Hiro has allowed each board to have one (1) active thread to discuss the boards themselves and how best to improve them.
Today's topic of discussion: e-celebs. In the past this has been one of the more prominent points of agreement of the users of Sup Forums. Namely, that e-celebs are cancer. So, the question remains: what is to be done about them? A containment board has been suggested, but there's nothing that can really be done about seeing one made. How else can we handle these threads? Ignoring might be the best, but people can't help participating in discussion.
Also, feel free to discuss Sup Forums matters other than e-celebs here. The goal here is to reach an understanding of what is wrong with the board and how we as a community can improve it.

e-celeb containment thread and console war containment thread
Jason Walker
There's nothing wrong with e-celeb threads. Mods already keep a good balance of them so that they don't fill Sup Forums.
Autistic fucks who want literally all of them to be eliminated on sight can keep crying for as long as they want, but it won't happen. They're part of vidya culture and they will remain that way.
Benjamin Morales
Ban all e-celeb postets and Twitter screencapfags
Chase Miller
Ban this faggot
Dominic Lewis
Send them to /vg/
Joseph Collins
"E-celeb" threads have existed for as long as Sup Forums has. reminds me that we've been having Giant Bomb threads since 08 and 8.8 threads before that. It's literally always been a part of Sup Forums and it will remain that way.
>BUT NOT VIDYA They are obviously vidya related, though. They're secondary threads, which belong on Sup Forums. It's tertiary threads that don't.
Bentley Gomez
>A containment board has been suggested, but there's nothing that can really be done about seeing one made.
why cant there be one made?
Tyler Anderson
A containment board would be as effective as having /cgl/ is for cosplay threads and Sup Forums for weeb threads and Sup Forums for drawfag threads. You'll never be able to talk about videogames on Sup Forums and you just have to learn to accept it.
Carson Moore
Not an argument, as expected. You won't touch our comfy Giant Bomb threads that we've been having for nearly a decade now, you faggot, not without taking out all frrriday night motherfucker threads too.
Leo Torres
We don't have the power to make one. We'd have to make a big enough noise to convince Hiro it's needed.
Jayden Taylor
I have to laugh at the narrative that has been happening for quite a few years now, where people start using the term e-celeb trying to discredit their content as something that can be discussed on Sup Forums
If it's some shit about some crazy tranny cutting his dick off, then yeah, that's not vidya related, if it's them speedrunning or releasing a video about a game, than that is absolutely 100% about video games. Deal with it, faggot.
Gabriel Morales
This
Kayden Jenkins
celebs are awful too
Josiah Sanchez
The kind of people who actively make Sup Forums worse.
Ryder Roberts
e-celeb threads aren't video games because they're discussing the people and their private lives, not the video games they're supposed to be playing.
so leave that shit off Sup Forums, delete on sight and either post the thread on Sup Forums OR keep youtubers and what they do entirely off Sup Forums.
Kayden Ward
This
As usual, mods are already doing what's working for Sup Forums, despite OP pretending otherwise.
Seriously, go look at the catalog, there's not even ONE thread about e-celebs, and there'd be nothing wrong with it if there was.
Our catalog isn't so busy that it's affecting the quality of the board in any way.
Faggots like OP can be summed up very easily with pic related.
Noah Gutierrez
Wrong. Your shitty milionth attempt at taking down threads you don't like with bad meta threads instead of contributing to this board with whatever vidya related content to discuss is considerably worse than any e-celeb thread that isn't about Chris Chan or some shit like that.
Jace Wilson
honest question user, do you think the cosmo "what went wrong", angry joe and boogie threads should stay on the board. curious.
Caleb Phillips
but Sup Forums is full of vidya gaem talk now
Dominic Carter
Can we all just agree that everything I don't like should be banned from Sup Forums?
Nicholas Lee
Depends.
If the OP is about "This guy has a mental illness/is real fat/is a spic", then no.
If it's discussing a video or maybe even a tweet they released talking about a video game (for example: "Speedrunning Ocarina of Time is hard/XCom 2 sucks because reasons", then it's perfectly acceptable.
James Ramirez
And that's already the balance mods and janitors try to keep when they're around.
