Sup Forums has been packed with FAR more off-topic threads than usual since the election ended, and the mods are doing nothing about it.
Here is a list of off-topic/non-political threads that are currently in the catalog:
Most of these threads will reach the reply limit before they are finally pruned. Mods aren't deleting off-topic threads. Whether they are complicit or just lazy, they are not doing their job.
What can we do to help bring quality moderation to this board? Reporting does nothing.
Jaxon Green
Yep. Meanwhile they delete stuff that is actually politically incorrect.
This board is Sup Forums + Sup Forums.
Oh, and get ready to be banned for supposed repeated abuse from your area or maybe if they're dealing even more fucking gay they'll ban you for supposedly uploading copyrighted images.

i fucking knew it. there's a raid ongoing, isn't it
fucking hell. see ya tomorrow, friends.
Jonathan Moore
I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices it. You know of anywhere else that's not so kiked up?
Evan Wilson
Here's a few more that have popped up since making this thread:
Aaron Kelly
It's not a raid.
Mods and janitors have been actively trying to ruin this board for months now. I'm convinced many of the janitors are women and liberals
Aaron Gomez
4+4 pol I guess, although moderation there is actually too strict, pretty much censorship
Christopher Butler
Stupid frogposter lol
Justin Taylor
I agree, and there aren't nearly enough threads discussing how to eliminate the like menace once and for all
Matthew Gray
And a few more new ones.
Oliver Anderson
Fuck all that
The very WORST offense is the pornography. Im tired of the all out assault. I pray Trump goes extreme and makes porno ILLEGAL
Jackson Campbell
pls no bully, I am nice to animeposters
Jack Moore
The mods need to crack down on Sup Forums tier threads. We're basically indistinguishable from them at this point.
Christopher Clark
Idk, the volume of off-topic threads is so high that its possible there is a concentrated effort to subvert the board and interrupt "meme magic" techniques etc. that helped influence the election
But you are right, its also possible that it is simply the mods/jannies neglecting their duty on purpose. Perhaps a combination of both
Andrew Brooks
>More FBI info on Hillary comes out >Massive increase in spam and shitposts on Sup Forums
Pure coincidence.
Asher Edwards
Sup Forums has been fucking boring today
Grayson Nelson
most of these threads aren't shilling. Just bait and or actual retards reverse trolling. Problem is when the place is flooded with actual idiots thanks to the election, its indistinguishable
Angel Murphy
>ban you for supposedly uploading copyrighted images. huh
Nicholas Lee
Sort the catalog by "Creation Date" and watch how quickly and frequently these threads are created, it is ridiculous
Jonathan Mitchell
I fully agree, OP, the mods are completely FUCKING UP THE BOARD WITH THEIR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE BOARD RULES.
Seriously, Sup Forums, you could be really great, but if you don't start policing yourselves and holding each other accountable by only replying to relevant boards, and reporting the non-political ones (which violate the board rules to be political), then we're just going to see more Sup Forums and Reddit-tier shitposting degrading the quality of discussions going on here.
WAKE THE FUCK UP, MODS. WAKE THE FUCK UP, PEOPLE.
Chase Sanders
Sup Forums has been overrun thanks to the election. self-policing won't work with the frequency of new threads coming in, up to mods and jannies to do it and since the mods and jannies dont give a shit anymore, I think it's time to leak out
Robert Reyes
Unfortunately, people will always post in off-topic threads. People can't help but respond to threads that capture their interest, even if they were posted on the wrong board.
It should not be up to the users but the moderators to police the board and remove off-topic threads.
Samuel Mitchell
How can you fuck somebody who isn't even on this board ?
Moderation has been lax on much of this site for the past day now. Are they in IRC planning something with Hiro or what?
Ayden Price
The reason for this is because mods constantly delete the actual important operation threads >/ewo/ >fire safety >sarahs scribbles (at least for the first 2 days)
There are probably many others too but I have probably just missed them. The mods and other boards have utter contempt for this board as can be seen in /qa/. And it doesn't help now that we have hiroshijew who doesn't do shit for improving Sup Forums, just actively tries to jew its users out of money like he did with 2ch.
And then on top of all of this, we get an influx of plebbit fuckers who just all around shit up the board. I don't know what we are to do about all of this.
Lucas Gutierrez
From the FUCKING STICKY:
>Off-topic and Sup Forums-tier threads will be deleted (and possibly earn you a ban, if you persist). Unless they are quality, well thought out, well written posts, the following are examples of off-topic and/or Sup Forums-tier threads:
>Red pill me on X. (with no extra content or input of your own) >Are X white? >Is X degeneracy? >How come X girls love Y guys so much? >If X is true, then how come Y? Checkmate Z.
