we are allowed to have one thread concerning the current state of this board.
this thread for discussion of the circumstances of this board, if we should change them, and if so, how
my suggestion is to add >[...] BTFO!! to the list of "Sup Forums-tier threads" on the sticky. all of these threads have no content at all, and are often made just to bait some easy replies.
how do you think we can improve the state of Sup Forums?
Christopher Garcia
>how do you think we can improve the state of Sup Forums? Enforcing the current rules is enough.
Jeremiah Miller
THIS IS CLEARLY NEEDED!! Also agree with OP.
Caleb Peterson
We need more Jews and blacks
Matthew Jackson
And not enforcing rules that don't exist. Mods should lose mod privileges if they give out egregious bans. "Pedo bullshit" is not against the rules.
Zachary Scott
this might ofcourse just be subjective, but in my expierence things haven't gotten much better over time. do you mean to say by that that the current rules aren't being enforced?
Hunter Ward
Give the OP of any thread a special ID or mark by which he is easily recognized further down in the thread without having to go back and highlight his posts.
Lincoln Fisher
those shitty map/game threads should be banned, the pixel reddit thing, hwndu. all are rddit-teir shit and not politics.
Isaiah Mitchell
I don't like the risk & hunger games threads either but they've been part of Sup Forums culture for years
Joshua Morgan
The problem is overenforcement, mods banning for things they don't like.
Isaiah Green
Risk threads have been around since the beginning. They're also fun..
Juan Lopez
i think /qa/ is more fit for that suggestion, as it would be beneficial to all boards that have ID's enabled
i like this suggestion as well, though an alternative might be required in order to prevent people from creating these threads on Sup Forums
Dominic Perry
Kek
Colton Russell
You don't like risk threads ignore them like I do. They cool
Nicholas Jenkins
They are fun, lets keep em
Dominic Mitchell
what did you post? pedophilia is obviously against the rules.
ban evasion is against the rules as well.
Jason Hughes
They cant keep getting away with this.
Brody Martin
Yeah, but sometimes the rules need to broken.
Usually not of course.
Christopher Powell
Banning phoneposters, people with cookies from cuckchan and plebbit, filtering HAHAHAHAHA/BTFO threads, and enforcing the current rules. Another major problem is that sometimes mods won't do shit for fucking days and off-topic threads will hit bump limit over and over yet sometimes they'll just randomly be in a board and delete a random off-topic post and everyone that responded to them. They're hugely inconsistent and this goes for every single mod on this website. We need new mods that actually do their fucking jobs long enough for there to be a change in the board culture.
Hunter Cook
...
Kevin Adams
how do we stop the shills?
Blake Wood
No more twitter threads please
Jordan Hill
Enforce 75 characters minimum for threads
Kevin Moore
Fuck off. Phone posters are the future.
Cooper Sanchez
By having mods that aren't KIKES
Eli Flores
Wasn't /qa/ frozen after the /mlpol/ invasion?
Gavin Sanchez
>pedophilia is obviously against the rules. Which one? Quote me that rule. >what did you post? Fuck, I don't know, just usually talking about little girls and how sex with little girls should be legal and posting pictutes(nothing sexual of course). >ban evasion is against the rules as well They give out unwarranted bans then wonder why they're evaded. "Idiot pedophile" is probably one of my favorite ban reasons. The mods have been subverted.
Benjamin Lopez
The mimi app does this
Nolan Rogers
>Banning phoneposters >not posting on Sup Forums while sitting on a river This would be perfect except for the bugs.
Landon Campbell
We can descuss homesteading and land development. The leftys don't like property or self sufficientcy.
Caleb Parker
You're only saying that because you're a phoneposter. The majority of the activity comes from phoneposters and it started around 2012. Before that there were like 5-10% of posters. It's because of plebbit and the normies. Phoneposters have increased about 5-8 times in size and are equal if not greater than desktop posters. It's a major issue.
Justin Mitchell
making exceptions makes it easier for people to wiggle in room for shitposting and generally degrading the quality of a board
Global rule 1: >You will not upload, post, discuss, request, or link to anything that violates local or United States law
>remove you's. >ban the fucks who create duplicate threads immediately after one is created.
Hudson Ramirez
you might be correct, I rarely go to /qa/
Bentley Hill
>how do you think we can improve the state of Sup Forums?
