****How to improve Sup Forums?****

Vote so we see what issue concerns the board the most.

Eliminate all flags. As much as I like the memes, all the flags do is derail discussion.

Some of you brought up the point that the geographic location of the poster is important when they're providing insight (I.e German talking about the german election).

Flags should be replaced with the country's name. The absence of the colorful box would prevent memes from derailing discussion as people are less likely to notice which country the user is from.

For example, instead of the blue and gold Swedish flag next to a Swedes ID, there would be a textbox with the word "Sweden"


While not eliminating the memes, it could surpress them as people are less likely to notice the geogrpahic location of the user, and now less likely to derail discussion.

Stop the larping.

bump

ideological flags pls. ban "Sup Forums btfo" please, 50 words atleast for OP

>try to kill the meme posting
>Sup Forums suddenly becomes irrelevant again

Good job breaking it (((friendo))).

Daily reminder anime forms part of this board's culture and has for a long time.

Remove the /leftypol/ mod

This

Expand the catalog, threads die to quickly

I don't understand why everyone here loves flags and IDs so much. They weren't even a thing until moot ruined the board with all the cuck shit, and the put IDs and flags to help "fix" the board. It's almost like it was all orchestrated to get the users to accept them.

People who say like "it prevents samefagging" or "it makes it easier to keep a conversation" are just wrong. Samefagging is always easy to identify even without IDs, and keeping a conversation was never a problerm without them, nor is it a problem on any other board.

Flags and IDs are the antithese of what this website is about, and it's a shame that many people here have come to accept them.

Change the new thread limit. You should only be allowed to make a new thread every 30 minutes.

When canadians shitpost the board up you can see like 8 threads all relating to the same thing at once.

Or just ban canadians all together.

Change 'Trump' into another word.

Ban all altright content.

Fucking ban that spanish faggot who makes /gommunizm/ generals every fucking day!!!!

THIS
JESUS DOES HE HAVE A LIFE?

...

1. Enforce Global rules and get finally rid of personal army faggotry, advertising streams and e-celebrity drama
2. Update and enforce the fucking sticky
3. Start relentlessly throwing bans at people for posting /r9k/-tier rants and social media screencaps of nobodies and meme garbage.
4. Make Geolocation flags OPTINIONAL and bring back the old ideology flags, keep IDs.
5. Give Sup Forums /vg/-style reply/image-reply/thread timers to lower the board traffic to a reasonable low.
6. Get some unbiased dedicated mod. I don't care if he's a token nazi just let anyone babysit this hellhole until shitposters, newfags and redditors lose the ambition to force their memes here.
7. Filter clickbait "news" sites like dailymail, the sun, kotaku etc. This crap belongs on Sup Forums.

Id's provide screenshot proof of samefagging. Also helps organize larp threads by op.

Flags help identify shills and proxy shills. For example any post that starts with Trump voter here....

Don't see a need to change.

If people have to wait 5 minutes after pressing post before getting a reply shitposting will die out. At least low quality shitposting will.

Yeah and reply counter should be higher than 350 I'd say around 400 would be much better longer discussions and ban one word replies.

what an amazing and original idea

You're still anonymous in every thread though, although I do agree that IDs don't help much for samefagging considering people can just phone post or proxy post.

>How to improve Sup Forums

Sell it to Martin Shkreli

Well for starters get rid of the libcuck mods

IDs do nothing.
Without IDs:
>sage for samefag
With IDs:
>nice proxy, sage for samefag
No feature will stop retards from being retarded.

This is pretty good.
Leave it to Germany to come up with good ideas, then have them completely ignored.

It's ignored because it's a repost

BUMP

x1000 this

How about by banning blatant shill keywords or actually having a non leftycuck mod who will do their fucking job??

Can we seriously get fucking optional flags again. Country flags fucking ruined shit and just turned this place into Sup Forums

Thoughts on top 5?

>strawpoll.me/12289270/r
>linking to the results page
Fucking moron biasing the results of the survey. Remove the /r from the end next time.

That too. One word or just image replies shouldn't be allowed.

Pretty much this it would better if there would dialog box with ideological and country flags too choose from.Of course it will make LARPING more prevalent but at least we will be able to see discussions differently without asking retard questions-How you know this shit you are a leaf?

Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and /k/ are responsible for turning every government into retards addicted to memes on the down-low.

This website has done so much damage its insane.