Jeremiah Young
Shame the latter is so rare. The majority of e-celeb threads has been about their personal lives and drama or some stupid bullshit they said on Twitter. If e-celeb threads were actually about their video game aspect then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Ian Butler
Correct, the way e-celebs are dealt with in Sup Forums is already as it should be. If you don't like it, feel free to leave. Or keep making these threads crying about it, I guess, whatever suits you.
Leo Gonzalez
>People are actually defending E-celebs threads
This board is beyond salvation
Jace Collins
THIS IS A FUCKING VIDEO
Dominic Moore
do mods still delete e-celeb threads? i just caught a boogie thread being deleted which was great.
Jaxon Allen
I can't speak for Angry Joe or Boogie threads because I don't browse them and just ignore them, but in Giant Bomb threads, for example, we discuss opinions held by the people and videos they have recently released that are video game related, we use that as a platform to talk about video games at all times. There's nothing wrong with that, no matter how many times people scream "E-CELEB" at it. If that's how those other threads function, then I see nothing wrong with them either.
Jacob Roberts
Good, feel free to fuck off. Giant Bomb threads have been in Sup Forums since 2008. That's probably longer than your sorry ass has known about this website.
Easton King
Like other user said, E-celeb threads are very much related. I don't want this board to be turned into an E-celeb board, but your head must be far up your ass to think that's what it's like currently.
THere's far from a fucking consensus on whether or not E-celeb threads should be banned, OP.
Brody Long
I'm convinced there's like one or two autistic people screeching at anything e-celeb related. You've been doing this for years, when will you fuck off?
Literally just ignore the threads you don't care about. I do it all the fucking time.
Connor Nguyen
That's not true at all.
Matthew Ortiz
Give all the summerfags from the past three years a week-long ban.
Jonathan Perez
random e-celeb youtubers don't get the same treatment, alphaomegasin's threads is just about how he's a short cuck or some leaked private DM with nudes in it. Chibi threads is autistic drama, you name it. Giant bomb threads seem like the one exception, but unfortunately due to the majority of e-celeb threads being this way it should be a no-go.
Sebastian Roberts
What's not true? I'm speaking about Giant Bomb threads. Like I said, I have no clue about how boogie or angry joe threads function, since I just simply don't click them.
Thomas James
Threads actively discussing the videos being outputted from a single e-celeb is fine.
Threads about e-drama and obscure memeing should be removed.
Ayden Williams
Anyone who actually enjoys e-celeb threads are lonely autistic cancer.
The only thing worse than playing videogames is watching other people play videogames.
But, as I've come to realize, underages are everywhere. Let them have their thread, it doesn't bother me. If I had a choice, I would lay down bans for that shit, though. If horsefucking is bannable and needs its own board, make a celebrity board. Could help out Sup Forums too, I guess.
Noah Garcia
Remove the following >e-celeb threads (fuck off Giant Bomb shills) >console war shitposting threads >filename threads, they're never about video games for long >threads that begin with memes in the OP >obvious porn or furry threads There's most of Sup Forums's problems fixed
Carson Taylor
Filename and LOL threads are classic Sup Forums
Tyler Morales
LOL threads are just containment threads for off-topic shitposting at this point.
Christian Martinez
user we cannot live in a perfect utopia and you know this
Andrew Flores
Sup Forums is a containment for off-topic shitposting. LOL threads are tangentially vidya related and have their own merits.
Cameron Morales
I would like to discuss the shitty mods.
Well not mods but a mod, there seems to be a salty mod on here lately who is abusing his status.
Firstly a guy got a three day ban for making a FF XV thread and saying that he liked it.
Two days I was in a thread where someone was calling R6 Siege CoD. I replied to him with
>le X is like CoD meme
Next thing I know i'm banned for 24hrs because of it. Obviously the guy I replied to was a mod and he banned me for calling out his BS.
Last night I made a post calling someone a 'nintendie' as a joke and today I got a three day ban for it.
The mods are abusing their power and banning people for saying shit back to them or banning people for saying something they don't like.
