>>1231604 GAMERS WON

Will you be moving existing threads or waiting for bumplimit

>That being said, if any particular general wants to stay on /v/, I'm perfectly fine with that Wow, it's fucking nothing.

>>1231744 We will be moving older threads, but not ALL generals. Personally I'm fond of the GG and BA threads, although I acknowledge some of them like the XIV generals have gotten a bit out of hand. So to make everyone happy, I agreed to working with the current >>>/vg/ BO to satisfy the desires of the community. Basically just make your OPs a bit different and they'll be allowed.

>>1231604 Hah! What a story, Mark

>>1231821 Please don't keep shit like the drawthread because that was a bot infested shithole on 4/v/ ran by a few requestfags tricking artists into drawing their dumb fetishes over and over and siphoned OC out of their actual threads to pretend the thread was more active than it actually was. Nothing good ever comes from generals.

Was kind of expecting this to happen, honestly. Sorry for how "we've" been behaving, I know apparently a lot of your old threads got lost in the wave of general spam..Will threads for specific games still be allowed? >this is specifically for threads like "/xivg/ - Final Fantasy General XIV - DawnTrail" where they have a set template and way they do things and really shouldn't be on /v/ since they're not really talking about the game and they're just copying and pasting the OPs from 4/vg/ So, do you mean the circlejerk threads like /bag/ and /calg/? Would a TES or RTS "general" still be allowed?

>>1231803 kek this

>>1231885 This might shock you, but 8/v/ is not 4chan. Our drawthreads are mostly artists posting their work, requests aren't made that often because they're rarely ever fulfilled. Before the exodus, our current drawthread had a a grand total of seven.

>>1231604 Thank you, this is great

>>1231963 Nah it's still a requestfag shithole spamming their garbage here. Once artfags learned to ignore it they started popping up in random threads with their retarded requests since they weren't getting any bites in their containment thread. Your ilk did serious damage to OC and artfriends on /v/.

To be honest I have no clue why /bag/ was here anyway, all the other gacha generals from 4chan are on /gacha/ and aren't having any problems (outside of their respective schizos finding them) as far as I know

>>1231885 I haven't seen many bot posts at all here in fact, the jeets didn't seem to follow us over.

>>1231997 The fuck are you talking about, Anon? >your ilk I'm FROM here

>>1232063 Your stupid thread has the same stupid general template from 4chan that existed for years, no point in pretending like you're some independent actor especially since the thread is filled with exactly the same kind of requestfaggotry and begging schizos that ruined OC on /v/ by driving artists away with your rancid autism.

Shut the fuck up cake kike.

>>1232063 You say that yet you don't have the webm

>>1232106 Also since those threads were just a containment of request bots on 4chan people started making stealth drawthreads instead where the actual artists would post, but that was already degenerating into typical generalposting too. If you do want to have some positive change then at least drive away all the requestfags and stop pretending like they're related to drawing, you beggars simply aren't artists and should stop pretending like you are allowed to be in the same threads.

Please actually move /xivg/ to /vg/ and keep their shit contained there. As much I'm a regular (yet hated) within the community from 4chan, there's no reason for them to spam /v/ with 10 different general threads, especially when half of it is off-topic discussions about gooning and borderline sketchy shit.

>>1231604 POST HIS ASSHOLE

>>1232182 I do not, but he did inspire me to make this.

So how's the overlap in moderation since you talk about 'working together' because /vg/'s last post in the meta board was yesterday and per-post captcha is still on.

>>1231892 I'm the board owner for /vg/. The theory as I understand it is any general directly related to a video game is welcome on /vg/ while the more general ones might stay here. Examples >TF2 General /vg/ >RTS General /vg/ >Grafix card prices, Gamergate, Video game waifu general, drawthreads, etc. /v/ The only noticeable change will be less revolving general threads on /v/. The jannies for both boards communicate and allow meta threads, so this shouldn't be a hard transition. >>1232236 Per post captcha is on because we had a severe autist spamming thousands of replies.

I guess enough people complained in the meta thread & the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Questions: Will rule 5 be rewritten yet again? Is AI General also exempt since it existed here years before? If Blue Archive & Final Fantasy XIV generals go to /vg/ will bump limit be lowered back down since it was raised to accommodate them?

If you're confused, I'm basically talking about threads like the XIV threads and these >>1205209 >>1185475 >>1184364 >>1178262 >>1158401 >>1130100 >>1111855 >>1108087 >>1106075 >>1105548 >>1102378 >>1098758 >>1098569 >>1098317 >>1097416 >>1095167 >>1093504 >>1093461 >>1092783 >>1091387 >>1092637 If you'd like to stay with us then It's fine, all I ask is that the OPs be a little different and don't have any specific mention of a "General".

>>1232251 correct

>>1232271 Shut your fat nigger mouth cake kike.

>>1232230 Your thread is a literal copy of the 4chan requestbeggar threads to begin with, that's where this "culture" began and you should be ashamed of calling your requestfag thread a drawthread. I'll never post my art in your shithole.

I don’t even why /xivg/ exists here or /vg/, other than the mods just being cool with them. They have their own board on the website.

>>1231604 >moving all generals to /vg/ <except the ones i like ,they can stay That's what you did the last time too Mark and what happened was a healthy community reduced to what amounted a discord circlejerk where everyobdy might as well had names because you could tell one another apart each time you posted So the question that remains now is: who the fuck are you gonna blame your own failings this time on this time around when things inevitably go tits up now that there is no jim,no ron no hotwheelz,no julay ,no goons and no boogeymen left to blame?

>>1232265 Mark you literally merged the existing TF2 thread into the general

>>1232262 Generals that existed before the downtime of 4chan will allowed to be here. I'm only really doing this because the catalog is in a pretty bad state and tons of anons have been complaining about it. Even new ones may stay as long as they don't get overly obnoxious.

Can Acid remove Mark as board owner so the worthless cake nigger fucks off? >>1232321 STOP SPEAKING OUT OF TURN YOU OBESE PIECE OF SHIT FAGGOT

Janny could you make f5b903 go away, he's just seething to death over a thread he doesn't like. >>1232321 Which threads are pre and post 4chan, is there a way to tell?

>>1232265 >If you'd like to stay with us then It's fine, all I ask is that the OPs be a little different You tards clearly don't realize this makes the entire thing pointless.

>>1232308 /vg/ seems (seems, maybe it's not) like a ghost town so if it doesn't have much moderation I'm worried that'll >That's what you did the last time too Mark and what happened was a healthy community reduced to what amounted a discord circlejerk where everyobdy might as well had names because you could tell one another apart each time you posted happen too, oh well. I get this board being too fast for regulars but most of the generals are honest to god game discussion, but I guess they discuss the game too often and it pushes shit out of the catalog.

if generals are gonna be moved to /vg/ is /vg/ gonna be pinned to the top bar similar to the failed /vb/?

Is anyone else getting stuck on "Uploading 100%" and then getting a "Connection Failed" message when they try to upload images?

>>1232288 Also fun fact, drawthreads are some gay mod's little pet project on 4chan and criticizing them will get you banned and your post deleted even if the post wasn't in the drawthread itself, they've been utter botted garbage for like a decade. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't know how much of a shithole it was but bringing over that exact culture isn't going to help, and no your thread isn't older than that shit.

>>1232336 >which threads are pre-4chan? Granblue Fantasy, Blue Archive, Grand Strategy, handhelds, and I believe Doom and TES may also stay

>>1232345 /bag/ or /xivg/ probably won't care where they go, I don't see them petitioning to stay here.

>>1232307 >They have their own board on the website. Most likely this board was made by one of the worst schizos from /xivg/ (or worse, the 4/v/ thread with special 4janny treatment only for one particular snowflake), and it has thread IDs disabled. No one has ever wanted to use it exactly for these reasons.

>>1232251 >>RTS General >/vg/ Hmm, interesting. Is having a thread for a specific genre not general enough? Or is this more to avoid stuff like /fgg/ and the like?

>>1232307 It's troon controlled apparently

Here's the list of threads I want to move over to /vg/. If you wanna stay, let me know and we'll work something out. >>1231590 >>1205209 >>1185475 >>1184364 >>1178262 >>1158401 >>1130100 >>1111855 >>1108087 >>1106075 >>1105548 >>1102378 >>1098758 >>1098569 >>1098317 >>1097416 >>1095167 >>1093504 >>1093461 >>1092783 >>1091387 >>1092637

>>1232389 /bag/gots are well behaved and have been, as I said, grandfather'd in to this board for a while now, long before 4chan fell. I think it deserves to stay. Nobody would bat an eyelid at a toubou general staying on /v/'s catalog since touhou used to be the comiket golden boy, now that crown has been given to Blue Archive.

>>1232255 >>1232262 Is Lynxchan-Extended causing this double-posting (since it has an option to save contents of Quick Reply) or is it just the site being shit currently? When attempting to post it hangs on 100% constantly, then tries to restart from 0%. >>1232336 The latest AI General has links to previous AI General threads that were moved to /ais/ dating as far back as 2022, but there were two more threads even before that. >>1232375 YES I'm getting that a lot & it seemed to be causing double posts for me.

>>1232417 I agree

>>1232417 Touhou discussion was made unusable by shitty ritual posters and they shouldn't have been allowed to fester, I don't care enough about BA to judge but the very nature of generalfaggotry brings down whatever it's related to.

>>1232410 I will argue that you let general TF2 threads stay BUT only if the OP isn't just a copypasted /tf2g/ OP and instead focuses more on the latest update or happening or drama with the game. /tf2g/ can still exist on /vg/ but more discussion should occur in the /v/ variant of the TF2 thread

>>1232410 So can you not talk about these games here anymore or what's the deal of how this is gonna work?

>>1232445 Does that not fall under general avatarfagging? That is bannable. But in any case, I don't think anyone is ritualposting much in the BA threads or even avatarfagging for that matter.

>>1232445 Does that not fall under general avatarfagging? That is bannable. But in any case, I don't think anyone is ritualposting much in the BA threads or even avatarfagging for that matter.

>>1232507 Not necessarily avatarfagging but the 2hu threads on /v/ were filled with usual suspects that know each other and do typical generalfag things like vagueposting, not talking about the subject matter and having their own recurrent drama. I really don't get how generals are still somehow tolerated by some people when they 100% of the time turn everything they touch into shit.

>>1232442 Is there anything I can do about this? >>1232375

>>1232389 Some of them are throwing a bitch fit about the /xivg/ special section being made and for good reason. I wouldn't touch that fucking board without IDs enabled, especially with how much schizoposting occurs day in and out. >>1232409 Unironically, yes. It's ran by a few dozen schizos that regularly hang out on Balmung. Some of them have cat girls / female lizards with cocks and they love fetishizing trans porn.

This seems way too subjective of a rule. Also nobody wants to use /vg/ because no thread IDs=rampant samefagging

>>1232578 Wait for shit to calm down, we're under heavy loads. Also try TOR

>>1232471 That's fine, I can agree with that.

