This board is too big for it's own good. Threads die in like 10-20 minutes depending on the time of the day, one of the easiest ways to have a thread last for more than 50-100 replies is by pissing of people which ultimately lead into a climate where shitposting became the norm.

Split it up in sony / nintendo / microsoft boards and make more rules surrounding consolewars shit like portbegging or sales threads. If people want to discuss certain games they'll have to discuss games only and not platforms.

Switch is objectively the best console right now tho.

>microsoft board

Oh look, its another "split up the boards even more" faggot thread. Coming up next: "anons" unironically proposing voting and IDs.
The latter of those was already implemented for a short period on Sup Forums and increased shitposting x10 btw, but that doesnt keep the newfags from suggesting it over and over again.

These aren't meta threads. They're babbies crying circlejerks because they can't handle Sup Forums and/or have their shitthreads deleted.

You especially can fuck off. You already said in the playstation 4 general on /vg/ that you'll shitpost about monster hunter on Sup Forums all day long.

PC gaming and console gaming could use a split.

Having a fast board means we get rid of shitposting faster, you nigger.

>Implying splitting shit up even more is a good idea
As if these idiots wouldn't find a way to argue amongst each other. All you need to do is hide and report console war threads and console war shitposters. Do NOT reply to these people, seriously, it shouldn't be so fucking hard. If you can't do that for whatever reason then filter their favorite words that they use all the time. I don't know why you think separating things will help, because shitposters exist even on the slower of boards.

>Microsoft City
>Population: One
Also, where to discuss multiplats and other cross-revelant things like console-tans then? Or compare games and systems? Where does PCMR go?
Lastly, Sup Forums is all about chaos.

Sup Forums being a shitposting bed is important for Sup Forums's success

If Sup Forums was "fixed" and moderation became strict, the majority of users who shitpost would not suddenly start being good boys, they would leave and find something else to mess with.

Any real video game discussion attempt will result in maybe 10 posts max, with a post or two from some jaded asshole saying something like "there's nothing to discuss". Very few people on this board actually want to talk about video games.

Sup Forums would go from one of the fastest and successful boards to one of the slowest and dying boards overnight. Moderation knows this and they intentionally keep it this way just to keep a high user base.

The problem with Sup Forums is that no one talks about video games, simple as that, we just need better moderation and not this lawless shit.

>The latter of those was already implemented for a short period on Sup Forums and increased shitposting x10
No it didn't, you fucking mongoloid. The flags did.

What's the difference between them, though? It's just another platform.

The userbase

Expose him

ban non americans from posting on Sup Forums without a pass. That will fix most problems

>This board is too big, delete this board and make everybody with more than one system browse multiple boards
Fuck off newfag. This suggestion is older than you are and it was never good.

So is Nintendo's userbase.

It's YNA. One of /vg/s local shitposters. Here are some of his usual posts on /ps4g/.

You can easily tell it's him because he has like 10 images tops and was banned for avatarfagging a few times.

Agreed.

The problem is the mods aren't doing what they are supposed to, what's with the fucking /ffxiv/ general on Sup Forums? That's against the rules, now more games are doing it.

Not really. Neither is sony neither are xboners.

PC is a problem.

No more fucking boards

There are at least 10 boards that can be merged with no problem.

Ban this guy. That will fix all the problems.

No your idea is bad.

This type of thinking caused vg to exist.

Which is bad cause people go talk about video games there, and the majority of shitposters stay here and make threads like this one.

How's about "no"?

Do what anyone with common sense does. Report and hide that shit.

just make a /vc/ board for video game culture and put all the e-celeb and drama shit over there.

spotted the Sup Forums shitter

It's also full of summer fags I've noticed

Refer to

I have no problem with this. Let Sup Forums stay a containment board for shitposting
There is no fixing it. Might as well cut out the good parts and quarantine the rest

???

We seriously need to ban porn and anime threads
You know the ones
"Why haven't you bought his/her game yet?" Threads. Theyre fucking cancer

Is there any way to fix Sup Forums without banning people?

>muh serious video game discourse

Why are people like you even here? There are tonnes of boards where mods and overbearing rules protect your little video game opinions.

I think we need the following

>ID system to kill samefagging
>country flags to filter 3rd world PC shitposters
>cooldown time of 5 minutes for non-pass users

Enforcing the rules. Mods sure as fuck don't like doing that though.

Back in the late 2000s it wasn't uncommon for threads to be pruned after 1-2 minutes. If anything shits slower then ever.

Have you been to /vg/? It's a containment board for worse scum than we'll ever have in Sup Forums again.

turn Sup Forums into a yellow board and all will be saved

I was in a few /xivg/s and not a single person there is on the same level as the barneyfag or ffxv-kun.

spotted a leaf

I doubt this board is fixable. There's constantly newfags and complete normalfags coming here all the time, arguably more than other boards. Then there's a stupid amount of obvious shitposters that mods do nothing about. If mods actually enforced the rules this place would be a lot better but still far from perfect
This board got too big for its own good.

Threads that need to be banned on sight:

>Sup Forums or Sup Forums bait image with "What are some games with X?"
>This is X, say something nice about it.
>Porn threads

And add ID's and flags.

It's the most simple fucking rule: Talk about fucking video games.

>Banning anime
>on a Board called Sup Forums
>Which was made by a hardcore weeb

Its fine to not like anime, but expecting it to be banned here is autistic.

>shitposting is healthy for a boards climate because it means more traffic

thats the mentality of you shitters ruining these boards. its not fucking Sup Forums with video games.

ids yes flags no

Fuck off, I would rather have 'generals' than thinly veiled Sup Forums threads or threads where the OP posts a screen cap of a fucking twitter post, god forbid people actually talk about vidya

>/vg/
>talking about video games

Oh boy

try /poeg/ and /wowg/

E-celeb and sociopolitical threads result in an autoban.