Pls stop this bullshit and grow up you miserable hotpockets :^)
Eli Cruz
>e-celeb threads (fuck off Giant Bomb shills) We already do if there's too much of them or they're advertisement >console war shitposting threads We already do if they're obviously there just for flame wars >filename threads, they're never about video games for long No >threads that begin with memes in the OP No >obvious porn or furry threads Yes, and we already do
In other words, you have no good suggestions for any actual chances of moderation policy.
Vidya culture rule exists precisely to shut fags like you up, and it's why it will remain here forever.
Cooper Baker
>actively hating fun
Henry Hill
You guys know how to get any thread nearly instantly deleted, right? I know you know.
Justin Williams
Witnessed.
Zachary Brown
>getting banned for posting nigger >"rule too: you shall not post racism outside of Sup Forums"
yeah, moderation is definitely getting worse. I'm pretty sure it's the same crowd as reddit.
Robert Stewart
No
Nathan Young
does someone else remember the public ban a few weeks ago? was about gaming channels
Jonathan Gray
Sup Forums would greatly improve if it doesn't exist.
Instead we should have specific boards for specific platforms and brands. /nint/ /sony/ /xbox/ /mrace/
We should also have boards for specific genres and specific fanbases
And we should be able to create our own boards and assign mods to them
>YFW you realize that "muh eceleb" faggots are trying to turn Sup Forums into reddit
Henry Gutierrez
The issue with e-celebs thread is that most of the time, it ends up not talking about video games but about drama and relationships between e-celebs. Nobody should give a fuck about that, and it's not video games. I don't like e-celebs threads, but I guess it's okay to have one thread in the catalog about this. As long as it's about e-celebs playing video games, not drama shit because some retards on Sup Forums can only live through assholes on youtube who don't give a shit about them.
Leo Russell
Nope. Fuck you.
Evan Brown
Fuck you
Chase Flores
delete Sup Forums
Gabriel Williams
>enforcing shitty rule is good thing do you have autism rulefag?
Juan Evans
>vidya culture
theres no culture about pressing buttons fag
Cameron Cruz
LTG and DSP threads for example are about those "people" never about games
it's always personal drama
Julian Bell
we could even have board just for pokemon
Xavier Bennett
Friday night and gamerfule threads should be allowed.
Aiden Brooks
Then do it now and fuck off
Blake Garcia
I can't speak for LTG, but I do know that there have been a few threads I've seen about DSP that were about his financial status and him masturbating or some shit like that, that's certainly off-topic. But then there's stuff like a video of him being terrible at Half Life, and at that point I think it's more to do with vidya. It's the equivalent of "That guy threads" (or should we ban those too? Are those not allowed under the utopian dictatorship OP wants?)
The problem has never been in "e-celeb" threads. It's been in "e-celeb" threads that are obviously off-topic.
Alexander Carter
>board just for pokemon Now, don't be stupid.
Nathan Jackson
This
But faggots would rather not talk about video games on the video game board
Hunter Walker
I got banned for posting nigger, autismo. The point is, mods are enforcing rules that have never been enforced. The racism rule is supposed to prevent spam by ben garrison wannables, but it's vague enough that it could mean anything. Now when you've got a shitty mod...
Jordan Hughes
And this is why you faggots will never be taken seriously. You want to take away everything that is fun about Sup Forums. No fun allowed cunts.
Logan Powell
e-celebs should at least be related to video games though
we have daily pewdiepie threads when the retard doesn't even play videogames anymore
Juan Taylor
I care about this thread, though. I actively disagree with OP's post and am engaging in discussion about it.
Zachary Thompson
>talking about video games isn't fun for me
Fuck off then.
Juan Brown
>if it's them
Then the focus should be on the game, which never eventuates, and the thread devolves into gossip surrounding the person.
If the game is presented first, like Nier: automata, then the focus is that, but the people responsible for it are just secondary topics like taro's eccentricity.
Sup Forums is for video games, not people.
Zachary Foster
Except I talk about video games on Sup Forums all the time, including in e-celeb threads. And this is ironic coming from someone posting in a meta thread that is entirely about crying about certain threads you don't like.