Ah so if they wanna keep shitting up the place that's fine if they change the OP a bit from time to time and pretend there's a "topic" they're discussing? Cool. Can't wait for 4ch to be up so I can go back to a /v/ that's actually usable. I love being forced to use the catalog, because if I hide all the threads they still show up on page 1 and within 2 scrolls I'm already at the bottom of the page. Really cool design! But hey at least the trannies are circlejerking each other and erping in their containment threads in plain sight of everyone, but the topic totally changed they're erping in a different place now!!

>>1231604 Move the fucking DALLE trash off to /vg/ or /trash/

Holy shit thank you I can't take these cuckchanners following me anymore. I see them everywhere now.

>>1232608 i can't think of any other time no id would be wanted except until if someone made a confessional board

>>1232647 Depends. If I get several reports that they're just erping and not discussing video games then we might take action. That being said, we're not against people making themed video game threads like before 4chan was up.

>>1232608 >nobody wants to use /vg/ because no thread IDs=rampant samefagging /vg/ does have thread IDs though.

>>1232697 >Covering the naughty bits with a plastic bag. Honestly the mildest gore pic I've ever seen.

>>1232718 Oh never mind in that case then I don’t really care. Sorry I’m retarded I was only tangentially aware of some FFXIV bullshit going on.

>>1232417 Why the favoritism? If everyone else gets kicked out so should the gooks.

>>1232710 >Depends. If I get several reports that they're just erping and not discussing video games then we might take action. So if a bunch of fags (/xivg/ avatarfags) are ruining a thread (ERPing and being retarded in general) they'll get rewarded by being moved to /vg/ where they can do it in peace to everyone elses suffering ?

>>1232727 We should bring back /baph/ and show these losers what real gore looks like.

>>1232710 OK then fix the navigation issues in your HTML? You do realize that when someone uses the paged view instead of the catalog, every hidden thread still takes up a thread "slot", right? So if page 1 has a limit of 12 threads, if 8 of them are hidden then literally within 2 scrolls you hit the bottom of the page. It's fucking awful viewing experience. Either make the thread hiding actually do something, or actually get them gone.

>>1232761 Feel free to make an actual thread with an actual topic actually talking about the game, if it happens to be flooded with general troons then that's not a point in favor of tolerating generals.

Does the normal Granblue thread get to stay? As a board tradition kind of thing.,

>>1232710 What exactly impede someone from just doing a bunch of ERP in bad faith just to get the thread moved?

>>1232767 Just use the fucking catalogue. Most posts are barely a day old.

>>1232786 Pretty much the only general here being low quality is /xivg/ because the avatarfags are just.. there (I don't know if people aren't reporting them or what), the rest of the generals are just talking about games, you can go check If they're too fast for /v/ and them being on /vg/ is better alright but this whole 'generals are being cancer actually' fake narrative needs to stop

i don't understand anything

>>1232793 Make the OP better

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/533067-fullchan-x /\/[a-zA-Z]{3,6}\//gi to banish cuckchan generals to the shadow realm.

>>1232815 All generals are cancer actually and I say this as a long time /agdg/ poster, it slowly but surely got taken over by a higher and higher ratio of faggots, schizos and ritual posters over the years and basically nothing good is left, it's the inevitable fate of every general.

>>1232836 >Make the OP better You're joking right?

>>1232647 > But hey at least the trannies are circlejerking each other and erping in their containment threads in plain sight of everyone Examples?

>>1232836 mark why i cant post some of my webms i made? they seem perfectly fine but i cant post them, i keep getting "connection failed" why? 20+ MB with sound webms.

>>1232815 Oh. I've been reporting them. You have someone by the name of ZT (which people confuses me with and accuses me of being that pedophile) who is actually posting underage NSFW characters of "Miqkittens", Lalafells, and children-like characters. All while saying "I like cunny" and other deranged shit that someone belongs on the registry. /xivg/ has some mentally deranged freaks that tolerates pedophilia.

>>1232842 Neat, thanks anon.

>>1232836 What if I make a good OP and I am having my thread with good discussion and someone in bad faith decide to just spam ERP with the help of someone/ swapping IP just to get the thread moved?

>>1232321 >Generals that existed before the downtime of 4chan will allowed to be here. You allowed those because you only had 10 users before, the AI general has absolutely nothing to do with video games

>>1232903 Then the individuals involved will be banned and the thread will resume as normal.

>>1232903 It seems like what he's saying is you can have a "Monster Hunter thread" but you can't have "Monster Hunter General" with links to a bunch of resources copied from a template.

>>1232922 I will take your words, but I will be watching to see if it will actually be in effect.

>>1232924 correct, I don't mind if you have a body of content and THEN a bunch of resources copied from a template. Although you should at least put a bit of effort in.

So it seems like 8/v/ is adopting the same "no generals" rule that 4/vmg/ had, which imo is pretty stupid. Basically, /vmg/ was /gacha/, but as you can see from the /gacha/ activity here, it's all general threads... except /vmg/ had a no general rule. The end result was that everyone used /v/ and /vg/ to post about gacha, and /vmg/ was basically a ghost town that only really existed for gachas that weren't popular enough to sustain a /vg/ or /v/ thread. And /vmg/ generals would still get deleted if they looked anything like a general, so people would make topical patch-related posts as the OP, and then put all the "general" link infos in the 2nd post. Completely retarded and arbitrary ruling that I believe was eventually overturned like 5+ years after /vmg/ was created, but the damage had already been done and /vg/ was essentially a gacha general board and /vmg/ served practically no purpose

>>1232787 Yes.

Just move the generals to /vg/ The issue with 4chan's /vg/ is that it was literally going to hell a.k.a. no moderation or IDs or anything and if your thread moved there you knew the discussion would degenerate into absolute garbage Not an issue here (so far)

>>1232710 Just a heads up, there was a situation with non-general /xiv/ threads in the halfchan /v/ board. People who got shunned from the /xivg/ threads for being schizos and other shit would just flock to /v/ and make pseudo-generals that would always be on the catalog. There were legitimate people as well for sporadic discussion but there's a precedent for bad conduct in this regard.

>>1232920 They're clones of janny-approved 4/v/ generals too so that should have been a double exorcism, I don't see how generals that were already here are any less cancerous.

>>1232842 Never mind, I'm actually retarded, that filters URLs as well. /(^|[^a-zA-Z0-9/])\/[a-zA-Z]{3,6}\//g Now THIS is pretty damned solid. No URLs sneaking into this one.

>>1232647 I honestly can't tell the difference between regular thread and general at a glance, at least right here and now What's the difference between "Fire Emblem Thread" and "Fire Emblem General"? What's the difference between regular talk and extended talk of a topic? It all comes down on how many schizos are in the thread, 4chan's /vg/ eventually became a rat-race to not get deleted for inactivity which naturally breed schizos out of necessity until they built a critical mass that was unbearable

>>1233113 >People who got shunned from the /xivg/ threads for being schizos and other shit would just flock to /v/ and make pseudo-generals that would always be on the catalog. There were legitimate people as well for sporadic discussion but there's a precedent for bad conduct in this regard. Misinformation fag, it was the opposite. People made threads on /v/ to not have to post on /vg/ amidst actual unironic erotic roleplay between 30 year olds (and therefore getting their gameplay posts ignored).

>>1232408 Fighting games are video games, I see no reason to forbid them from having a general on /vg/. I could only see a problem arising if: >specific games in a larger general began having flame wars with each other. (example: Street Fighter fans and Mortal Kombat fans shit up the Fighting Game general constantly.) >thread was more about ecelebs, pro players or tournaments than video games But at that point, those posters might start a new separate general anyway. If a thread's posters are largely happy with the state of the thread, why disrupt that? Threads naturally form their own culture.

>>1233113 >>1233172 My perception of the /v/ XIV threads is that you got your thread deleted and a ban if you made an XIV thread on /v/... unless it was a shitpost made by Barry, or that one Lala avatarfag, and the /v/ threads were usually more schizophrenic than the /xivg/ threads somehow, where people were crying about "Homestuck" and random other bogeymen whose names I don't even recognize.

>>1233166 When there's nothing to talk about a thread ceases to exist, except with the general culture it continues to exist through off-topic talk and the attention whoring and schizoposting that it brings, so the only practical difference is that generals are specifically not about their subject matters.

This is a great change and I hope a good number of threads relocate. The entire board was turning into /vg/. I know /vb/ exists, but there's not much discussion to be had there.

>>1233172 There were normal people as well but there absolutely was a big amount of avatarfags who would only shit up and ERP the /v/ threads because they didnt like the other people or whatever.

>>1233206 Correct. People started making deliberately negative OPs because they'd get deleted on sight otherwise.

>>1233235 There's no coming back once you let a specific game have a general for too long, the general posters will simply spill over and shit up whatever non-general thread they find too and this should simply never be tolerated at any point.

>Ya'll Banned for the wrong reasons.

>>1232647 Let's look at this from the point of view of cuckchan, since that seems to be what you're more familiar with. Was there always a Helldivers 2 general up in /vg/, with people screaming "lobby doko" to each other for hours on end, posting low effort memes, discussing some updates here and there with the people dedicated enough to find the /vg/ thread and talk there? Yes. Has that existence ever stopped someone from coming by on 4/v/ and creating a thread about helldivers to talk about something recent that happened in the game? A new patch? Maybe just a shitty shitpost? No, not at all, it's still a thread about video-games, but it's not this infinite spam of infinite discussions only with those that play the game and are looking for lobbies and shit. This is the idea, I think. And this was using the Helldivers 2 general as an example, not the even shittier generals with avatarfags and ERP drama like FFXIV.

>>1233135 The native filters don't seem to work with that although they support Regex, but it works with the Fullchan-X filters. Nice script. >>1232842 Can we get a link on catalog threads that will go to the thread HOWEVER replace /res/ in the url with /last/ so it will only load the last 50 posts of the thread? I think using the reply count text for the link would be the least obtrusive since that text is already present. As it is now the [Last] link can only be seen outside of the catalog. I think it can be useful on large threads when the site is going slow to use the [Last] 50 posts link, but since it's not on the catalog I don't use it.

>>1232647 >>1232786 >>1232846 At this point I'm curious of what you consider non-generals. >and I say this as a long time /trannyrunner/ poster That explains it I guess, you have literal PTSD and are a closeted tranny.

>>1233109 >The issue with 4chan's /vg/ is that it was literally going to hell a.k.a. no moderation or IDs or anything. Not exactly. I've been banned over sixty times from /vg/ and most of them were for off-topic when I was on-topic. The moderation on /vg/ is selective and only localized on certain boards or people. It's why the boards are absolute dogshit and filled with gooning material.

>>1231604 Oh hai Mark!

>>1233448 Organic threads made because someone felt like talking about something and others organically coming over to talk about that subject too because they're interested in it, as opposed to being interested in the existence of the thread itself and the meta culture around it. It's pretty clear really, if you're more invested in a recurring thread with recurring people than the subject then it's a general.

>>1233456 >he moderation on /vg/ is selective and only localized on certain boards or people. It's why the boards are absolute dogshit and filled with gooning material. Worse, they actively tried to make the place worse to play their turf war faggotry.

>>1233415 Generally people have been trying to discuss the new content that has been released. Posting characters to show off the new gear doesn't really strike me as an issue personally. If anything the gooners and schizos should be punished instead of removing XIV completely off the board.

