Reminder that Hiromoot allows for one meta thread per board.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss the woes of this board, including one of the most pressing issues, the increasing number and frequency of "e-celeb" threads (threads regarding the actions/drama of various YouTube "celebrities"). As of the writing of this post, there are currently 7 different e-celeb threads going on, 5 of which are dedicated to Lauren Southern. These threads are on par with celebrity tabloid magazines and are not related to the issues of politics or political beliefs. I am petitioning to the mods and Hiroshimoot himself to view these threads in violation of the board rules and to delete them, or at the very least, move them to Sup Forums or /bant/.
Isaac Taylor
Had to hide 166 threads Janitors and mods do nothing and intentionally let the board get ruined
Thomas Smith
YES, please get rid of this e-celeb trash. I want to discuss political matters here, not whether Lauren Southern is in a lesbian relationship. Stop with this inane shit.
Ryan Turner
I was originally gonna suggest the creation of a new board for e/celeb news/drama, but then I remembered that /bant/ and Sup Forums already exist.
Mason Watson
this remove youtuber xyz and work on the blacked spam and x btfo and i would be happy
Lucas Turner
What's with all these garbage threads?
No, the actual question is why the fuck are these fags keep falling for the bait?
I think it is best to weed(via saging) them out, so the quality threads could thrive.
Bump.
Parker Perez
kill generals they are just reddit circlejerks
Leo Green
Mods don't care about this shit. They don't delete BLACKED threads or any of the ones that turkroach posts at 1AM every day. They're liberal as fuck and love to see this place burn.
David Morales
The problem is the newfags and retards now far outweigh the people who sage these threads so they always end up getting 200+ replies while threads with actual happenings barely get 50 general threads are actually a pretty good way of keeping shitposting contained. Id rather only have 1-2 Trump threads going than 20. Same goes with Syria shit.

Luke Mitchell
the mods favour stuff. ive reported BBC porn before and waited 30mins and it was still up so i posted in thread asking why its not deleted after i reported it... got a 3 day ban and thread remained up until it slid off page 10
Gabriel Ross
mods have been doing an alright job of it so far, but the removal of blatant Sup Forums (and /bant/) tier threads needs to be high priority too often you'll see threads like "What's your country's national food?" and other such drivel that rarely offers up the opportunity for political discussion
Kevin Ross
Instead of deleting all the threads, how about creating an e-celeb general thread. The people who care about the subject can still discuss it, but it will prevent the cancer from overwhelming this board.
Cameron Bell
Make a /youtube/ and then the problem is solved.
Zachary Rogers
These new flags and the ability to change your flag to not display your country have been a disaster. Why hasn't this been removed. Its nearly killed Sup Forums.
Thomas Barnes
Why not an e-celeb general. Theyre just gonna keep popping up anyway. /ecg/ there use that
Jackson Harris
I think that would be unnecessary since there is Sup Forums, /bant/, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and others.
I think it is best that there's a general thread for e-celebs.
Nolan Watson
You really think the Lauren Southern threads are the biggest problem, when there are five snide new one-liner, one-post-by-this-IDs a minute?
Hunter Jackson
PIN RELEVANT NEWS STORIES TO THE TOP THE ENTIRE REASON THE CATALOG IS FUCKED IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SPAM IT WITH THREADS TO SLIDE IT
Levi Phillips
This
Christian Robinson
Yes we do. Go talk about her on /r/The_Donald.
Jose Hernandez
fuck off. the e celeb threads are not a problem the fucking nigger cuck spam is the fucking problem
Zachary Wilson
WE NEED NEW MEME FLAGS
THE OPTIONS ARE TOO FEW AND TOO DUMB (LIKE ANCHOM BEING "ANARCHIST")
WHERE'S THE MONARCHIST FLAG? THE FALANGIST FLAG? THE HINDUTVA FLAG? THE ZIONIST FLAG? THE NRx FLAG?
What other flags, Sup Forums?
Zachary Smith
fix this
Jack Lewis
Nation flags should come back.
This reddit flag shit is terrible and serves no purpose other than copying reddit
Daniel Stewart
I really wish that e celeb threads that aren't discussing whatever political issue an e celeb covered in a video but instead are used to promote of discuss the e celeb themselves would get banised to /bant or banned or perhaps if there could be one single youtuber e celeb general so the board isn't shitted up with them
Eli Wright
the one liners are. Luke the redpill me on x or the are x degenerate or the if x is y then how come z? Which clearly states it as off topic b tier stuff in the sticky YET the janitor and mod cucks dont delete and ban people for it instead it ends up sliding off page 10 then they post it again
Jaxson Evans
This. The meme flags absolutely need to go.
Julian James
/leftypol/ is spamming the e-celeb shit because it's the only tactic that has worked here quit playing into their hands The real problem with Sup Forums is people spam the fucking catalog with slide threads. If you go to 4+4 chan they don't have this problem, precisely because they pin relevant news stories to the top so their is nothing to slide.
Dominic Anderson
Its for poor saps in censorship countries like England and Germany to protect themselves
Samuel Brown
only /ptg/ is a reddit colony, /sg/ is quality

Maybe so but who is responding to the bait? That's right! Triggered beta orbiters from /r/The_Cuckold!
Christian Johnson

I can't help it if people don't sage their post
Jace Ortiz
Instant BAN for starting a thread using an image drawn by David Horsey.

e-celeb has traction, no doubt. Redditors are the reason why. When there are lots of slide threads, the serious threads are much higher quality.
Slide threads attract and trap redditors.
/media/ is the answer. Sup Forums is divided. One side is watching the media machine fall apart. The other is actually into the technicals of politics. The question which differentiates /media/ and Sup Forums is this:
Do you discuss ideas or do you discuss people.
If ideas = Sup Forums If people = /media/
Luis Cruz
E-celeb threads are a problem, but a small part of the general spam folder: >Redpill me on >How do we fix women? >Start to make a statem- >APOLOGIZE >Niger hate thread >fake IT'S HAPPENING >Coal burner threads And many others. They even use the same photos over and over again.
Camden Turner
there have been no decent threads today
most of these are good
Jeremiah Morris
The problem is now you are letting /leftypol/ dictate what you do and don't talk about.