The only ones who will argue against this are those who don't want to talk about video games on a video game board, and therefore their opinions should be ignored.

What's wrong with /vg/ now?

flags would only increase shitposting, you retard
>HUUURRR YOUR OPINION DOESNT COUNT BECAUSE COUNTRY X
>LMAOO COUNTRY Y XDD

>flags

surefire way to turn the board into flagshitposting central. This will block all possible avenues of discussion.

Jap Sup Forums and West Sup Forums split scares the western vidya babby's so much, they already know west Sup Forums would just be shitposting and garbage tier discussing whilst circlejerking over consoles wars.

I agree. Mods should make a new Sup ForumsJapanese games containment board so you all weebs can fuck off there.

why dont you just filter them?

Or you could just hide consolewars threads.

That's exactly the point, they will block third world shitposters like you from expressing your opinion you won't be able to play in your life.

only nintendo board would get movement

and it would be 100% shitposting

Just filter all non-video game discussion? On a board for discussing video games?

>Taking Sup Forums seriously

So basically every thread?

This is the mentality that killed Sup Forums

its fucking redditors

they cant have fun on their shity website so they feel like they are forced to come here specialy just to shit on everything

>not first post from this IP
So you are defending shitposting because you think that ruining other peoples discussion is your right and everyone who tries to talk about something is "taking it seriously"?

That's the erp slut right?
I remember a friend telling me all about his sessions with him.

>You already said in the playstation 4
>You
I've never been in the playstation 4 general user. Are you actually so new to think that there's only one user posting that image? Or is it something else that made you go fulll retard? Nevertheless, never go full retard.

...

what said. But you're a dumb nigger who just wants to bait people with your niggerness.

retard detected

I'm not in support of it you moron, that's just what I believe the moderation thinks.

Are you being serious or ironic? Because if you are, then I would say that flags don't stop third worlders from expressing their opinions; it just promotes shitposting towards their opinions.

>No it didn't,
Yes it was newfag. It was. Even longer than the flags, which were just a joke.

The only group that needs to be split up are Sonyroaches for constantly infesting every single thread. Hell, even 2ch has a Sony board for this specific reason.

More like people who thought everywhere on Sup Forums was this insane website

/tg/ is fucked

obviously it wont block everything out but if you're sick of seeing the same threads over and over why not add "say something nice about" to the filter?
does everything have to be done by the mods or can you find a way to help yourself

>More like people who thought everywhere on Sup Forums was this insane website
reditors

I want to leave this fucking site already after all these years but I can't.
It just keeps getting worse and worse

>flags and Ids will totally keep down shitposting w-we swear
>shitpost because something you disagree with must be coming from a country you dont like
Flawless

The time where only Sup Forums pass users could post because the captcha was fucked up made v pretty nice, if only for a little while.

>one of the easiest ways to have a thread last for more than 50-100 replies is by pissing of people
This is the biggest problem. You either need to bait people with memes, insults, off-topic pictures or other awful shitposting tactics.

>now
It is and always been tripfag circlejerking and waifu talk for the most part.

Generals eventually run out of things to talk about and degenerates start to pop up.

>stealth console war thread

simply autoban everyone with Sup Forums and /r9k/ cookies

And adding to this
>You can easily tell it's him because he has like 10 images tops and was banned for avatarfagging a few times.
You actually are that new

These subtle meta-shitposting excuse threads are really cute and all but they literally do nothing, if anything Sup Forums has only gotten shitter since you /qa/ cry babies started making them.

>flags

*nightmares of flag boards*
>LE RARE LOL POO IN DOODOO SHART IN MART

No.

Has hiro even done anything

>posting weeb shit
Kill yourself my man.

protip: Sup Forums has tried to have actual moderation before and the userbase flips the fuck out

The Primary/Secondary/Tertiary sticky that went up when /vr/ was made made people scream MUH BOARD CULTURE when all it did was tell you to post video game related things

Obligatory post reminding you of a few things

>Anyone who wants flags added is almost certainly a faggot that came to Sup Forums during babbies first election, thought "hey, I play video games" and wants to force their shitty content here to fit in too

>splitting up the board is retarded and will do nothing, for an example- /bant/, Sup Forums and Sup Forums are all pretty much the same board with varying levels of edginess

>"ban X from doing Y" is retarded

>Sup Forums is not a charity and they are not going to do anything to deliberately reduce their traffic, demanding them to do so makes you a retard

>Sup Forums in general can't be "fixed" because the amount of work that would need to be put in for middling returns is stupendous, more mods would be nice but generally mods have varying views on what is or isn't against the rules

>Someone will accuse me of reddit spacing

Sup Forums is shit
Sup Forums has been shit for a long time
Sup Forums will be shit for a long time
if you come to Sup Forums for quality content and discussion you're a retard

t.reddit

Exactly. I remember when we had Monster Hunter threads no problem, always hit bump limit. Then it slowly turned into "WOW DIS GAME SUCKS IS TOO HARD FUCKIN WHERE'S THE HEALTH BAR". One user even had the nerve to say that's how you're supposed to start these threads. You never needed to fucking bait people for a MH thread and then some faggots just went and decided that the only way to get replies for them was to bait, even though it was never needed in the first place.

If you want posts, then just make your thread about sex.

It's all any of you virgins care about anymore.

Pretty much.
Also that doujin was great.

>le jaded oldfag
none of your points address the problem presented in OP

>add flags

What the fuck does that accomplish, you blithering fucking retards? It'll do nothing but add to the shitposting.

>Someone will accuse me of reddit spacing
Speaking of this why did this all of a sudden become a thing within the last couple of months? I've seen people format their posts like that for years yet no one has ever given a shit.