>The variety of threads allowed here are very flexible and we believe in freedom of speech, but we expect a high level of discourse befitting of the board. Attempts to disrupt the board will not be tolerated, nor will calls to disrupt other boards and sites.
They should probably change that since it obviously is no longer true.
Jackson Green
>Slid Have you considered the possibility that it's just autistic people trying to troll, and not a grand conspiracy? Is Sup Forums getting slid by paid shills with BLACKED and Braapposting?
Jason Morales
Sup Forums gets the most moderation attention when that happens while we have to wait hours before the jannies show up and do their jobs.
Bentley Cooper
I agree with this, it's time to either leak out or something. What can we even do about it if mods aren't doing their jobs.
Dylan Davis
BLACKED spamming is basically viral advertising, so yes.
Adam Campbell
I don't think Hiro gives a single fuck about American politics or the Sup Forums community. He is just trying to squeeze every last cent he can out of the site (even though he is probably still running at a loss, like moot was).
If you've used the mobile site recently, then you have noticed that it is PACKED with intrusive ads and sometimes pop-up and pop-under ads.
It seems he can't be assed to actually improve the quality of the site at the same time.
Camden Perry
Sup Forums grew about 5x its normal size in the last 6 months. We are experiencing what are called massive growing pains. We are basically in the worst part of puberty right now if this board were a human life.
Just imagine our power once we reach adulthood though m8.
Jackson Watson
I've been considering going back to GameFAQs until looked at the other boards outside of vidya boards and realized it was Reddit-lite at this point
Aaron Mitchell
What is there to improve? I already think Sup Forums is the best possible place to discuss world topics with people in a frank/blunt manner on the entire internet. The ads suck I agree, though.
Juan Smith
I use slid in the loosest way. If you read the thread you will see that we consider the possibility that it is a concentrated effort, but also that it is likely just purposely poor moderation on part of the mods/jannies.
All possibilities must be considered. It definitely seems strange that it has suddenly gotten so much worse since after the election. It wasn't even this bad before the election cycle started, either.
Jordan Barnes
Keep in mind that we are the biggest non-Sup Forums board, getting ever closer to the size of Sup Forums-which is almost too large to be moderated and will have CP up for 10+ minutes before being deleted
Part of the problem is Sup Forumss size, the other part is the jannies absolute disdain for Sup Forums because of all the trouble we cause for them and in general
>tfw 2 smart to join the dignity bloc and fill out a jannie application to clean up this town
Tyler Taylor
we feel your feels, fool
Hudson Sullivan
Why do people bother with Sup Forums? I have been on this fucking website since 2011, and not once have I been a regular browser of Sup Forums. It's always, ALWAYS, been full of porn, get threads, shitty memes, and disgusting pictures.
Maybe there are decent threads worth browsing, but I can count on my hands the amount of Sup Forums threads that have drawn me in for a full read. /x/ has better content than fucking Sup Forums, yet so many of you browse it. I do not understand. I am not even that old.
Easton Martinez
Well he should take notice when one of the largest boards has turned into a glorified Sup Forums. Even Sup Forums, one of the largest and shittiest boards, gets strict moderation.
Moot was more involved with the site and community than Hiro ever was (even toward the end when moot paid less attention to the site).
Aaron Murphy
Sup Forums has worst jannies
Gavin Cruz
>already the second largest board including Sup Forums before the election >nearly double in size during the election >after the election keep growing
theres a reason why Sup Forums and Sup Forums are constantly butthurt and telling people to go back to Sup Forums, theres like a 1 in 3 chance a poster on any other board is also a Sup Forumslack.
we own this place now
Isaac Perez
its purpose is to serve as a newfag buffer, then this election happened and Sup Forums became the newfag buffer
Caleb Perry
>It's always, ALWAYS, been full of porn
It actually hasn't always been full of porn. Moot himself has attested to this fact, and has complained that Sup Forums used to be a far better and more fun place before porn posters ruined it.
William Lewis
...
Jason Russell
Just for reference to the newfags: >CNN gets roughly 1.3 million views a day, that number falling every single day >FOX news gets around 2 million >NBC gets around 1.6 million >MSNBC gets around 800k
>Sup Forums gets around 3.6 million *UNIQUE* views per day >That means it isn't some fucking tv at an air port or a gym turned on for people to casually glance at, it's full-blown autists coming here for some real, quality discussion on world politics >We are the news now
James Gutierrez
Been noticing that Sup Forums is getting political threads lately. Are my fellow newfags just bumfuck retarded? Probably.