Get rid of the ongoing Trump general thread.
When disagreeing with someone, if they call you a shill, jidf, Hillary blue etc. they are banned for 3 days.
Ethan Cooper
Ned flanders
Ethan Allen
So why aren't threads discussing drug legalization deleted? Talking about how hot little girls are is not illegal, advocating for changes to the law to make sex with them allowed is not illegal.
Ian Allen
>phoneposting
Jaxon Flores
kek Anyone remember these?
Ryder Perez
You are discussing pedophilia, pedophilia doesn't concern Sup Forums and above that pedophilia violates US law, thus breaking global rule 1
The discussion of drug legalisation DOES concern Sup Forums, drug legalisation is a large political issue.
Apples and oranges
Juan Jenkins
It seems frozen. Mods probably became tired of the entire board begging to bring /mlpol/ back.
Benjamin James
>discussing fixing one law is Sup Forums >discussing changes to another law isn't You're retarded. The legal and social issues around pedophilia aren't political?
Connor Carter
>discussing fixing one law is Sup Forums >discussing changes to another law isn't This is just removing important context and oversimplifying it so that it looks like you have some form of a valid argument
I'm the retarded one?
Kayden Barnes
You're the one doesn't have a valid argument. If we cabt discuss unpopular political views whats the point? >removing important context What context?
Nathan Perry
I actually fell for that trap on Sup Forums back in 2007. They baited you into typing in html or something which resulted in an autoban
Noah Reyes
>Mods enforce rules already in place >Users stops bumping obvious shit threads, no matter how tempting >Stop calling everyone a shill (or any other boogeyman) because they disagree >To the newfags here, learn that sage has an actual purpose, it's not just something you comment when you disagree >Make a board /polgen/ or some shit like that, like how Vidya has a Vidya general
Aaron Bell
>how do you think we can improve the state of Sup Forums?
Ban Canada.
Not joking.
Ian Bennett
>apples to oranges except not. Pedophilia is actually a political issue just as being gay or transgender is. The only problem I can see a mod having is if you post pictures of young girls "modelling" which provides absolutely nothing to the conversation and is just there to make people sperg out. It also doesn't help that the mods do not to even risk more cp issues like we had in the past.
Brody Rodriguez
Remove the fucking flags, they were the worst thing to happen to Sup Forums
Brandon Stewart
Spotted the shill. Hey buddy, if you don't want to be called a shill, how about you stop spamming shitty memes with nothing but X BTFO and actually form a point and back it up with facts and logic?
Blake White
I would say that, but it's interesting to know you're talking to people in other countries. It's only a problem because of the quality of our userbase for the past couple years kek.
It would be nice if we could all just be Texans, JIDF, and Nazi's again though
Jason Nelson
Just enforce current rules:
No porn shit or other illegal content
People here have been talking about how pol is being "invaded" by shit like the Donald or communism boards etc, but who cares?
Really, Sup Forums/pol is a place where you are meant to be challenged. If people want to shill they actually need decent arguments for it to work, which they lack.
Most people here are so used to filtering out shit content and arguments that we forgot why we are so good at doing just that. The reason we actually are able to spot shills and "fake news" so often is because we basically live in shit.
If we remove the shit then our immunisation to shit will probably go too.
The shitposting and shilling is good, it makes us stronk. If we start banning other opinions we lose that, we go into our own bubble just like the faggots on reddit.
Nathaniel Baker
You know goddamn well you could bring all the facts you want and get called a shill here. Don't be silly just because you love your Trump general.
Nolan Peterson
You can just click "highlight posts with this ID" at the start of the thread.
Gabriel Anderson
>if you post pictures of young girls "modelling" which provides absolutely nothing to the conversation It's an IMAGEboard, you talking about something you'll post pictures of it. Talking about guns you post pictures of guns, talking about girls you post pictures of girls. As long as it isn't flooding with pictures and is just accompanying discussion it should be fine. Fuck, one time I got banned for posting a picture of Princess Leonor in a thread she was somehow related to.
Easton Murphy
The mods have been replaced by redditors and other people with that mindset, they are letting this place burn on purpose.
Alexander Cruz
I agree, just bring back those flags
Isaac Powell
The only problem with flags is when you're using a VPN people will assume your flag is where you are.
