>>385928683
But /v/ has better discussion about non-game subjects.

Ban /pol/ posters. Now watch them get mad and call me reddit (the irony), a sjw, or tumblr user.

Autosage threads with "What are some games..." and variations of it.
>inb4 "what about genuine recommendation threads"

Fuck rec threads

>>385928963
Then fucking nuke /v/ and let all these master debaters run off to the appropriate boards. Then after a few months let a new video games board rise from the ashes.

ADD FLAGS

Start actually deleting off-topic threads

OP post has to pass the /r9k/ robot. Posts in threads don't. Add systems to detect robot avoiding strats as best as possible.

with an e-celeb board
mods that do their job and delete /pol/ crossposters

It's simple, delete /pol/.

-Ban all e-celeb threads and/or make e-cebel moat board.
Thats pretty much it, id like to say ban all offtopic, but ironically all the offtopic threads are best ones in here so fuck it don rosa thread now

nuke /pol/ posters

>>385930836
calling people niggers and faggots at will and not wanting sjw shit has been /v/
the neo shit has been nationalism getting forced into every other thread by some fag from pol and politics over talking about if the game is good or not

Make it so that if the user has neogaf, tumblr or reddit cookies the site is unaccessible.

>>385928307
This is honestly the only thing that needs to happen. Subtle (although they're usually pretty obvious) /pol/ bait threads, console war threads, BRAAAP threads, etc. making it to the bump limit while actual video game threads get deleted is killing this board. All it would take to vastly improve board quality is to enforce the rules that already exist, but for some reason we don't see that happening

Ban all who complain about /v/. Console wars make this place and should be rewarded. Make a console war general exclusively for making fun of people

>>385930946

There's nothing the mods or you can do. It's too late, /v/ is too big and the people who visit it are too shitty. Use the catalogue or learn how to hide threads you dislike.

>>385931056

No anon, you are the newfag. I've been to this wonderful shithole nearly every day since 2005. "Muh racism" is just a cover pathetic cowards use to express their actual real-world stupidity. Offensive niggerfaggot-based humor, as we often joked about happening, eventually did attract actual dumb assholes.
This comment is correct:
>>385931002

What is /pol/-posting?

>>385928241
make this an e-celeb board.

>>385931636
looking at 4chan usage statistics, its been determined that a huge influx of shitposting coincided with a higher number and ratio of mobile posters. its kind of a generalization, but i wouldnt doubt that it would produce results to ban them

>>385930836
the racism and hate speech used to be a joke. then a huge wave of newfags showed up and thought we were being serious, thus /pol/ was born

>>385928241
ban all mention of metacritic. No one takes it seriously because of how fucking retarded critics are but people use it to shitpost CONSTANTLY anyway.

>>385928241
create /v/ and /nuv/

/nuv/ for e-celeb, youtubers, indie games, early access games, ubisoft/ea/any game made by canadians

/v/ is for everything else vidya related

Bring back roody-poo and jabroni filters and the other filters from back then. Not that I'm against the use of the words, I just think the filters were comfy.

>>385932780
/v/ needs to be /nuv/, you can go to /vg/ if you want to actually discuss video games.

I thought /bant/ was going to get rid of the shitposting, but it is pointless.

>>385932397
>berate newfags and tell them to lurk more

Hi XIV bro

>>385932613
A natural result of the increase in unhappy, frustrated people in the population, the cause of which is up for debate, but I blame baby boomer parents and the ability of large anonymous social groups like 4chan to empower sad/angry people to act out irrationally as an outlet of revenge against the reality of their lives.

The feeling that societies and pragmatism are important to uphold is a concept that's dying at the moment, and /pol/ is, on average, highly representative of the phenomenon.

Too late now, userbase is flooded with redditors that can't assimilate. Back in the day newfags were outnumbered and had to assimilate over time, but the demographics are shit now.

It you wanted to make some progress though, some simple rules:

1. If a game already has a general on /vg/, no generals on /v/. (overwatch players pls kill yourselves)
2. No bait threads
3. No phone posting
4. No "this is x, say something nice about her!" threads

Should have some quasi-r9k rule where OP's have to be formatted and not just a copypasted *blocks your path* shit.

Destroy all wojaks and pepes. Have you ever seen a quality thread with one of those as the OP? As long as even a single image of either exists, this board Is doomed.

>Hate for hate itself, no reason.
No

The mindset may shape the rules, but, after having been put into place, the rules start shaping the mindset back. Why do people post shitposting threads? Because they get attention. Why do they get attention? Because it's known that they're verboten. I reckon that it's just a few posters who make these low-quality threads on a regular basis. If one were to remove the thrill of it all, the numbers of these threads would decline. Maybe removing the stiff rules that cause /v/'s mindset to stagnate would pave the way for a new mindset to form without interference of the established order.

>Threads on /v/ have to be approved by a Janitor

>>385934096
What makes the delusional autist think that people posting on phones couldn't be the same people that posts on their home PC when they are not sitting in front of it? The platform never makes the standard, the person does it. PC makes it easier and faster to shitpost if anything. When i post in my phone i actually have to think better something before typing since it takes more time to write a single post and my reaction images are more limited.

>>385934520

Quality over quantity faggot. Unless you like the "white bois belong in chastity threads".

>>385934096
Facts of smaller screens lead to willd assumptions about short posts and other stuff. Also image storage argument and organization is complete bullshit.

>>385934737
I can bear one of these threads at a time. 4chan can't bear losing that much traffic.

you think people actually do this? they do exactly what he said, which is type short, inane bullshit after not reading the thread because its more difficult to type correctly and quickly, and to read other comments. plus limited reaction images is a problem he mentioned, and it can be and is a problem.