Isaac Hernandez
>The goal here is to reach an understanding of what is wrong with the board and how we as a community can improve it. problem is, shitposter will always be shitposter, and fanboys will always hate other fanboys
Liam King
>gossip around the person
exactly
My theory is that gossip is human nature and that most of these e-celeb fans are betas who don't get to talk to many people irl so they pick their e-celebs as substitute and fill their gossip needs by posting on Sup Forums
Elijah Jenkins
Just make /youtube/ or send all lets play/video series stuff to Sup Forums where it belongs
Kayden Richardson
>Split Sup Forums further No
Connor Anderson
>things that never happened
just look at any eceleb thread it's always about them as people and their private life
Sebastian Ortiz
E-celebs have been a thing here forever,it's board culture and you can't deny that.
Matthew Smith
Sup Forums, SJW and GG threads should be deleted on sight.
Most of them reach or go over the post limit. It is even worse when they go over the post limit because it means a mod let them go over.
They will ban you for stupod shit but allow these threads to go over the post limit.
I have seen two Sup Forums threads go over the post limit today and even one porn thread stay up until 400 posts.
Eli Turner
No, it isn't. If it is, mods may delete them, if they aren't, they shouldn't (and they don't)
Noah King
How would that split Sup Forums? They're watching a show, not playing video games. It doesn't belong here it belongs on Sup Forums
Kayden Green
A show about video games where we discuss the quality of video games and opinions about video games.
Secondary content, not tertiary.
Hunter Hernandez
E-celeb threads have never been a part of Sup Forums and should never be allowed. All they are are underage reddit faggot bait, if you give them their own board that will just encourage even more underage faggot redditors to flood to Sup Forums. Ban them permanently anywhere outside of Sup Forums. >we Perfect example of cancer, claiming bullshit of having regular threads for a decade, so full of shit.
Noah Cooper
hmmmm
Ayden King
But no one duicusses video games. They just talk about eceleb drama and what they said on twitter.
These fags are obsessed with the drama of other peoples lives and spend all day lurking their twitter, facebook and reddit accounts. They just live their lives through other peoples.
It is not video games, go watch a soap if you want drama about other peoples lives.
Jeremiah Wilson
>claiming bullshit of having regular threads for a decade, so full of shit. >He doesn't know about 8.8 >He doesn't know about Giant Bomb

F A G
What a surprise.
Leo Gray
Reddit is unironically a better place to talk about videogames
Sup Forums is good for leaks and...literally nothing else
Sup Forums remains Sup Forums 2.0 and it is impossible to have any sort of discussion
Ironically, the best threads i've seen this month that were on topic and had good content were Halo threads and I fucking hate Halo
Sup Forums only talks about games when its E3 and I find myself going to other boards more often now because Sup Forums is just complete garbage now
Lanced Jack and YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO... threads were better than the constant twitter threads and e-celeb circle jerks MUH PAT AND WOOLIE and ARIN and JONTRON OMGGGGG
Sup Forums is tabloid tier
Jace Phillips
>implying this is what all eceleb threads are like
most of the time you aren't even talking about video games, just petty internet drama.
Lucas Mitchell
>now hello newfag
Robert Miller
>But no one duicusses video games. They just talk about eceleb drama and what they said on twitter. Wrong. Again, if that's the case, then mods can and should delete the thread, but if it isn't, then they shouldn't and don't.
But there are e-celeb threads that are about vidya, and those shouldn't be deleted.
Lucas Smith
>Muh Giant Bomb!
We get it, you're a shill, now actually show us that those threads aren't cancer rather than telling us.
Benjamin Fisher
>Sup Forums is good for leaks and...literally nothing else
Sup Forums gets all of its leaks from Reddit and Neogaff.
Austin Thomas
Nothing good has ever come of these threads, yet they are still created.
Grayson Sanchez
>implying this is what all eceleb threads are like Precisely my point. It depends, which is why mods do the smart thing of looking at each thread on a case by case basis rather than being morons who do a blanket bombing on everything related to e-celebs they see.
This approach should not be changed. It's very clearly working for us.
William Morgan
/qa/ needs to leak out and scream at shit like they always do