Levi Rogers
If your post holds validity then people will absorb that information. Sure, you might get called a shill, commie or cuck by 1-2 people, but your opinion was noticed non the less.
Gabriel Nguyen
Keep out the fucking commies.
Isaiah Peterson
Your board is stupid. It's the online equilvalent on pimply 13 year-olds sitting around their middle school cafeteria table arguing about which bands are poseurs, complaining about how the "normies" just aren't as plugged in as you. Right down to your stupid inside jokes. Truth is though, your not plugged in. You're just angry losers who believe their own bullshit. And BTW, your chaos god BS is the stupidest thing ever.
Carson Cruz
You probably could, but that doesn't mean you won't be engaged by someone else. I only call people shills when they do that stupid shit I outlined and post shitty false disinfo and terrible memes and go all holier than thou in their post, which doesn't welcome discussion in the slightest.
John Green
No obvious b8 threads. 75 character minimum. No "how does x even compete" "redpill me on x" etc.
Enforce the fuckin rules, just like America we already have good rules in place people just need to follow them
Isaiah Sanchez
Far simpler
Ayden Hernandez
I love flags. They would be even better if you could believe them most of the time.
I agree that they lead to a lot of shitposting, but I think overall they help. When I'm on a board without flags, I always assume the retarded posts are americans, so it would be nice to see that maybe they are not.
And as for other boards, I don't go to them much, but I used to like /diy/ and /ck/, but they seem to be chock full of 14 year old comedians who think "unzips dick" is the height of creative posting. Maybe I'm just used to it, but Sup Forums seems pretty mature compared to them.
Eli Cox
I mean that's why I don't give a fuck anymore though. We're returning. For a while there, if you got called a shill, everyone just followed suit and you got no discussion.
Been called CTR, Shareblue, and all that other shit. At least JIDF had some mild irony to it. There are people on here right now that truly believe in the online boogeyman paid shills.
That means you're at least rational, user. That makes sense. Like I said to user above, for a while it didn't fucking matter because everyone was convinced CTR was legit during the election cycle. Looking back, it is the only pathetic and dark part of the board in that glorious election ride
Jason Young
>Princess Leonor The mods really don't care enough. Moot ran into a shit ton of trouble constantly and bitched to the mods about cp. If you cannot comprehend why there's a huge stigma and harsh punishment for it then that's your fault and you're probably a newfag. Here's a fun fact, jailbait or any minors of questionable age in a sexual picture is not allowed whatsoever on this website.
"In case it isn't completely evident, we'll spell it out for you:
Do NOT post threads / images about "teens", "young girls", "jailbait", "questionable age", or anything that could be construed as advocating pornography involving minors.
This rule also applies to Sup Forums. Don't take it there, don't even recommend that people post that shit there. We don't want it anywhere on this site."
Was that a tripfag or something? I've never actually gotten tricked into typing a banned word
Liam Hall
They overenforce rules that don't exist, while not enforcing the ones that do
Easy example is how fast they are to delete any Shia LaBeuf thread, while allowing half the board to be bots and "how can white man even compete" and other shit like that.
Adrian Cox
I miss my nazi flag.
But Id miss discriminating against canadians more
Mason Gonzalez
gtfo shill
Jayden Lewis
Your main problem is actually taking this shit seriously. Anyone who does is dangerously stupid
Jason Morales
> >We need more Jews and blacks We have plenty
Jason Fisher
migrate to cripple chan if you want actual discussion
Oliver Nguyen
As said in a few posts above, if we just fucking ban X BTFO, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH, Whoa......., Dash posts where they set up a strawman and cut it off like it just got btfo, etc., It would make this place not Sup Forums 2.0.
Another thread that actually has potential is the Communism one spammed by that Spanish poster. I fucking hate commies and hope they all hang, but the ideology of communism is political discussion. The problem with it and why I think it should be banned is that absolutely zero discussion takes place. It's the Spanish dude and like 2 of my commie boyfriends spamming pictures accompanied with no text, and then about 30 unique IDs coming in and calling them faggot commies over the course of the whole thread. Imo, it's a spam thread meant to bait and trigger people here because they don't even try to make a point defending or attacking communism. Just spam on all sides. Again, kill commies. But they should get a thread if they actually fucking talked about it but they don't.