>>1233485 I asked you for examples, not for some nebulous definition you will apply arbitrarily. Link them tranny.

>>1233135 Is there a point of the /g flag? Not sure if Fullchan is the same but 4chanX’s regex engine applied filters globally by default, so if Fullchan is similar then only /i would be necessary to make it case insensitive. But idk because I’m kinda new here and I only know of the halfchan stuff really.

>>1233493 just go to /vg/ tranny

>>1233498 I'm not going to because I know you'll just argue in bad faith and try to twist every thread I post as actually a general in disguise, that's the angle you decided and there's no point in continuing this further.

>>1233493 That's what I like the least about this change. Rewarding bad actors (assuming /vg/ is way less moderated, that is. I don't know how teehee's volunteer situation is but a lot of the bans have been from the owner himself). I'll live with it as much as I seethe at mark, but still. I don't use /xivg/ much anyway.

>>1233534 So you have no examples and just want to kill perfectly fine discussion because you got traumatized by xiv and have an axe to grind. Got it. Kill yourself kike.

>>1232417 That doesn't make any sense, it's still a general, it should be moved to /vg/ or /gacha/. There was no touhou general on 4/v/ either. It especially doesn't make much sense for the weird special rules you need to make for archiving their threads ontop of that with /barchive/

>>1233415 Well yes, you're describing the difference between (4chan) /v/ and /vg/, the former being for general video game discussion and the latter being for more structured generals. This seemed to be more or less the opposite on 8chan so obviously people would start making generals on /v/ and attempt to have more general video game threads on /vb/ and from the newfag sticky: >IF you want something more akin to 4/v/, I recommend >>>/vb/ which is basically /b/ but with video games >ALSO WHEN MAKING A NEW THREAD MAKE IT AROUND 150 CHARACTERS OR MORE WHEN MAKING THREADS OR TAKE CRAP THREADS TO >>>/vb/ i'm not trying to stir shit at all but these two points make it seem like it's more or less intended to have generals and not your average (4chan) /v/ thread even if its not a shitpost/goonbait/ragebait thread

>>1233548 I have no particular interest in XIV nor its threads since I don't play the game so there's nothing to ruin for myself, but judging by people who do care the general was obviously a net negative for the community.

>>1233600 At the start it was, at least. Even yesterday people were talking about the new rock-clicking minigame all thread. Now some faggot is baiting a discussion about loli and pedos and I can only hope my reports work.

>>1233600 >>1233625 I read that as 'positive', gomenasorry anonpai. Disregard

>>1233504 That's a good point, force of habit. Removing the g wouldn't keep it global, but now that I think about it why the fuck did I put that in? It only needs one positive after all.

So is /hgg2d/ getting moved or what?

>>1233222 Sounds like the real solution is a moderation team that actually does something

Why are some generals staying here? That's really stupid. Don't make retarded exceptions. Move them all there.

>>1231604 Mark, you fat faggot, you're still hanging around here?

>>1233135 You should add "normies" to the default filter.

>>1233756 Damn, how did I miss that? Added.

>>1231604 I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I mean, it's good for generals to be originally worded, but at a certain point I think people copypaste the generals because there's only so much you can say about a game in an opening post. But that's just how I see it, and maybe it's annoying dealing with repeat generals from a moderation perspective.

>>1233490 >a literal westoid sega employee somehow was also a janny and constantly patrolled open world gacha threads, this caused half the turf wars The tranny gwiz was also a menace to gacha games in addition to pso2? Or was this ANOTHER sega employee?

>>1233725 >4chan moderated by troons >8chan moderated by troons >all other alt chans are most likely moderated by troons It's truly over

>>1233725 This

>>1233800 Troons are so numerous I have no idea if there's multiple sega employees doing this shit.

>>1233725 It isn't fair to the generals that have been here for years for them to have to move because of a massive disruption. Besides, 4chan generals are similar enough to 8chan threads, but threads are usually written by an OP and often have an introductory discussion whereas generals are copied from a pastebin and exist solely to contain discussion.

>>1233883 Is it really the same general when 99.99% of it just refugees from 4chan that adopted it? Also you make it sound like clicking on /gacha/ instead of /v/ is some kind of huge "disruption" when in reality it doesn't affect them one bit, in comparison to the /v/ catalog just always having /bag/ at the top while its not bumplocked actively making the board worse for others.

>>1233773 Heh, that was fast... Thanks for writing the userscript Anon. May I use this opportunity to ask you whether it'd be possible to make it easier to close the "posts by this ID" list box thing (by e.g. clicking outside it)? As it stands now, you need to click on the ID again to close it and this makes it highlight all of the ID's posts as a side effect, and it stays until you refresh.

>>1233923 If the refugees are discussing the game the thread is about in a productive manner, then I don't see the issue.

>>1234046 Cuckchanners can't go more than ten seconds without going "XCUCKS COPING AND SEETHING THAT YGODS WON O ALGO" and then go "How did you know I was a cuckchanner? When they prove they can evolve past 2018 4chan board culture they can join the adults.

>>1234113 Where have you even seen this and why aren't you reporting it?

>>1234113 >O ALGO Awesome sharty lingo, '8chan' friend!

>>1234113 I genuinely can't tell whether or not you realize that you are describing sharty posters.

>announce you're purging generals >don't remove the three biggest ones Why even bother?

>>1231604 You're not supposed to play favoritism as a mod, you're just pissing off everyone. These tourists are going back to 4chan regardless and all you did was hurt your image for no gain.

>>1234113 >O ALGO Fuck's that mean? Algo as in Spanish for something?

>>1231604 So how much is nexon paying you to keep the BA niggers around on /v/?

>4tards cry about muh immigrants causing issues and not adapting to cultures >they become said immigrants themselves >they shit up the new places they go and refuse to adapt Makes me kek a little with just how Ironic things turn out

>>1231604 >That being said, if any particular general wants to stay on /v/, I'm perfectly fine with that No, all generals belong on /vg/. You can't half ass this shit, Mark.

>>1231604 >That being said, if any particular general wants to stay on /v/, I'm perfectly fine with that. what the fuck? remove them you retard, this board is fucking unusable when it's full of generals, don't be a pussy and take them away

>>1234388 What even is a non-general at this point. How any of them aside from the ultra-fast BA one is even annoying you with the massive thread limit on the board?

>>1234165 Notice how it's in the quotes.

>>1234190 The sharty whether or not they admit it are just a continuation of 2018 4chan culture that was eventually banned because trannitors on there got mad. Cuckchan, sharty, it makes minimal difference to me, same thing now anyway, they apparently got hit with 1000 refugees from there after taking it down anyway., so now the Sharty has become E-London, where the natives are being replaced by the less evolved, more brown progenitors. Either way, I've seen both since Cuckchan went down. >>1234153 Old oblivion thread. /co/.

>>1232265 I'd prefer for them to be moved. I don't see much reason why any of them would have any particular attachment to keeping their threads on this board. I think it's best for everyone that way. But do know I'm saying this as a refugee who posts in a couple of them.

From what I've read, the shittery is in /xivg/, no? Admittedly, I don't have reason to go to a thread I don't play the game of. I suppose the question being asked is, what specifically have /bag/ and /xivg/ done to warrant ire aside from breathing? I can understand wanting to not have the entire enchilada in terms of generals (/calg/, for example, seems a bit excessive).

>>1234343 Yeah I'd consider it more frustrating than ironic. >>1234469 Some of these are long-running threads that have already been on this board for ages. the Drawthreads, Blue Archive, Granblue (though it's only the new thread that calls it a general, really wish the OP had a bit more care and didn't put that in there), and the AI one.

>>1234406 honestly? yeah you're right, feels like every thread is a general, maybe I'm just a bad immigrant and I don't understand how this board works compared to 4chan's /v/ randomness. if it's supposed to be just full of big threads for each game and not have random gaming threads then yeah, I'll probably just lurk for a bit and wait for 4chan to come back

>>1234483 Obviously, it's not a winning situation for "the exceptions", either, since if every other general is moved, then the remaining ones become more apparent. I'm curious, though- if /bag/ has the argument of being "grandfathered in", what other threaderals would have such a claim?

>>1234498 sometimes you have to laugh at the sheer hypocrisy nature of people even if it can be frustrating, To me the frustrating thing would be they never see themselves as a problem, they will forever live that shitty way and blame others, it's not us, it's 8chn. or any other chan!

>>1232410 If you are asking if some generals should be allowed to be stay around, at least for a while, then I will like to see /dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress general stay /dfg/ was a very slow shill general, that in fact was pushed out of 4/vg/ and died for a while because it, alongside other minor generals, couldnt keep up with all the gacha generals speeding up the board. It was only able to comeback in name when the jannies lifted the ban on of generals on /vst/ - vidya/strategy last year, because that board was so slow that a thread could stay on the catalog for up to 9 days without a bump before getting 404 If by chance it starts getting constantly more than 20 posts a day then you can feel free to move it to /vg/ or if someone makes a 8/vst/ that isnt dead then it would be cool to move /dfg/ there too. Otherwise we could reach a compromise like the TF2 anon since the game is getting updates montly now instead of once ever 2-3 years

>>1234498 Well Mark didn't mention those being any of the threads he wanted to move.

>we're moving generals over >check catalogue >15 generals at the top no you aren't mark you fucking lying retard

>>1231604 I think further splintering the userbase is not a good move considering how fragmented we are currently

>>1234552 +1 to dwarf fortress thread can stay just drop the "G" from the name cause that's mega gay

>>1234469 > I don't see much reason why any of them would have any particular attachment to keeping their threads on this board user numbers is king

Good. I prefer my gennies to be segregated from /v/ at large anyway. Better for everyone that way. Moot was right.

>>1234300 Do you really want to waste brain matter on this? It's /pol/ - /int/ - sharty lingo to represent and/or discredit someone as a stupid american, amerimutt, latinx pardo, you guess it, by adding "or something" or "ou algo" (spanish/portuguese) for extra effect because >lol, you brown pardo mexican stupid or something

Kick them off the board and then have them choose between /gacha/ or /vg/.

I'm beginning to think /xiv/ was the problem, not the other generals themselves. Maybe send /bag/ and /gbf/ to gacha hell.

>>1234552 Remove the cuckchan naming format and write an original OP and you should be alright.

>>1232604 It makes me laugh that you're apparently hated by everyone in your community but also spam the same gossip they do.

>>1234737 /xivg/ is the main problem, there isn't a general in existence with as many schizophrenics as theirs. /bag/ was pretty harmless.

>>1232321 Can /gbvsg/ still post about our tournaments on /v/

"Generals" are just threads that are popular enough to sustain regular discussion. Sometimes they're about one game, sometimes they cover a broader range of related topics. Not only is this sort of thread encouraged on 8/v/ it's even enforced by merging threads. And the 4chan themed generals are no different aside from being populated by refugees. In theory I could see the utility of separating out the regular threads so you have a video game board with a more varied range of topics. But it seems like that's not what you're doing, and are instead fixated on the world "general" because it's become a sort of boogeyman for threads people dislike. The way you explain the issue makes me think you want something like 4/v/, where the popular topics/games/series still get constant threads but the word "general" does not appear in the OP. Instead everyone plays a sort of shell game in which the OP of each thread is about a different thing within the game and other fans of the game recognize the thread and expand it to cover the entire series. All this does is make the stealth generals more insular because the threads are only recognized by people who are already familiar and the OP does not contain useful information for newfags. I've also seen some complaints from 8/v/ oldfags who claim to hate generals despite 8/v/ being full of generals, what these people actually want is for you to temporarily disable thread creation, direct all refugees to a new board, move all recently made threads. Anyway it seems like my favorite general is getting banished. As a refugee I can't argue if you don't want to deal with the shitposters, or even if you simply don't like the series, so I'm only complaining about your reasoning.