Aiden Davis
its reddit 2.0 now
only good threads that have happened there in the last 4 years were when hungergames moved there after they started getting banned by one of the Sup Forums jannies
Sup Forums is advanced old Sup Forums+politics
think about it >most people here started on Sup Forums >love of trolling >raids and skewing polls all the time >excessive racism for fun or serious >meme culture and development >still have a bunch of anime and trapposters
Sup Forums is where the aging early generation of Sup Forumstards went when they grew up, and thats why this place is more fun and familiar than all the other boards
Samuel Richardson
Maybe in 2008, long before I showed up. When I started browsing here, all blatantly off-topic posts were met with a
>back to Sup Forums spam. Now everything is >back to Sup Forums As if we are the hotspot of shitty posts. Sorry we are busy exposing an international pedophile ring, reading through and cataloging Hillary's emails, memeing Trump into office, and finally figuring out just who and who is not white.
Evan Garcia
Some more new off-topic threads:
Jason Harris
i wish there wasnt any cooldown between reports honestly
Brayden Davis
just hide them
Juan Phillips
>tfw there were more people reading Trumpnightlynews on one thread in the catalog than MSNBC during the election
Logan Carter
most of the times you get told to go back to Sup Forums for simply saying fag or nigger in any context
Charles Jones
>months You mean years.
Gavin Nelson
Sup Forums and Sup Forums will ban you for saying fag or nigger
Sup Forums banned me for this not all that long ago >pic related
Don't know why this new generation has such fucking thin skin, or why the mods indulge them
Kayden Wood
well, to be fair the >Will Trump get a whitehouse dog?
would be somewhat on topic if everyone didn't already know about Patton the puppy
Leo Johnson
Because Sup Forums is going full commercial soon. So they're "cleaning up" for advertisers. But they can't do it all at once so they're going incremental.
Thomas Powell
When I used to use Sup Forums, it was pretty much solely for the hunger games threads. And was only fun for a couple months.
Nicholas Nelson
Yes there are a few of those threads that are close enough to being on-topic that only a nazi would delete them, however I am including them for the sake of illustrating the state of the board.
Hudson Bailey
It's January. No happenings are happening, and it's dead.
Most of the media and shit were on vacation for the last three weeks, so there isn't much to talk about except muh feelings and the odd mass shooter, suicide or bomb attack. But those happen so frequently, we're kinda used to it at this point.
Nathaniel Kelly
>Because Sup Forums is going full commercial soon. So they're "cleaning up" for advertisers.
Do they not get enough money from ona-hole and that one t-shirt company?
also >hiro hasn't realized that %99.95 of people who come here use adblock religiously
i thought asians were supposed to be smart?
Ethan Williams
I'm coming here less and less. Just edgy teens that take obvious bait.
>*Sips tea* >QUADS I SHOOT MY PC HUEHUE >How can white Bois compete >IQS >WHATS POLS OPINION ON >DRUMPF BTFO
Wyatt Garcia
Yeah i started .y degeneracy on Sup Forums years ago and once it started to disgust me (not the gore, the lack of gore ) i moved to Sup Forums because nigger is a marvelous word
Nolan Butler
An equivalent would be going on /k/ and asking "are shotguns a gun", or going on on /an/ and asking "will fish swim tomorrow".
Gabriel Perez
buy a Sup Forums pass gaijin, then you can post on /vip/ and vote in polls that can affect Sup Forums
Kayden Rivera
I miss all of the Rhodesia and SA threads
Henry Russell
They are from r/thedonald. They don't know how this place works and they don't SAGE. They think the bait is real
Henry Fisher
it never happened to me when saying nigger or fag
happens everytime you say degenerate though
Christian Russell
Many of the pictures from the frappe Bing at least will give you an auto ban if you attempt to post it. This can be averted by changing one pixel: I haven't seen it in anything else but they can do it.
Aiden Stewart
I still like one every now and then
most people here started on Sup Forums and just had different migration times or transition periods through Sup Forums, Sup Forums, or Sup Forums
I seriously having a hard time going to any of my old main boards they are all such fags now, Sup Forums has to be the worst on multiple levels
Nah, the rest of them are straight up classic off topic slide threads. So is the dog one mostly but i have a permanent soft spot for anything involving Trump now
Nicholas Wright
>It's January. No happenings are happening, and it's dead.