Remove Sup Forums, /k/, and Sup Forums and make memes bannable. Charge $1 to have the ban removed.

The site will finally be profitable and maybe it'll even be good one day.

This.
Especially number 6.
We need to remove all the reddit fags and their cross content post, just to get (yous).

bump

>remove /k/
Go fuck yourself it's a weapons board not a political meme board. Just because you don't like boards doesn't mean they should be removed, typical /qa/ poster mentality.

It's pretty funny how much moot influenced the world.

Also ban all posts where some retarded hot-shit said something about Trump.

Nobody cares what a tv-whore says about Trump, or at least should care.

Instead of hovering to show '1 post by this ID' it should be displayed more clearly. Also thread slide if OP only posts once. Hopefully it will cut down on the bait posts/threads.

>threads slide if OP posted once
is this a suggestion because the userbase here is too stupid to ignore bait threads?

bump

This

Non-democratic nations have been targeted America for over a decade. If it wasn't on Sup Forums they would have been doing it somewhere else.

>Within the United States itself, there is a need for the Russian special services and their allies “to provoke all forms of instability and separatism within the borders of the United States (it is possible to make use of the political forces of Afro-American racists)” (p. 248). “It is especially important,” Dugin adds, “to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics…” (p. 367).

Yes, newfags reply to bait too much.

I agree with everything but 7.

Flags are fun but I remember the old "idealogy" flags.

Also ban blog-tier posts and those fucking bogpill threads.

I could care less if Leftys have their own communist general threads. If they want to have them fine, doesn't stop people from shitposting in there.

The problems with this place right now is all the threads being made by leftist

You can tell which thread was made by a leftist by these signs

Also "sips tea"

The top one is completely pointless. That's just people who are easily triggered talking. If you ban specific phrases like that then the shills are just going to find another phrase to use, or another way to trigger people. I don't see how that ban would change anything.

Same thing goes for the 50 character requirement and /r9k/ word filter. If you have spent any amount of time in /r9k/ you would know that people just add gibberish to their posts to circumvent the robot. Banning porn posters and OPs who pump and dump threads (1 post by this ID) would actually be fairly productive. I don't think adding ideological flags would really do much, because people will just purposefully misidentify and you can usually tell where someone is coming from pretty quickly anyways.

Another thing we absolutely need to become more aware of, though this is more of a self moderation thing than rule imposition. is reddit spacing. Not only does it look stupid to anyone who knows how to form a paragraph, but it's also a glaring red flag. It shows that someone hasn't spent much time on Sup Forums, and that they likely immigrated from plebbit. Ignore people who reddit space. See:
OP can't bump his own thread more than 3 or 4 times. You're on number 8, you're just spamming your own thread for no purpose at this point.

Ban pictures of frogs and the word pepe.

Oh yeah, those bait threads are fucking stupid.

I don't even think it's CTR shilling either. It's a slide thread or a troll thread to get (You)'s.

It's a troll thread at best and a CTR thread at worst.

Back in 2013 the version of that was "Thoughts?" with a single image with some stupid fucking borderline non political related question.

Wordfilters might be good. Other than that I think just having more moderation and non-cucked mods/janitors will help things the most. Perhaps if flags were optional sort of like the vip logo it would remove the Sup Forums-tier shitposting, I personally find it hilarious though. The optional flag thing might be a compromise between both beliefs.

The best offered solutions are 30 minute thread creation timers and thread sliding if the OP only posts once.

Really? I have found that I can bump it as long as I don't directly post after I've already posted

Some of the best content on Sup Forums comes from the "general" threads.

Trumpgen and Syriagen immediately come to mind.

This
and this too

Sup Forums is perfect as is

...

Make it BLUE for fuck sake, why can't a board about politics be a BLUE fucking board?
Discussion would improve by a magnitude.

Currently? Far from it.

Oh look. Shareblue/leddit's left cried so fucking hard and long on /qa/ that Hiroshimoot has created a fucking astroturfing cry thread on Sup Forums for the left to spam demands in removing flags, IDs, right-leaning news sites, and anything pro-national.

The lefty-pol mod needs to fucking go ASAP.

#5 is fucking bullshit. Flags have given us an idea of whom is trying to sway opinions or shitposting about topics they have no part of. Flags HAVE to stay.

This.

