussy

typical souls thread topics
>>
>>382530813
Using different browsers doesn't change your ID. How new are you? Have you ever even been on a board that had board IDs? Clearly not. You have no clue what kind of hell you're trying to wish on /v/

I wasn't trying to be ironic. Maybe I should just go lie down and stop posting for a while.
>>
>RE7 thread every day
>same fucking pic
>is it good?
>do you think it will work on my machine?
every single day
same thread
same stupid questions
the same stupid fag marketing the game
>but anon, samefagging does not bump
THE ANSWERS IS WHAT BUMPS THE THREAD
you won't answer his stupid questions if you see they are coming from the same id

>>>382530880
>browser doesn't change your IP address
who said that
>>
>>382530459
best idea so far
>>
>>382530994
Absolutely zero souls threads that did not already start with an ironic or blatant eceleb shitpost became any of those things
>>
>>382530459
As fucking horrible as this idea is, it's still better than post ID's
>>
>people who don't know the first thing about social programming think it isn't happening on one of the most popular discussion forums on the internet
>>
just remove all janitors
>>
>>382530520
yeah, exactly, they got paid off as well

remember that gamefaqs is not the site it was in the 90s, the original owner sold it off to a corporation
>>
>>382530459
This is a stupid idea, but I wouldn't be opposed to making Sundays a pass-only day for fun, while keeping shit holes like /b/ open so people can flock there if they want on those days

if we had thread IDs, we could see if this conversation about them is between 5-6 guys, or just the same stupid fag saying they are not good
>>
>>382530994
Plenty of threads are the same discussions ad nauseum. Like Fire Emblem for example. Or Halo. Or 3D Mario. Or GDQ. Or Undertale. Or Metroid before this year's E3
>>
>>382531260
What would discussion forum would that be? I haven't been keeping up with what's popular these days.
>>
>>382531404
We could also see if the same stupid fag is safe defending them, couldn't we? But we don't want that. If you want to be identified by your posts you can fuck off to reddit. I guarantee you that you'll find a warmer community there who thinks like you do. Please just leave. We'll both be happier this way.
>>
>>382531404
Woop de doo you MIGHT be able to single out a samefag, but the biggest shitposters on the website would still just change their IP address on the spot and have phones for many IPs

judging by your saltiness, i guess you are the guy triggered by IDs
are you an indian marketer by any means?
>>
>people on this very thread don't know about ID filtering
>>
>>382531626
Some guy has an opinion and you call him a marketer. Do you think you'd be any more mature if suddenly you could confirm someone posted their opinion on more than one post? No you'd just go through the thread and quote every single post with that ID so you can shitpost

>>382531381
It can't be that stupid if it would immediately solve every issue being whined about here. So long as mods weren't compromised and didn't play favorites or make biases it'd work great in terms of making this place actually decent to discuss anything.
>>
>>382531684
Teach us then.

>>382531754
>mature
the guy has already told me 2 times to go to lerdit, while getting triggered of IDs, and calling it hell
>>
>>382531783
It happened before and post count went to like nothing. Most of /v/ is third world trash that can t afford it. Not a big enough community to support passes being mandatory every day.

>>382531626
You're not making a good case for yourself given how you're shitpost when others are trying to have a discussion