>>1234846 >/bag/ was pretty harmless

>>1232230 Could you restore the eyes, please? I think it's funnier that way. Thank you :)

>>1234522 Samefagging? In a thread with IDs? Come on now anon. >>1234737 Granblue and Blue archive are staying, as has been said so several times. They were here before the cuckchan refugees flooded in.

>>1234869 Did you miss the part where you're allowed to talk about it if you make original OPs and don't treat it like a general..? Just don't erp and have extended off-topic rants/arguments with each other? Hell, even the /xivg/ers in this thread already outed themselves as inconsolable schizophrenics.

>>1234890 >Samefagging? No, the intent was elaboration, but I suppose I could see how it would be taken as such.

Big fat lie I still can see like 10 active generals, they literally put general in the subject. You only moved like one thread, do you have a beef against that game? What did they do to you? What the fuck is this half assesd attempt, move all of them or none.

>>1234903 They weren't refugees.

>>1234859 I think we deserve another chance on /v/ considering we actually tried to hit the 1500 post limit on our second thread.

>>1234894 >Did you miss the part where you're allowed to talk about it if you make original OPs and don't treat it like a general..? no

>yeah move the generals to the general section >but no this one >this one either >also not this one haha it's so stupid why is this pinned?

>>1234930 Another lie. Most of those are less than a week old.

>>1234949 What is the problem? Community driven selective purges is the most technically simple and effective solution I can think of to the almost 20 yo general issue. I would like to see it implemented to validate if it works or not.

>>1235072 >Community driven selective purges is the most technically simple and effective solution I can think of to the almost 20 yo general issue. >20 yo Older. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettlement_policy_of_the_Neo-Assyrian_Empire

>>1235130 Imagine the avatarfagging those days...

>>1232764 I remember being in the Star Wars Galaxies Emu 8/v/ clan chat when /baph/'s owner went out. How time flies. I miss those days.

You know what? Fuck it, just ban all generals with the exception of share threads. If you're just going to use an OP from a pastebin, then it should be banned.

>>1234859 Yeah. News, updates, events (including those organized here by players) and all the like can have threads here without problem.

>>1231604 You really need to formalize the rule, make it pretty clear and enforce it. Otherwise someone will chimp out somewhere down the line.

I don't really care much about all this as long as the Gamergate thread remains on /v/.

>>1235352 >You really need to formalize the rule, make it pretty clear and enforce it. Otherwise someone will chimp out somewhere down the line. Thanks anon I needed some LOL after the week we had.

>>1231604 I don't mind moving /xivg/ specifically since that general on 4/vg/, and all discourse on it, was entirely controlled by dedicated schizos who never tallked about the game anyway but are we still allowed to have xiv threads on /v/ if they're actually composed of genuine game discussion? I like xiv, and I'd like to talk about it, but I don't want to have to share a general full of mentally ill aspiring thread celebrities who don't have any desire to talk about the game, which is what /xivg/ was composed of. Obviously game discussion would need to be enforced on /v/ with things like thirst posting, avatarfagging, schizo posting, thread celeb attention whoring, etc being grounds for post deletion, but I would be appreciative if there was still a place where sincere discussion was possible. Anyone who knows about 4/xivg/ knows game discussion was functionally impossible there due to flooding, samefagging, and an iron grip over moderation but if they all end up going to their general on /vg/ to do what they like then that might actually become possible again for the rest of us.

>>1234949 It was over before it began

>>1234552 Did dorf fort ever fix the fps death problem?

Refugee here. I don't get it, wasn't most of this board just /vg/ generals when we arrived here anyway?

>>1235670 It's a post made solely in response to a bunch of malding rapefugees and one Soyjak Party nigger shitting up the meta thread. To appease said retards.

>>1235670 The problem is that we had a particular way of making generals/psuedo-generals. That and all of the problems /vg/ generals sometimes have not being welcome on our board. Both 4/v/ and 4/vg/ have problems we don't want to deal with. 4/v/'s way of treating threads is also a problem. Rapefugees not wanting to assimilate is the primary issue.

>>1235587 It's better after some nice performace upgrades and some multithreading thanks to the new coder working with Toady, but FPS death will aways be a inevitability due to the lack of constraints in the game design. The performace improvements means that you can either keep the fps death away for much longer or that you can push the game to its limits harder before shit grinds to a halt.

>>1235742 >and some multithreading Finally. At least that's been fixed. >lack of constraints in the game design. I never expected that to be fixed. Last I paid attention to it, it was a passion project. Let autists be autists, I say.

>>1235690 Lets see how quickly they find something new to complain about lol >>1235723 I don't mind moving over so the natives can have it their way. It's only fair. We initially had the chance to move to /vb/ I guess.

>>1235690 Lets see how quickly they find something new to complain about lol Solution is ban all wojak cancer

As some 4fag observer I must say this is very funny

>>1235789 I've been enjoying the increased discussion we've been having and I think only generals that descend into retardation should be moved. We've always had generals and if generals stay on topic and actually discuss the game they're about, then I see it as being welcome. What I don't want to see is the catalog polluted by multiple threads on a single topic, or low effort bait/template threads, like some cuck/v/ users want.

I'd love if all the h-game stuff moves over to >>>/hgg/ personally. It was my favorite board on classic 8chan.

>>1235670 Can you describe what you mean by “generals”.

>>1235508 I think the "simplest" solution to this problem is mandating tags for generals and tangential topics. Users can then easily define their own content filters based on these reliable tags instead of elaborate regex filters. Failing to tag a "fringe" thread should have it removed along with a temp ban. The catalog is large enough for this solution not to result in crowding out the primary content.

>>1235885 Lurk more.

So why are everyone getting fucked over due to /xiv/? Just send the niggers to /vg/ or /vvg/ given the tranny still has control of the /xiv/ board itself.

>>1235902 That isn’t an answer. We need to define and describe our terms here. The general impression I get is that you consider any thread with an OP containing more than 5 words to be a general.

Makes sense for this change, and it might give more life to /vg/.

>>1235947 I'd start with the ones openly identifying as generals. Then they'll change tack and stop being so obtrusively conspicuous. That alone would relieve substantial contention.

>>1236000 Well some cuckchan rapefugee is the one that made the current GBF one and he shoved GBFG in there when it didn't have it before. What if something like that happens? If you're going to do something like that you have to apply it to new threads from here on out, not existing ones too.

>scroll through thread >people dont understand the difference between a general and regular thread tl;dr: generals are glorified chat rooms and regular threads talk about the damn game

>>1236030 The incest game general, the baldurs gate general, the fighting game general, and the yugioh general all talk about the game doe

>>1235888 >>1236000 Dub-trips I am the King of Czechia and objectively correct.

>>1236056 Yeah, but Mark doesn't like those ones.

>>1236056 >The incest game general First off we've had those before. Second, the thread you're likely referring to is on topic and discussing the game.

>>1236084 >is on topic and discussing the game. Yes, I said that

>>1232251 is the "atlus games general" general enough to stay on /v/ or is it too specific?

>>1236091 I thought you were being sarcastic, anon.

>>1235885 Reoccurent bumplimit to bumplimit threads on the same game/genre/topic. >>1236030 I think this is where a culture clash is happening, as 4/v/ would autosage or delete what you call a regular thread as a general.

>>1236030 A regular thread on cuck/v/ is 'is coffee good for you?' with a woman being fucked by a nigger, or AI peach porn with 'does anybody else wanna BE her??'

>>1235935 Or just make your own board and stop telling the admins how to run the site. Oh wait you’re all trannies.

>>1236056 he doesn't care, what he wants is twitter / reddit / article / youtube and thinly veiled advertisements threads making up the majority of OPs. This is what will happen the moment generals go away unless heavy handed moderation is employed, if not just 15 minute wait timers and proof of work systems. /vg/ was a mistake, what people really wanted was a means to deal with /sc2g/, /meg/, /lolg/ not every single video game that is able to sustain regular discourse be moved to a completely different board. People forget there was a huge drama about every single possible game related thread being forced to /vg/. Slightly unrelated It's kind of funny the "AI Limit" threads would routinely get 500+ replies but on 8/v/ it's hasn't even broken 150 after nearly a week. https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/subject/AI%20Limit/

>>1236188 The AI limit threads (at the start at least) felt pretty organic, 4chan already had a pretty decent amount of code vein and god eater fans and the threads took all day to hit bump limit too, maybe they got weird later but I didn't keep up

>>1231604 I'm gonna have to ask you NOT to move the yugioh thread to /vg/ for several valid reasons. -There's already one there, it's called /dng/ (dueling network general) -Said thread is 90% offtopic shitposting, avatarfagging and other degeneracy -It's very famous for being run by a clique of discord trannies that drown out ontopic discussion with literal scat and diaper posting -The thread in this board is made for 3 boards: /tg/, /v/'s master duel and general yugioh threads, and /vg/'s master duel and duel links general, all of which DON'T get along with the tranny cabal in /vg/'s dueling network general -Even though 3 different boards post in it, it's very slow, we've had 1 and a half threads since the cuckchan exodus

>>1236114 >as 4/v/ would autosage or delete what you call a regular thread as a general. thats because the tranjans were unregulated, you'd never see ni >>1236138 those threads are also because the tranjans were unregulated >>1236188 >proof of work systems are you the guy from the meta thread that wanted a reddit karma system?

>>1236188 >15 minute wait timers Becoming cuckchan is truly the smart approach here. Surely.

>>1236301 That's not what I mean and you know it you just want generals off /v/ so you it can become 4/v/.

>>1236324 15 minute wait timers is fucking ridiculous and a cuckchan instance of retardation. Do you want us to register an email account, too dipshit?

>>1236348 >>1236281 samefag, knew it. he does this every time, you make a suggestion, then he make a ridiculous claim you never proposed and then he demands you argue within is framework.

>>1236360 We got IDs here nigga

>>1236370 yeah and it's easy to switch between IPs.

>>1236377 You can get a new ID, but I'm pretty sure you can't go back to an old one, the last post you said 'samefag' to has 9 posts

>>1236381 do not engage, he is 100% the guy from the metathread that wanted a reddit karma system, given that he's freaking out about samefagging just like that guy did.

>>1236394 Eh okay

>>1236030 >tl;dr: generals are glorified chat rooms and regular threads talk about the damn game I don't think that's a problem that 8chan has, not yet at least

>>1236394 You're just upset that you can't samefag properly without me noticing and you're using that other anon's ignorance to your benefit.

It's weird how that other anon disappeared too, I'm surprised he didn't immediately claim not to be a samefag.

>>1236405 It's something that can be easily fixed with basic moderation, if it does become a problem.

