How do we fix /v/?

By deleting these shitty meta threads that do nothing

fuck off

Report and ignore low-quality and off-topic posts.

>>386839456
We dont.
I like it this way.

>>386839456
rules are fine except banning e-celebs. the real problem is our horribly incompetent mods

>.gif
I'm suspicious.

stop having these threads since all it does is outline exactly what needs to be done to make this board worse

all that needs to be done is sage (learning how to) and report off topic threads - if it's not about a VIDEO GAME it's offtopic and should be reported
let's all work together to keep each other honest yea?

>>386839456
Mods need to stop deleting lol threads. They are by far the highest quality content on this board

>>386839456
allow women hate general
allow console war in a dedicated thread

>>386839456
E-celeb/streamers threads got to go. They are cancer.

Delete threads that don't actually discuss the game shown in the OP.

Look in the goddamn mirror.

Look at all the shit posting threads.

>>386839456
Honestly?

Ban racism, homphobia, transphobia, islamophobia, misogyny.

I'm sick of coming here and seeing threads full of bigots being bigots, there's a reason /r/gaming is larger than /v/ and it's because they ban hate speech.

Just stronger moderation. Basicallys, mods that tell anyone that complains of "muh board culture" to fuck off.

>>386839761
Then go back.

With all the post-/v/int complaining about Americans? Give them their own board, then let /pol/ go nuts, away from our board.

Just enforce what already exists somehow.

A few weeks ago I made a '25+' thread asking what 'older' people here were playing. The thread hit bump limit as just pure games discussion with literally zero shitposting

>>386839456
Re-enable dubs

Stop having meta threads.

stop deleting threads about video game youtubes/streamers/pros

>>386840115
at this point when you respond to a bait you are also responding to the hypothetical newfag that might actually harbor this opinion
maybe what led us here is ignoring bait and taking it granted that the newfags that come will also consider it bait and not a valid opinion that they should foster
maybe the curse of anonymous imageboards is that the new blood never gets mentored and that results in inadequate successors

or maybe I'm just high shitposting

Ban /pol/ crossposting
Ban e-celeb shit
Ban e-sports

>>386840286
Nah, that's gay. Quit being 12.

>>386839456
get dubs back, remove filters, allow polbait and eceleb.

Stop feeding the trolls

I'm dead fucking serious. That's it. See a shitty post that upsets you? See some idiot mouthing off and you're tempted to call him out? Don't, because it's just someone looking for attention, and giving it to them will only validate what they're doing and encourage them to do it more. Report them if it's violating the rules, but DO NOT RESPOND. No, not even to sage. NO, not even to post your shitty fish picture calling them out, because that's as good of a response as any to them. If you see someone responding to them, just assume they're either the same guy replying to himself to make others think it's okay to reply, or a fucking idiot who deserves to be laughed at, but don't reply to them either.
It's so simple, but I guess someone being wrong on the internet just can't ever be ignored

I'll make another thread talking about the board, getting your's deleted and making me the victor.

that's how

Merge with /pol/, removing sjw mods that ban me for make threads about nigs in vidya

>>386840430
Mods actively love eceleb shit and ban people reporting it. Why are mods such faggots?

Have /v/ as a containment board for /v/ that masquerades as /pol/ then have a board for actually talking about games

I like /v/ as it is and want no major changes.

>>386840430

This, I was with gamergate when it started, but it quickly devolved into "any and every woman in a videogame is part of an sjw conspiracy to demonize white men".

So in order to counter batshit feminists, we got infested with batshit altright teenagers with a persecution complex looking to make /v/ /pol/-lite. Fucking great.

Unironically this. The best thing you can do by this point is reply to any and every instance of shitty bait by informing other posters of it's trollish nature, while slipping in a smug (you). Not only will you inform newfags on what posts to disregard, but will deprive the shitposter of his goals by calling out his bullshit.

ENFORCE BOARD RULES
ALL NON VIDYA THREADS AND POSTS SHOULD BE DELETED

This includes E-Celeb drama, youtube and politics related posts/threads
For some time even /v/ culture threads (like deep sea threads, as much as it hurts) should be deleted, so that no one can say
>b-but those ones aren't getting deleted
Only start being more relaxed and allow them once the situation gets more stable

On top of that public bans for trolling, flaming and console war fags

BAN

-If a thread/post gets deleted and its poster banned and it gets posted again multiply ban length, even if it's not the same user
-Users revealing their age/ethnicity/political preferences and users replying to them, or people suggesting a certain poster is of a certain age/ethnicity or has a certain political preference are to be banned
-People shitting on anime/mangas should be banned
I don't give a fuck if you don't like them, I don't either, but it's an anime image-board, deal with it

BAN PEOPLE THAT DON'T RESPECT THE RULES

Posters should also not reply to obvious bait, but that's fucking impossible to remove until people stop being idiots, so never.

>>386841371
They got the Japanese learner's thread moved from /a/ to /jp/. That's about it.
Coincidentally that's why there's also daily threads about learning Japanese on /v/ now too, it caused a huge wave of butthurt and denial.

I don't even know. They spammed /a/ for weeks about it too. People literally gave up on learning Japanese because the threads weren't on /a/ anymore.

Anon it's an ANIME image board, like it or not that's what it is
You don't like that people watch and reference anime? Go somewhere else, it's that simple, there's shitloads of sites that host discussions about the same topics as 4chan without the jap stuff.
But 4chan is 4chan, don't like it? Fuck off, nobody is forcing you to be here.

Not by crying for the mods to fix your problems that's for sure. You are like impotent babies.
Go back to your forum where the mods decide what is unnaceptable discussion and your reddit bubble where new ideas never strick you in the face.
sage

>>386841639
Some posters go ballistic over seeing a single reaction image. Sometimes this leads to shitposting about how 4chan isn't anime related anymore get with the times gramps :^) and how all anime is shit. We could do without that kind of derails.

>>386842102
Its okay if people like anime but do they need to post lewd pictures of lolis on /v/? Is posting lewd pictures on every board part of anime culture?

Depends on the board.
On /v/, given that it's a blueboard, lewds should not be allowed, of anything.
Waifu/Husbando threads are a stretch, but since we're on an image-board, threads about images are pretty much the base of the website and as long as they're vidya they're kind of ok.

I was talking more about people dismissing claims on the basis of an anime reaction picture or derailing threads talking about how 4chan is anime or non-anime.

>>386842531
Fuck you, you don't even know where you are. It's an image board for anime fans to talk about a variety of topics. That's what it was and what it IS.
Stop trying to change the site to suit to your tastes, if you don't like it there's a shitload of other websites that talk about the same topics without the focus on anime/manga/jap culture.
/v/ specifically is made for anime fans to talk about vidya.