There is still plenty to discuss in regards to politics. Luckily threads like Trump general and Britpol general foster some sort of political discussion.
On-topic shitposting and trolling is fine to, as it still starts discussions.
For example, there are communism/anti-fa generals that are clearly intended to troll Sup Forums users, but still have plenty of discourse.
Cameron Lopez
every time in the past mods tried to cut down on shitposting your fucks throw a shit fit and raid all the other boards.
i wish Sup Forums would get a fascist mod that would rule with an ironfist.
Blake Kelly
bump cuz fuck the shill mods
Julian Jenkins
you want moderation? go to 8/pol
Austin Thompson
> I don't know what we are to do about all of this.
Fucking fight and take your board back
Aiden Jones
>So many dogshit threads I can't even muster the energy to report and sage them all
Is this how they win? Fatigue from wading through all their shit without janitors cleaning it up?
Leo Turner
>*Sips tea* >WHATS POLS OPINION ON >DRUMPF BTFO
These troll threads are honestly fine because even people who fall for the bait are at least talking about politics.
The worst threads are the ones related to porn and angry /r9k/ betas bitching about "degeneracy".
Eli Howard
Moderation must really be nonexistant here. They're not even banning anyone for talking shit about them.
Come back hotpockets! How have we wronged you?
Henry Brown
>every time in the past mods tried to cut down on free speech you fucks throw a shit fit and raid all the other boards.
We don't raid other boards, we are the other boards as well as this one. You are obsessed with us. A thread can't reach bump limit before someone inevitably mentions Sup Forums
Chase Green
how
Kayden Sanders
>I don't know what we are to do about all of this. Pretend like everything is normal and hope that it goes away eventually. The attention Sup Forums got from the election isn't going to go away anytime soon though.
Nathan Reyes
don't forgot our newest immigrants, the spencer babbies
I don't even know quite how to classify their autism yet, basically R/theDonald except anti-Trump and only go to pro-Trump threads to complain and throw autistic shitfits if anyone insults trs or spencer
James Foster
nice try, Hiro
Nicholas Davis
Except the OP doesn't add anything in the original post and 99 time out of a 100 it's just shit posting.
Political discussion doesn't happen anymore.
William Cox
Inb4 This thread is deltete
Tyler Lopez
>Nah, the rest of them are straight up classic off topic slide threads. So is the dog one mostly but i have a permanent soft spot for anything involving Trump now
Idk, there has to be at least a little bit of room for slightly off-topic threads, otherwise "board culture" wouldn't be able to flourish.
Hudson Brown
I think we'll hit the bump limit tonight. We might be dealing with a lowkey Sup Forums harbor until the mods come back.
Julian Russell
The worst are the Sup Forums threads. Why make that board if they are just going to let them fuck up this one too
Adrian Parker
The number of Sup Forums users who visit both Sup Forums and other boards regularly is FAR greater than the number of users who only visit non-pol boards.
Robert Martin
thats true
I can understand why moderation is hard on here, theres a fine line between a shit thread and passable one
Mason Green
It has always had porn though. Definitely not full of it as it is today.
Evan Bailey
Direct people to the FBI docs threads: > > > > >
Blake Edwards
Yeah, /pol became popular because of the election. All the shit posting newbs are just hanging around posting garbage. Most of the real people are away.
Just watch. It will bounce back when something interesting actually happens, worth talking about. We've talked about politics, Trump and Brit pol for months, and Trump isn't president yet. Brexit hasn't happened yet.
It's January. Nothing interesting happens in January, although markets may start to dive at some point soon.
But without an actual "happening" in the sleepy month, no one is here.
Eli Anderson
The mods are here. You can tell because some of the threads are still deleted immediately all the while an off topic thread right next to it is left up.they are actively destroying this board
Adam Gray
there is a "pics you shouldn't share" up every single hour of every single day on Sup Forums now with the same exact pictures saved by 1000 anons posted on repeat
I don't even know how they have fallen as far as they have
Nolan Collins
I ended up with a 1 hour long report cooldown because of last night's invasion. Would you guys be a dear and report this garbage for me?
Ian Nelson
All you have to do is post links the the thread that's being slid.
Jordan Flores
pol has been getting lamer lately..
Lucas Sanchez
Sup Forums is the same 10-20 threads over and over and over and over and over again. And somehow they never get tired of it
Nicholas Bell
>Yeah, /pol became popular because of the election
Sup Forums already was the second largest board before Sup Forums harbor
and theres been a shooting and two terrorist attacks this week
and we still have at least 1.5 the traffic of the next largest board after us consistently every day