>>1236405 I've talked about this all day but most of the 'I hate generals' complaints are just people with 4chan PTSD or in some cases (like the REEE kill the incest game thread NOW it's the dev shilling! guy in the meta thread) an axe to grind

>>1236428 Ah, but of course, not the people who think the board is too fast, that's perfectly valid. Don't want threads being pushed out of the catalog in a fashion the natives aren't used to, that's lame to have.

hey guys check this crazy pic out

>>1236166 Sounds like it was FF niggers in the end and I struck a nerve.

>>1231604 BASED

>>1236188 >Slightly unrelated It's kind of funny the "AI Limit" threads would routinely get 500+ replies but on 8/v/ it's hasn't even broken 150 after nearly a week. Despite popular belief, not all jannies dont do it for free

>>1232842 I don't know shit about css and JS but I AI slopped shift clicking a thread in the catalog to banish it. just go to banishThreads(banisher) { and swap the function out with this one

>>1236714 I mean if anyone wanted to. I realize now it sounds like I'm asking you to slop your code lmao sorry

>>1236436 my problem with generals is that they can pretty easily flood a board if left unchecked, especially if that board's natural populace isnt fast enough to outpace the general makers. you get shit like /xivg/ where they had more than five bumplocked threads at once, or entire pages that are almost completely filled with generals. i remember on 4/vg/ the genshin general could get up to fucking seven bumplocked threads after an update and that was one of the fastest boards on the site. imagine if THAT moved here. there would entire pages of dead genshin threads. a general dominated board doesnt allow games that cant maintain fast paced discussion (which was also the point of the /v/ splits, to let niche games have proper threads) or topics about vidya, like VR. (no, a vr general is not a solution) generals also make it difficult to discuss a specific topic about a game too, or discussing specific flaws about a game. since in a general thread you have the same old same old poster base that has their own defined opinions and talking points. introducing a new talking point is unlikely to garner any real discussion, and introducing an opposing talking point is likely to pit the thread against you. >>1236498 what point are you trying to make with this image? you posted it in the meta thread yesterday too in response to lolis.

>>1236791 I think it depends a lot. Some old CRPGs would just never get talked about if /crpg/ didn't exist on 4chan for example, exactly because they were niche, /crpg/ was a place where people played those games, on /v/ you might not even get a reply. But that's 4chan, not here, so eh whatever. The real problem are schizos, one made /crpg/ really bad until he ragequit, but afterwards you could discuss pretty much whatever, some people even liveblogged themselves playing these old ass games nobody's heard about. I think generals can be good a lot of the time, but again it depends.

>in response to lolis lmao you're so lucky this site doesn't have a real archive, you're a disingenuous faggot and you're just using "lolis" as a way to mask yourself as a "based 8chan user". Everything about your posts scream shill, like you want people to talk about lolis because it "offends normalfags" even though that isn't really the concern of shills.

>>1236856 Anon I love you and all but you're starting to remind me of all the "GASP!... is this.. videogames!? BUY AN AD!" posters on 4/v/, not eeeverything is a shill

>>1236899 >missing the point I spent time arguing that generals should be allowed on /v/ because they suppress marketers, generals are video games, what's the problem? How exactly are going to deal with pic rel? He's talking about a game's performance on a console, it's obviously a fucking shill thread and a majority of 4/v/ thread have similar patterns to them.

>>1236856 i left the tab open, looks like it was in response to them to me. cope more and have another loli. >y-you want people to talk about lolis because that lets you shill for some reason! no, to simply post them because it makes people like (you) have meltdowns and eventually leave the rest of us alone.

>Please do not put locks on your doors? >Uh why? It stops bad people from robbing >Just put loli wallpapers up, that'll stop them >No it won't, they don't care about that. >You're just a cuck who hates loli porn, I want the all doors to be unlocked and all borders to be opened, that's the based chud way! not to mention loli PORN is against the rules on 8/v/ so it's obvious he's just saying this shit so he can sound "based" so people don't acknowledge the intent behind his posts.

>>1236029 I'm one of said rapefugees, and I'm only posting this so you aren't misconstrued by a schizo at some point in the future. BUT! The thread we moved into once halfchan went kaput was called /gbfg/, it just didn't have the actual 'general' part in the title.

I think the new/outsider generals flooding the board are a bit gay, but moving all of them is a bit much isn't it?

>>1237107 >just put locks on your doors >ok, what kind of lock? >a karma lock that gives more popular people more precedence than you in your own home! >fuck off >REEE YOU JUST WANT PEOPLE TO ROB YOUR HOUSE!!! anyways im not entertaining you unless you can explain the exact method and purpose of the "locks". the point of lolis was already explained to you in the meta thread yesterday anyways. if you cant understand why a karma system doesnt work on any kind of chan you dont belong on the chans, simple as.

>a karma lock that gives more popular people more precedence than you in your own home! lol now he's just saying random shit, a lock that lets MORE people in your home, somehow. Okay so if your based loli site had a karma lock wouldn't that mean more pedos would get in? Wouldn't that be a good thing? You keep pulling this card where I mentioned something a day ago, as a mere a suggestion and you're attempting get as much mileage out of it even though I said it was a suggestion based off what I read on /t/, that's it. It's obvious that not only do you hate security, you have a problem with natural suppression methods (generals) keeping shills off the site. The only reason why you keep saying karma is so I can argue over whether or not something is redddit, not falling for it.

whats the purpose of /vgg/ then?

You know how fucked up it is when gachafags are the fastest board in this site (and still growing) while /v/ itself has been torn between appeasing oldfags and refugees.

>>1237229 Okay and? My point still stands. If your based loli website had some kind TERRIFYING NEO-NAZI SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM wouldn't that mean the based pedochuds would keep gross non-pedos like me out? You'd just set up your system for your community, problem solved. Do you want to be raped to death by non-pedos? wtf? freak! Why do you have a problem with security? You're against generals on /v/ which serves as an effective natural deterrent against shills, why?

>>1237283 your proposed security system allows someone to force their own opinions to the top with a dozen bots. >You're against generals on /v/ which serves as an effective natural deterrent against shills, why? i already explained why, >>1236791 have you ever considered reading and understanding before spouting your opinions?

>>1232410 /vrg/ here we wanna stay if we can. our topic is about virtual reality as a whole and not any specific game in particular. what changes can we make to make this work?

>>1237314 we've been avoiding making another thread after #2 because we didnt want to annoy people with catalog duplicates

>>1237283 >>1237305 also, equating loli to pedophilia only outs you as a normalfag outsider. get bent and get out

>>1237305 Okay proof-of-work slows downs bots by making them do extra computation before clearing a captcha, also there's these things called RULES that can be enforced, what's problem? Rep system just doesn't mean anyone can just brute-force the system with bots and change the rules and culture, how does that work? >generals can flood a board so? I don't care if there's five bumplocked /xivg/ threads, there's also other generals on the board, what's the problem? I'd rather have that than 20 advertisement >>1237354 okay, how exactly are you going to keep me out if I use bots and bring over other normalfags exactly? You keep using lolis as a plot device to explain why you shouldn't have security features, it doesn't make sense even if you are a pedo.

Wasn't there some post in the meta thread about a rep system some time ago? I'm noooticing.

>>1237369 Yeah from this 1432d8 retard

This crap just makes me frustrated at this point. 4chan had this problem worse but this place gets it too? I don't care what goes on in a genera. The few generals I go to are just niche games that don't get talked about a lot. Why isn't this just a stupid simple solution? /v/ is for actual thread based vidya discussion, that is the thread is centered around the specific topic set by the OP. It may or may not evolve. /vg/ is for generals for GENERAL discussion about a overarching topic such as a game or niche genre of games. Discussion is never related to the actual contents of the OP. /gacha/ is for gacha generals and normal threads (rare). It's there just because of the large number of gachas and the fact they are different enough when compared to normal video games /ai/ for all the fifty million ai dump threads that I still do not get the purpose of. What's wrong with this approach? Why can't we do that? Why didn't 4chan do this? Again this isn't about "containment" because you hate something, it's about segregation of topics for ease of browsing. When I go to the couple generals on /vg/, I don't browse around the board, I head straight there. If I'm on /v/, I'm there to browse, not look at generals.

Generals were never a problem, /meg/, /lolg/, /sc2g/, /ksg/ were. /vg/ should have never been made.

>>1237416 Why does it matter what kind of drama and weirdness goes on in a general itself? Honest question. I feel like it'll only matter if you actually cared about the game (rip ksp). But if you don't, then why does it make a difference? Why should we police other general threads that we don't participate in?

>>1237387 cuck/v/ isn't 8/v/. Fuck off.

>>1237367 >proof of work ah yes, because captchas have TOTALLY been proven to work and arent a glorified "no guns allowed" sign! yep just ignore the fact that 4chan, which was filled with bots, also had a captcha! >rules which if enforced means that your shill fear wont exist even if generals are split from /v/ >Rep system thats literally how it works. other people increase your rep and push the visibility of your posts up, if you have enough bots you can brute force it so that you remain at the top while people you dont like sink to the bottom. >i dont care if the catalog has been completely flooded by generals as long as i dont see non-general threads! just of of curiosity: if the generals get moved... then why dont you just move to the general board? why is it of ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE that the generals remain here? by your own argument would it not be better to have a vidya discussion board and a shill containment board? >muh security it has been explained to you time and time again why your security proposals wont fucking work. >PEDO PEDO PEDO again, normalfag outsider. please leave. >>1237416 >generals weren't the problem, generals were! >>1237369 its the same exact fucking guy, all he wants to do is turn chans into reddit lite.

>>1237354 Equating arousal to drawings specifically designed and tailored to resemble the form of Democrat supportings to being aroused by the form of Democrat supportings makes you factually correct. Get therapy for your cognitive dissonance.

>>1231604 Ni No Kuni 2 was a good game

>>1237443 I will once 4chan comes back up tomorrow. I just want understanding on this, to what I assume to be, simple solution in regards to discussion segregation.

>>1237468 Fuck off permanently and livestream your suicide.

>>1237479 Now that's just incredibly rude.

4chan refugees are NOT adapting to OUR dear Infinity-chan at all... *le sigh*...

>>1237456 complete and total meltdown, he's frustrated because he can't actually explain why a pro-pedo rep system wouldn't keep non-pedos out. If you remove the loli (which is pretty much just concern trolling at this point) it's obvious that this is a shill upset that someone is considering some form of security. He's the one arguing for no borders, no police, no peace. >>1237503 >switch to a new IP >reply to some random post >then reply to the person causing you a problem too obvious.

>>1237490 And yet you still post on the Sega of imageboards,curious..

>>1237518 Guests are guests. If anything treating the hosts badly should be frowned upon.

>>1237456 The lolifag is immunised against all dangers, but call him a pedo and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out".

the loli component to his posts is just concern trolling and masking, he doesn't care about loli, he just wants some leverage in the argument because he doesn't have a valid point against SUGGESTING security measures.

>>1237526 >>1237550 everything has been explained to you before, you are willingly choosing to not read any of it.

What a mess.

>I explained it I don't care about your explanation, it's the fact that discussing security and suppressing inorganic activity is causing you to freak out is what I'm interested in.