Jace Long
people get called jews there even more than they do here.
Jordan Lopez
Not when imkampfy bumplocks threads about books, history, philosophy, art, national socialism. You can only talk about how you suck Trump's dick there.
Michael Johnson
I hate that we cant have awesome pro North Korea threads because normalfags take it too serious
Noah Collins
range ban leafs
Grayson Peterson
But I was t posting sexual picrures, you dumb shit. That's the point. I was doing things within the rules and got banned for it. Pictures of girls are not illegal. "Modelling" pictures are t either, the mods have been subverted. >you're probably a newfag. Holy fuck, you are the newfag. It didn't used to be like this. Used to you could post and not worry about random banning.
Josiah Barnes
Give instructions on how to use the filter tool?
Fuggin newfags
Isaiah Ramirez
Week long bans for "BTFO!", ">conservashits", and "*sips tea*" threads.
Ban larpers like that "Knowledge Bomb" fag.
Christopher Long
Ban NatSoc and other right wing thread. Promote discussion of marxism, deconstruction, dialectics, etc.
Justin Morgan
>Flag
Dominic Collins
this is some kosher subversion brewing in this thread. fuck off shills
Jeremiah Scott
Also banning The Leaf desu.
Leo Williams
>ban generals
Trump general needs to go. this board is supposed to be political discussion. not shitposting stale memes over and over again in a circlejerk.
Carson Myers
pol knows the (((Marxism))) threads are made by shills, 16 year old faggots and mentally subnormal people
pol knows natso is a shorthand for whites being proud of themselves and ending the invasion of their lands by non whites and (((them)))
pol always knows, nigger
praise Kek
praise the God Emperor
bring on the war
Gavin Johnson
Knowledge bomb guy isn't bad he at least tries and its sometimes an interesting change of pace. Even if hes wrong it takes effort, why lump him in with the sips tea faggots?
Im all for people saying whatever they want, even retarded commies but the types of threads you mentioned add nothing of value. Totally fine with making them banable.
>This confuses the conservative >Communism doesn't wor- >Sips tea >why are you all so wrong. Pro tip you cant prove my retarded position wrong >Schlumpf wrecked >Rural and suburban retards btfo >Faggot Democrat wrecks conservative with emotional argument >Guy talks to himself on twitter and slams his own arguments!
Gavin Smith
You mean ALL generals mate Brit/pol/ and auspol and whatever else there is can fuck right off to the cesspool that is Sup Forums Trump general seems like a decent containment for the_donald plebbitors Don't know about Syria General but I presume it's also a circlejerk of godawful memes and faggotry
Wyatt Taylor
BTFO should be banned or wordfiltered. Idiots who make obvious b8 that says shit like Shareblue_sample_14.png should be banned too.
Most generals should also be banned because they're annoying as fuck, especially the idiot Trump generals, the Syria generals, and the gommunism generals. Yep. Mods should actually enforce the fucking rules.
Logan Powell
britpol threads are top tier faggot. isnt a nigger alive who does not recognize our glorious flag. had to hover your flag to know it was poland :P
The important thing in this time of shills and slide threads is that all male pol faggots remain loyal to each other. While I think polish bro is a massive faggot for dissing a top tier thread, I will still stand beside him and fight our enemies when the time comes.
Never forget we can reclaim our lands faggots, love all your fellow pol faggots, notice how they keep trying to split us up. It aint working (((guys))).
Josiah Hernandez
>:P >this whole post in general If that's the kind of content a "top tier" thread has, we should just delete Sup Forums already
Brandon Torres
You look cute when you get mad! That's a nice dress you're wearing :)
And dont worry sweet baby, big daddy England will always send some warriors to save you went you need help. But I will have to spank you for being rude.
Kevin Foster
bumping cos the shills stopped posting in their thread when it went wrong
Brandon Fisher
sage any threads that read like someone on the right side of this pic came up with them. get back to our roots and back to the serious/critical discussions before the plebbit infestation
Angel Morgan

Anybody else think we should get rid of the T B H and F A M filters? I miss those words
Andrew Martin

Logan Moore
those are terms used to ID ledditors. I say keep the filters
Wyatt Hughes
well thats because youre a fucking pedo faggot and should be banned if you want to post lolli go to Sup Forums or fucking masterch.an or somewhere else pedo faggot