>Make the board blue
>Ban porn posters
>Warning then a ban for porn-related images (blacked crops)
>Warning then a ban for anyone replying to porn posters
>Ban for larping or posting false news (like an edited CNN url or pretending to greentext an article that doesn't exist)
>Ban for "Sup Forums btfo" "rural retards" and other copypasta spam, unless it's done ironically.

I report dozens of threads a week and these simple rules will double the quality of the board.

Delete trump thread spam and keep it in the trump general thread. Unless it's something important and not just whatever he decides to tweet.

>Make it BLUE for fuck sake, why can't a board about politics be a BLUE fucking board?

hello newfag

Anyone can proxy from any country with a VPN + pass. In fact, it's more likely to be abused by paid shills who have the funds to do this.

Fuck off

Also This.
The bait threads are getting out of control, and all the newfags are puting them right on the top, while contributing to the decline of Sup Forums.

Uh, the problem is that it's done ironically to the point of sliding other htreads.

If you remove/k/ they will remove you faggot. Don't even mention/k/. This is for improving/pol/.

Ban posting for all mobile users.

#WhoCares

Typical leftist shit. "More regulation will make it a safe space!"

GTFO back to Tublr

I got a ban for replying to a "mother dies" post and never replied again. It made me realize banning bumpers works better than just banning the offenders.
Fair point. I was really referring threads like the occasionally "hilldawg" meme thread or "hand over the delegates" that's created in good humor nowadays.

END ALL WMAF THREADS

I like this a lot.

This and absolutely this.

I remember some years ago that the hot button pump and dump thread word of the day was "Thoughts?" or "If A is B, then what about C? Checkmate D"

That "stormweenie" poster would also constantly come here right around noon PST. Literally like clockwork every day.

Like you said, bannping certain phrases wouldn't do shit, but quality threads like Trump general and Syria general need to be encouraged while bait and/or slide threads need to be more easily weeded out.

Honestly people should just stop replying to slide threads. Not even sage, just don't reply. ESPECIALLY if it's personal blog or blatantly not politics related.

The memes is what makes the board culture and what has spread the consensus of ideology from here to other places but when you get shit like bogpill threads getting spammed then it becomes irritating, stupid, and forced.

t. meme poster

this

The real issue is that some of them are actually funny.

Like I said, at best these are troll threads, and at worst they're slide threads.

People should create threads that are politics related, but within those threads they don't necessarily have to be politics related.

Basically moderate more created threads and less of what goes on within the threads.

Animeposting is Sup Forums's heritage and the birthright of every Sup Forumsack! Stand with anime! Do not let this reddit refugees and immigrants decide our culture!

>this, absolutely this
Fuck off

This conflicts with what is suggested hereBanning bumpers works better imo

This

>I got a ban for replying to a "mother dies" post and never replied again.
Hm, that does not sound too bad either.
But my concern is that there is a (small group) who posts bait threads over and over, so by removing them it would render their """content""" to a minimum.

At the end of the day I only want to see the rules enforced and not be bombarded with:
> Sup Forums btfo -- *shows only a screenshot*
> *sips tea*
> how can ____ even compete
> cross posts from reddit
> talks about activity on reddit and current drama
> etc.

Can I get a quick rundown on this awoo?

specially number 1. Fuck off with the celeb drama, it has nothing to do here, just ban the retards

Increase constant occupation of to stop them from shutting us down every time we're up to something interesting.

>1 post by this ID
Why don't you give a reasoning for why you disagree instead of being a faggot about it?

Honestly if people wanna shitpost or post something that's funny/memes/whatever then they can do so in a thread that's relevant to it.

Like I said moderate created threads and less of what is in the threads. This way shitty bait threads don't get created but people can still post their dumb ted cruz deleghates memes in a thread that's somewhat relevant to it.

stfu, without them you can only have autistic conversations without knowing who is taling REEEEEEEE. Maybe they could remove the flags, but i prefere them because you can detect the niggers and kikkes

Just delete /qa/

Keep the flags REEEEEEEEEE

Just stop stopping threads for no good reason. Allow SS shitposters to have their threads back.

Kill all Jews niggers and kebab.

Also fingerprint locked personal accounts

that way only those who got the balls can post

Why the fuck would you remove the "Sup Forums btfo" threads? Challenging the hivemind is what stops this place from becoming Reddit. Fuck Sup Forums. The triggering fuels the memes, the natural progression of conversation is great, the circlejerk can take place elsewhere.

obv block phone posting so bans actually mean something