>>1237536 Seems inevitable as long as 4chan is down. There are just too many refugees coming here. Not much you can do honestly. Your voice will just get drowned out in the crowd. On the bright side for you guys is that 4chan should be fixed relatively soon and I'd imagine most everyone that came over here will flock back as soon as that happens.

>>1237536 You seem to be in complete denial about reality. Reality is your BO wants them here and you are no longer the indigenous population ,you have already been replaced. Or did you miss the welcoming matt >>1089686 on the very front of the board?

Probly gonna two-time it here and old country. I crave the vitriol and dopamine f the rage and constant feed of interraction, but over here we can actually fucking talk about Onirism without constant "generals belong in /vg/" powertrips.

>>1237617 Would you say you've adapted the culture? Read before you link things retard

>>1232410 Mark you are one cool nigga for actually making the board a less shitty place and being active in it instead of sitting on the sidelines and being a faggot.

>>1232568 Yeah that honestly did piss me off quite a bit when i just wanted to see 2hu memes

thank god, yeah people were seething but the entire fucking catalog was VG copy paste spam , like fuck off with that shit

>>1237669 His level of micromanaging is actually warranted with the speed of the board, he's usually an overbearing jewish mother who constantly puts her kids in time out. Those were very dark times, he was far more despised then, and justifiably so.

>>1237731 I could go for some jewish mom food, wonder what that's like.

>>1237658 I would say i have webm folders that are older than most posters in this place but that is of no importance and not relevant to anything i'm currently saying. >Would you say you've adapted the culture? Is that the case for any population replacement instance when it happens?Or are you still so delusional that you think this is anything but?

>>1237761 >BO wants them here <your welcome to stay...QUALIFIER...don't be a retard >does something about it when we don't adapt and act like retards couldn't care less about the indigenous remark

>>1237579 >discussing security >causing you to freak its more along the lines of trying to explain that your proposed "security measures" dont work. but here lemme reiterate on all of it and put it in one post to make it easy for you: >rep system turns the place into a popularity contest echo chamber, inherently anti-chan and allows artificial inflation/deflation of reputation, making it easy for a single person to dictate what a board looks like. this is why reddit is a shithole. in your lock analogy, imagine it as putting a lock on your door thats directly tied to your likes on social media. someone with more likes can choose to kick you out >ring signatures dont actually provide anything. in your lock analogy, imagine it as taping a photo of a lock onto your door >proof of work not a single captcha has been proven to actually be effective. no more has to be said on this point in your lock analogy, imagine it as putting a lock on the door but not actually connecting it to the door frame. >generals to push out shills they also push out less popular game threads that cant maintain a general. in your lock analogy, imagine it as opting to not have a lock but to instead pack your three person home with 50 people. yeah robbers cant just waltz in but you also cant use it as a house anymore the thing that you're forgetting (or dont understand) about the internet is that keeping a group away is never as simple as "just implementing X", if it were really that simple the normalfag and bot problems would not exist. you need the people themselves to make the space hostile to the undesired group. against normalfags and bots/shills, this is anime and lolis. the bots/shills are sent to where normalfags are, and normalfags dislike anime (and outright flee from lolis). anime/lolis are the best way we've got to keep normalfags and shills/bots out of a space, i have watched many threads be salvaged from bad actors because someone just started to post lolis. to deny their effectiveness is to out yourself as a normalfag or shill. >inb4 dismissing the whole post by crying about lolis and proving me right

>>1237831 >BO wants them here <your welcome to stay...QUALIFIER...don't be a retard >plot twist:BO was retarded and just wanted other retards to be retarded with all along

>>1237923 >not a single captcha has been proven to actually be effective. no more has to be said on this point Dunno about that, do you have any studies on this? >using loli to get rid of normalfags and shills would much rather we use gore or something, easier to desensitize myself too and not as fucked IMO (that's a horrible thing to say but just proves how much shit i've seen)

>>1231604 Why not anchor the generals that stay?

>>1237966 >easier to desensitize myself too and not as fucked IMO

He's still trying to argue that a rep system is some how bad for community that uses. Okay so what's wrong with a pedo chud like yourself dictating what is and isn't okay to post? You keep using words like "reddit", "social media", etc just because it has an ew icky factor because otherwise everyone would see you're full of shit. This is just nazis had borders tier argument so I'm suppose to turn my brain off, except in this case the "nazis" didn't have a real gatekeeping system, just upvotes. >inherently anti-chan lmao this is nonsense. Is an anonymous chatroom more "chan" than a board with IDs? You're just saying random shit and hoping it sticks. I'm just making suggestions about security and not only are you have a meltdown, you're also making shit up. >>1237966 he's not actually into loli, the loli part is just a cover. He really just wants to shill up /v/ and having generals / security measures get in the way of that. I mean gay furry scat would keep normalfags off of 8/v/, should we allow that? Oh wait that isn't what a based chan user would say so of course not.

>>1238052 loli is explicitly permitted in the /v/ rules fuck off

>security measures >I'm just making suggestions about security What exactly is he proposing with this think-of-the-children bullshit btw? I'm not reading all the schizo rambling.

>>1237966 >Dunno about that, do you have any studies on this? well, the bots are fucking everywhere and have always been everywhere. everywhere from 4chan to reddit to twitter, you'd be hard pressed to find a site thats active and doesnt suffer some kind of bot problem. manage to beat the bots anyways? there's always the jeet/chink content farms that'll work for even less an hour than maintaining the bots would. and they are pretty much just bots+. actually thinking about it its probably not even a bot problem in the first place and more of a third worlder problem. >would much rather we use gore or something gore also works and is arguably more potent, but has the problem of making the place miserable for regular users too, even those desensitized. lolis are simply cute, and people who understand that 2d =/= reality can appreciate having cute things on posts. its just that normalfags have trouble with that, so they see any kind of loliposting and start to freak out. >>1238052 >he's not actually into loli incase you havent noticed by now i never said that, i am simply saying that they are effective for keeping normalfags out. also thanks for proving my INB4 right. please leave, you will never be a real channer.

>hours passed >catalog still full of generals >some like /gbf/ and /bag/ get to stay >despite being completely usurped by us tourists I mean I post in both and cant complain, but this is just a hilarious double standard The old BA thread practically doesn't exist and it's now just a general like any other with copy pasted OPs And if you've spent any time in /bag/ it's literally just a porn dump and chatroom with the gameplay discussion on the side Imo it would be fine if there could be a regular thread and the actual general moved to another board 4cuck's /v/ regularly had BA threads every now and then that weren't formalized as a general, and although the posts were mostly the same it didnt have the same thread culture

>>1238094 lmao you don't even a point anymore, your argument has boiled down to a "gotcha" >well erm I didn't ACTUALLY say I'm into lolis, so you're wrong? You made all your post about lolis and now you're backstepping because I said why not gatekeep non-pedos? and because you can't actually argue what's wrong with this thinking, it's clear you have a problem with security has I have removed "lolis" as the issue. >borders? security? that's like woke leftist social media reddit, real chuds like myself LOVE open borders!

>>1238094 >actually thinking about it its probably not even a bot problem in the first place and more of a third worlder problem. I would be very curious if mark could give us info on how many third worlders visit here, i'm sure he has the stats somewhere also i know this probably would be a little bit of a bitch to implement but https://doom-captcha.vercel.app/ this would be fun as a new capcha system, you could even change it up and make it a different level each time with different objectives. Yeah i don't like either its just if i had a gun to my head i would choose gore i suppose, not that either are good. >>1238036 >twitter post >>1238052 yeah i get it i'm just saying i wish we had countermeasures that weren't so demoralizing and bad for the mind.

>>1238126 >>twitter post yeah, because it portrays opinions of normalfags (like you) very well

>>1238132 >you don't like eating fecal matter? must be a normalfag! nigger please stop gargling 50 cocks at any given time.

>>1238148 if you can't distinguish between 2d and 3d, you're a braindead normalfag go back

>lolis lolis lolis lolis UMAD? >gets completely and totally destroyed to the point he cannot cope with muh lolis anymore >erm actually I'm not into lolis? heh btfo

>>1238085 tldr: he thinks that implementing reddit karma will keep redditors out and that lolis dont prevent normalfag infestations. >>1238148 nigger how are lolis equal to eating shit? they are cute, they harm absolutely fucking nobody, you want to headpat them, they keep the normalfag away. you couldnt get a better anti-normalfag system than that. also >>1238168 >>1238117 >nope, not actually responding to your post >now let me compare you to a liberal faggot because you wont let me fuck your site with a karma system the interwebz dont work like real life, the sooner you understand that the better have a good day, retardanon. i've gotta organize a modlist for a few friends. if you decide to respond sincerely to >>1237923 then i might spare you some more time.

>>1238168 I can, i still don't like it though. >>1238176 I'm thinking he's explicitly talking about porn, if not then i misunderstood and i apologize.

>>1238181 yeah lmao im not talking about loli porn, just the sheer sight of SFW loliposting is enough to make normalfags run like a jew thats been caught coin clipping.

He keeps saying "reddit karma" even though it could easily be "/pedo/ karma", what's wrong with a pedo chud dictating the security measures? Why do you still have a problem with gatekeeping if it's meant to keep out non-pedos like myself? This whole thing falls apart when you realize "lolis" and "reddit" are just framing devices, I think I broke him lol.

>>1238193 S'all good then man although you've got to realize the sfw posting of them might invite the more degenerate side of people and hopefully you can curtail that.

>>1238206 true, but thats where the jannies actually come into play.

You are a liberal faggot, you're trying to use word games to make me feel bad about gatekeeping. You literally cannot make your argument without saying reddit, karma, "social media", etc in the same way a liberal cannot make their argument without saying "nazi".

>>1238216 I wonder how many jannies mark actually has under him right now

>>1238176 >he thinks that implementing reddit karma will keep redditors out and that lolis dont prevent normalfag infestations. that will turn the site into sockpuppet circlejerk IDs already go against the essence of imageboards, but they might be a necessary evil because you can dismiss shitposters and only invest effort into replies to people who argue in good faith, so overall they're net positive >>1238197 you are a little baby who is hungry for authority go create a discord channel you don't fit in on imageboards

>>1238229 You're obviously just replying to yourself, you can change IPs all you want but you're still seething because your "loli gambit" was defeated.

>loli keeps normalfags away judging from nu-internet it feels like zoomers are evenly split between demonizing it and making memes about it so I wouldnt rely on that entirely but that's just my 2 cents >UOOOHH *crying emoji* got pretty mainstream for example >>1238225 /vg/ BO is one

>>1238256 That would make sense for them to have a tight relationship Also like i posted earlier i really do think that doom capcha would be a fantastic way to weed out retards and bots and third worlders maybe someone could contact the creator and have it be jumbled up between various open source games (probably all idtech)

>>1238254 you want to control what people see because you think that they can't think for themselves, schizo this is what it all boils down to you have a mainkcharacter/savior syndrome it's especially ironic because you cried about "muh liberals" just a moment ago, but you share the same traits as them

>>1238301 >no... you're the liberals huh? The liberals want more police on the streets and border control? Based if true. You're just trying to frame having real gatekeeping security as bad, because you're suppose to be kept out.

>>1238217 GBT r/the_donald retard

>>1238323 you are a retard if you think karma system can't be easily gamed by the dedicated schizos are you going to implement registration too just to try to make your fundamentally flawed system work? you're very naïve and most likely underage, stop talking

Is there an amateur gamedev general and where should it go?

Damn you guys have been arguing for hours in the meta thread and now here?

I broken him down to the point it's just insults, lmao. >s-stop talking naive! underage! DON'T KICK ME OUT

>it can be gamed by dedicated schizos uh so what? I security features, I didn't say implementation, I floated some ideas a day ago and you're still melting over it now. Clearly it's more than just some edge cases of schizos (who would just be banned).

>>1238373 yeah its two schizos schizoing it out

naïve underage retards like you also implemented many "security features" on 4chan the end result? 30% drop in post count (mostly from legitimate posters who not that tech literate), the site no longer grows, while schizo shitposters still their spam shit like nothing happened keep crying

>>1238418 LCP seething rn

>>1238365 is there an 8/g/?

>>1236138 >A regular thread on cuck/v/

>>1238472 watching all the wrongthinking cunnyposters and people writing like me flooding the board and causing all these paranoid accusations has been fun for me actually. after all the years of gaslighting that I'm somehow the exception here its nice for you to get shown first hand how alone you really are and that the common sense takes that have made me a boogeyman are actually the rule and not the exception.

>>1238418 Yeah if we keep the bad elements (you) out we don't need 15 minute timers or ludicrous captchas. You're bringing up 4chan's systems now because you've ran out of arguments. >hey instead of putting locks behind all the products we just deal with the "problem" stealing them?

>>1238668 Your analogies are retarded. You are not competent enough to keep people like me out. Every so-called "security measure" has to be weighted for harm/benefits on a scale of the whole site. Otherwise you get a situation where DRM only hurts legitimate customers. There are 0 shitposters when nobody uses the site.

>>1236188 They had already started to slow down before the site went down. You sound like a janny that considers any discussion of a video game to be an ad.

Yeah he's just cycling through whatever argument it make towards why having gatekeeping systems won't work. At this point why even have rules? Rules = social media, no rules is based and lolipilled, 2ch is not a real chan, neither is 8chan because it has subreddits (boards) with IDs (social media). Before it was reddit karma and now it's DRM and now he's calling me a janny, huh? just whatever comes to mind?

He keeps saying "I'm just discussing video games" it's weird when you search up lines like that on /v/ you get posts that are replies to people noticing a pattern with the OP. Like I said >>1236990 This is obviously a shill post in the pic, how exactly are you going to stop things like this? He's talking about video games, it's absolutely /v/ related.

>>1238731 >>1238745 I had no comment on your other shit. I was just saying you were acting like those faggots that scream BUY AN AD anytime a thread for a niche game is posted. You seem to just be shitposting though, so you probably are one of them.

once again he doesn't want argue, it's just ankle biting insults with one of his sockpuppets.

>everyone who disagrees with me is one person certified schizophrenic

4chan is about to be back in a few days at worst so I don't think making these big changes is all that important. 90% of the people will move back there

You didn't even bother trying to defend your shameless samefagging earlier, why bother now? Because your "based lolicon" bullshit was destroyed?

Mark ban this fucking schizo

>>1234884 Sure, but it's not as obvious he's meant to be redanon

>>1238868 >4chan is about to be back in a few days at worst source?

>>1238888 open the site

>>1238873 >main character/savior syndrome I swear this is the third time I see a schizoid call someone else this way. Just a random observation.

>>1238896 Yeah that's not reassuring

Why even pretend to be racist when it's obvious you're anti-locks, anti-police and anti-border?

I'm anti-retard. And genuinely a different person.

>>1238896 oh hell yeah >>1238835 this is also my main argument against thread IDs. they do nothing to deter the "i dont like you, you're one person!!!" schizos (if anything, they become more annoying) and its easy to fudge the ID anyways so they dont stop shills/shitposters (and only gives them more ground since "well, i there's multiple IDs!") IDs are the worst of both worlds.

>You shouldn't have IDs because people can fake them uh yeah that's why security guards (gatekeepers) are needed. kys faggot.

>>1238909 >all blacks are niggers

>>1238931 You can filter the schizos and random drive-by shitposters. Who gives a fuck if one retard screams "samefag"? Just filter.

>>1238947 >just shove the problem to the side bro that is how we ended up with the soyjak problem.

>>1238959 There is no solution to that. You can only starve shitposters by not giving them attention, nothing else works.

>One ID disappears as another replies >gets accused of replying to himself >suddenly the ID comes back to reply to himself.

>>1238970 You can ban them

>>1238970 the soyjak problem popped up because the jannies let them fester on /qa/, and once they finally did something the tumor was far too big to simply cut away. if the ELQ posts were actually moderated from the start, they never would've caught on. >>1238976 >am i insane? >no, one guy simply has 10 different devices that he swaps between

>>1238993 yeah, breeding ground issue is a real problem but I don't believe heavy handed moderation is the solution

>devices lmao, pretending to be stupid.

>>1239000 we are laughing at you right now

He gets called a samefag ealier, doesn't respond, when it's brought up later suddenly the ID reappears to pretend to disagree on things that are utterly unimportant.

>>1239010 I told you to take your meds and didn't even entertain the samefag argument.

>>1233490 >the guy spamming literal scat and porn gore not only was homeless, he was also a /vg/ janny Grim.

>>1239008 i think the funniest part about this guy is that to him IDs prevent samefags and shills... but are also easy enough to fudge that one guy can maintain and quickly swap between ten IDs in a single thread

>>1239028 Wanna do a jigsaw puzzle online just so the schizo melts completely?

>>1239049 eh jiggies arent my thing, and im not done pulling together that modpack i mentioned earlier.

>>1239057 It's not about your thing or not, it's about proving that we are different people with 100% certainty.

>>1239072 i think its funnier if he smugly says >heh, i knew you were one person! in response to my rejection.

>>1239016 >>1233490 >>1238868 Unless they've done a complete purge of the moderation it's not going to be any better. >>1239072 >>1239049 If schizos were convinced by evidence they wouldn't be schizos. It would be funny though.

>>1238931 >oh hell yeah why does anyone want to go back to that shithole, 4cvck should stay dead

>>1239096 >Unless they've done a complete purge of the moderation it's not going to be any better. Yeah, I've been enjoying this place way more but the majority of people is going to go back and you can't do much in a ghost town

>>1239101 my favorite threads were too small to find purchase anywhere else :(

>use vm and free vpn (8chan doesn't ban them (good thing)) >switch between them it's that easy. I don't know why this guy is pretending to be stupid with the whole "YOU NEED LIKE 1000 COMPUTERS" thing, very obvious considering his replies are very limited, polite to supposed "other" anon

>>1238931 Now all the shitposters can go back.

and yeah IDs don't make sense in real life if there isn't an entity to validate them, hence the need for gatekeeping.

>>1239131 do you want to see a jigsaw puzzle solved online by multiple people? what kind of excuse are you going to make, schizo?

>>1239154 He'd just claim you pulled out some extra devices and/or called in discord buddies and dismiss it. I hope he's just pretending to retarded and is (You) starved due to his shitposting home still being gone.

>>1239179 Well, at least he will switch to "they are gangstalking me!" instead his boring "he is samefagging!".

We've arrived at the final destination, unable to cope with the fact that yes indeed we need gatekeeping his only resolve is to pretend I'm stupid by pretending it's impossible to run VMs and VPNs.

>>1239233 How are you going to fake multiple people worth of work solving the puzzle in realtime? Nobody is pretending, you are actually stupid.

Man, you guys are still at this? Russian>English tl is trivial, so just look at Joyreactor if you want to see the whole karma system+image board thing in action. Just get off the computer for a little bit.

>>1239233 i dont think you quite understand what gatekeeping is. >making the place hostile to normalfags by posting things that scare them? >no, no. that wont work. >we need to add a captcha instead! and implement a karma system! that'll definitely work!!

>>1239251 Starting to think they're doing a bit rather than actually arguing at this point.

>>1239275 Alright, I want to be completely transparent... All the post in this thread are made by me. Even the one I'm replying to. I'm very lonely and I always wanted to be an actor.

>>1239275 >>1239290 Those posts? All me.

>>1239290 (true)

>>1238993 >the soyjak problem popped up because the jannies let them fester on /qa/ 4chantanic narrative.

>>1239101 That's what I said.

>>1239260 Why repeat this same bullshit >Hey guys we should put locks on our doors to keep criminals out >Uh no, what we need to do put lolicon posters on our wall >But that won't stop them? >Heh, yes it would you normalfag! also the issue isn't normalfags, it's shills and spammers, you know this which why you want to talk about normalfags and lolis. I don't know why you keep saying karma in the vain hope that some random dumbass will come along and say "durrr reddit karma bad, no gatekeeping at all good". Again, why would pedos have a problem with gatekeeping against normalfags? What's wrong with that? You're still an anon, you just can be easily filtered / blocked if you ID doesn't check out.

>>1239489 >normalfags arent the problem aye there it is. you NEED to go back.

Why is so concerned with avoid the issue of shills and spammers? It's obvious that he's only using "normalfags and lolis" to mask himself as a "based chan user", even though he's terrified of gatekeeping because that's authoritarian or something. >I'm a based pro-loli chud >who's terrified of gatekeeping >except when it's ineffective and won't stop normalfags (to whom I am replying to) from using the board Again, what's wrong with pedos gatekeeping against normalfags? Would you have a problem with this? Are pedos being normalfag reddit authoritarians if they gatekeep?

>>1239562 its been explained to you before. shills and bots follow normalfags. you keep the normalfags away, and the shills and bots will leave with them. >buh thats not how it w- normalfags are also a drastic hit on posting quality, resulting in things like frogspam. making the space hostile to them is an objective plus. >buh muh kar- you genuinely NEED to go back

He can't even explain how it would stop normalfags from using the site, /b/ has normalfags on it and there's straight loli porn threads on the board. He's just using lolis as a framing device so he can sound "based", without he >shills and bots follow normalfags that's not what shills do, and people can use bots for all sorts of reason you're pretending to be stupid. Shills want to leverage the conversation and prevent consensus from forming in places that are deemed "influential", "cool". Again you're not explaining why a based pedo chud like yourself shouldn't dictate who can and cannot post. He wants communities to be less vigilant around shills and less cautious too.

>>1239605 the fact that you genuinely cannot understand why a karma system would fuck over any chan its implemented on is enough refutation of your point on its own.

>>1239251 doesn't futaba channel use updoots?

Agian, he's ignoring that I've said numerous times that I just want some form of gatekeeping security, I said I'm repeating what I read on /t/ and he's freaking out over real gatekeeping and suggesting things creates a false sense of security against actual intruders. He has to keep saying reddit, karma, etc and focus on one word I said over a day ago because he can't pretend to be based without it. He doesn't even deny that's what he's doing, he just ignores it. He's effectively saying >uhh yeah you can leave the door unlocked but if your house stinks no one will rob it It's because he's a thief, he wants everyone to be stupid so he can carry out his crimes.

>>1239669 >you calling things exactly what they are means im right!

>/b/ is filled with normalfags >/b/ allows loli He will never argue against this because the whole "muh lolis" thing is just bullshit and he knows it, same with talking about the same thing over and over again, "muh karma" even though I said multiple things that got from /t/. and he hate's generals which suppresses shills, it's obvious it's because he is one. How do you not come to this conclusion >Hates generals on /v/ because they block his twitter / reddit screencaps >Hates IDs >Hates gatekeeping >Whined about authoritarianism in the meta thread >Wants everyone to adopt a delusional false sense of security

>>1239669 No one is talking about robbing anything, it's closer to leaving your lounge stinking of shit so only fellow scatmen hang around your lounge

If /v/ is /vb/ and /vg/ is /vg/, then what is the purpose of /v/?

>>1239697 >multiple things times* >>1239703 for advertisements.

>>1239625 >that's right! It's not really an account based karma thing like they seem to be *discussing*, it's used in a similar way as 'based' and whatever.

>>1239697 everything has been explained to you multiple times. the only reason im still humoring you is because im bored. i like how you yourself have not explained how your "security" actually keeps the problem groups out, even in face of people explaining why they dont work. your only response is "muh liberals. much locks!" you know what the funny part about common locks is? the kind you use on a house? they are the biggest false sense of security you could have in regards to personal security. they only really stop the least determined from getting in, anyone that actually WANTS in knows several ways to pick the lock. and its not like the criminal cant just break a window. loli posting is the equivalent of owning a gun so that you can just shoot the fucker when he gets in.

>>1239745 can you stop replying to him?

>He completely ignores the topic of /b/ and normalfags how did I know?

>>1239727 I think if you get a big enough negative reaction they'll show your id on non id boards, to combat samefagging and such

>>1239754 im bored. besides 4chan will be up soon anyways, then this guy can stay here alone on his deadchan and scream into the void about turning it into reddit. >>1239759 4/b/ is the coomer hole, there are no normalfags there. only people somehow even more braindead than them.

>>1239772 >he takes soon™ at face value

>>1239789 i've waited years for CH3+4 and even more for silksong, i can wait a meager week or two.

Everyone on 4chan was a normalfag because that shithole is as mainstream as any social media site now. You fags are not special.

>>1232410 Egg wants to stay. It's not really a general in the traditional sense. The heavy shitposting on 4/v/ made it impossible to discuss the intricacies of engineering-like games and the relatively small userbases for each individual game made it impossible to keep a thread up on 4/vg/, so we coalesced into egg. We could drop the general designation and just keep it around as an engineering games thread and there wouldn't be much difference to most other threads.

>There are no normalfags on /b/ kek, so now we're down to just straight up lying. He can't argue against so he has to invent something "worse" than normalfags apparently. I have proven his "muh lolis do the gatekeep" psyop to be wrong, hopefully more discerning anons will read this conversation for what it is. This discussion is over.

>>1239821 anon i want you to look at a /b/ archive and tell me its not just a [porn - random]

>>1239834 >porn - random Random? It's the same porn that gutted /gif/. >inb4 loli See >>1239399 The show was 18 years old when 4chantanic ship was built to crash /qa/ iceberg and sink in 14 April 2025. Self-harming isn't gatekeeping.

>>1239800 go back tourist

>>1239960 >alphabet soup clowns >normalfags no thats a whole different beast entirely.

>>1235670 Not really? At least not the circlejerk kind that existed on 4/vg/. There were threads that kind of acted like generals but weren't exactly generals, like Retro FPS and the UMPC threads. I can think of only a few actual generals; Minecraft (which is relatively recent for the board), AI general, AGDG, Rimworld, Blue Archive, Elona, and I think that's it? I might be forgetting a few but I think there were less than ten. The problem is 8/v/ is not 4/v/, it's much slower and has a radically different culture. Because it's so slow there's a very blurry line between a normal thread and a general. We had a TES thread that lasted two years, a Blue Archieve thread that lasted almost five. Neither were made as generals. Mark probably should have waited to see how many refugees would stay here instead of caving into the demands of newfags who might not even be around next week.

I forgot, but sometimes people would title their threads "[whatever] General" or "General [whatever] thread" even if it wasn't an established general. That would sometimes be used to denote a thread was literally for general discussion on a game or topic rather than the /vg/ style of general, as seen with the Kirby thread >>1085662 Again, issues with a different culture.

>>1239972 I was helping you to confirm an existence worse than normalfags. Your welcome.

So all this really accomplished was boot /gbvs/

>>1235072 >Community driven make a poll then? >>1235130 >bloodthirsty spergs destoyed by constant revolt

The issue with 4chan style generals from 4/vg/ is that the majority of them are just chatrooms. Generals running for thousands of threads and multiple years long depleted any quality discussion about their games. It's a glorified circlejerk between the same couple of dozen posters who know each other, sometimes by name through a discord, or by posting style. This type of generals should be banished because they clog up the catalog.

This is so fucking stupid >"We should make this place more like 4chan!" >"Think of the hecking refugees!!!" Fuck that, anyone that wants things to go back to what it was on 4chan just have bad intentions, acting like 8/v/'s generals are full of crazy people that need to be stopped You know what i saw in every general i visited until the migration? People talking about the game The only real problem with generals right now is that they might end up clogging the catalog, which is fair i guess I don't know why there's still talks about the IDs even, i saw the Dragon Ball general, the most schizophrenic thread /a/ has to offer, stop, panic and slow down to a fourth of its regular speed the moment ID's dropped and it's been like that since then, IDs fucking work, how is this even a question still?

>>1240394 don't worry bro we'll all go back tomorrow and you can stay in your 5 PPH shitty general board masquerading as /v/

>>1240394 It's almost like people in bad faith wanting this place to just become multiple ragebait and botshill threads just like cuckchan /v/ because it's "imageboard culture'

>>1234343 human nature, nothing is static

>>1240476 I think it's pretty bad faith to say anyone not wanting generals shitting up /v/ wants steamchart threads because you don't want your general thread moved.

the shartytard is back

>>1240474 How do the hell do you even miss that place, anon? >"Maybe it was a piece of shit site, but it was ours!" Not anymore anon, its the advertisers trashcan now, it's been proven jannies rule the site and the rest of the world treat it as the designated shitting street of the internet I can only guess you miss it because you were one of those 3

>>1240532 I do say in good faith, all the people complaining about "generals" never show what type of posts they want and mostly just cry to the winds because they can't post their shitposts.

So are XIV generals not allowed on this board anymore, or are the threads that hit post capacity just being moved to /vg/? Genuinely confused, because there has been a new active thread created here while the sticky was up and previous threads were moved.

>>1239986 I was wanting to see what would happen when general threads were actually allowed to live and die on their own myself when posting with the rest of the board. My assumption was that since they don't have to compete each thread with bots, samefags and mod-enabled schizo-spergs discussions would reach their conclusion naturally. >Mark probably should have waited to see how many refugees would stay here instead of caving into the demands of newfags who might not even be around next week. Problem is that for most of the fags complaining in the meta threads it's already too late to do something. Though personally I think a week was reasonable enough,though not an ideal amount of time, to get a feel of the new userbase and how they'd acclimate to the new board and culture as a grace period. Really even if only 10-20% of the fags stayed behind it would be fine if not ideal. Less staff is needed overall, original users(if most are even around at this point) wouldn't be so outnumbered and the board culture could be enforced more effectively without moderation intervention.Really if the faggots that go back are willing to put up with everything the moderation put them through do you really want to keep them around?

>>1239800 truth nuke

Can someone tell me how a AI general is related to video games

>>1240595 the first thing you need to understand about generals is that if left unchecked for long enough they completely suffocate a catalog. >"but why is this bad?" many reasons >people will simply ignore everything on the board and autolock onto their preferred generals. you get absolutely fucking zero interaction between the broader userbase, there is no board culture. >a format that demands constant engagement 24/7 to keep a general up with inevitably run dry of actual game to discuss and turn into a glorified chat room with the absolute worst kinds of posters, if the bad posters arent the ones keeping it alive in the first place. IT WILL HAPPEN HERE >niche games cannot gain any kind of foothold for occasional threads since they are buried behind 95% of the board being generals (and nobody will wade through that (dont lie we both know you wont)). games you would've learned about and loved you will no longer learn about and no longer love. >things like jiggie, friday night, and party van threads also fucked since potential new users to those threads are snipped. i can understand why 8/v/ users dont get it since they didnt see 4/v/ before 4/vg/ popped up. but trust me, there was a reason. and it is better to cut out the rot before it becomes an actual problem. plenty of game discussion still happened on 4/v/, the problem was that the tranjans refused to do their job and actually stamp out problems as they sprouted rather than let them grow into unmovable monuments to their laziness. but yes i do think that mark should've waited until 4chan came back up to see how many stayed before making such a change. good chance the problem groups just go back to /vg/

>>1240915 I agree with this, please get that shit off this board.

>>1240315 usually a 4/v/ thread should be a fresh topic of discussion. when some people wont shut up about a topic even if its not fresh anymore, they get sent to the containment board known as 4/vg/ these topics can be fresh again in a few months or years, but due to them existing in 4/vg/, they are doomed to never be made in 4/v/ again. its a horrid state of affairs.

>>1240014 >>1239986 I just want to point out >>1043639 (made in November) >>1240915 It was here way before the hack brought people in

>>1240915 >>1240968 You don't want to touch the dedicated street without amazon gift cards, if you know what I mean.

>>1240983 >when some people wont shut up about a topic even if its not fresh anymore, That's practically every game thread on 4/v/. Megaman threads and Metroid threads are a great example. Yet they always stayed on 4/v/.

>>1239800 This.

>>1240996 >It was here way before the hack brought people in And? it's still soulless slop that has nothing to do with the games >>1241000 You saying it's all indians? does that matter?

>>1241033 if you want poos coming for other threads with vengeance, you can touch it i dunno if it's worth it though

>>1241033 >And? It seems like it didn't cause any grief until now. "When in Rome"

>>1241048 Could just treat it like avatarfagging where if someones excessively doing it, remove the posts and ban them. if they avatarfag with ai pictures double ban them.

>>1241018 they aren't talking about the games they are sharing new nsfw pictures they found of samus and roll. they should be moved to /e/ not /vg/

>>1241076 bans don't work

>>1241085 >they aren't talking about the games they are sharing new Most of those threads don't even hit 80 images, it's mostly talk about the games and tuuuuuubes memes.

>>1241089 Delete the images then at least, it's practically spam.

>>1241103 Isn't it better to just contain it in a single thread at that point?

>>1241118 Why not just get rid of it? why allow that shit to be around in the first place? should we allow containment threads for every other type of rule breaking?

>>1241141 You either rangeban india or give them ai threads . You will get tired of manually banning everyone.

>>1241141 >AI Art / Stable Diffusion Thread #3 11/13/2022 >Why not Because it was around for 3 years I suppose.

>>1241146 You don't think they'd disperse if you told them to fuck off and knock that shit off?

>>1241214 Pests don't understand human language.

>>1231604 I kinda feel like it's a bad idea. The board doesn't seem THAT fast, I'm not sure it should be split up again when there's already /v/ and /vb/.

do the glasses look good on me ra

So when are you moving them because all the threads are still generals.
