Why the fuck does Sup Forums have flags?

Why the fuck does Sup Forums have flags?

So we can tell whos a bandwagoner

because SHART IN MART

so we can filter australia.

Because Sup Forums is Sup Forums 2.0 AND Sup Forums 2.0 AND KC/int/ 2.0.

Top tier olympic shitposting

So we can shipost MUH RARE FLAG

Because the shart in marts keep pretending to be europeans because they are jealous of soccer culture. Having flags ensures that their posts are ignored.

so we can ignore the algerian city bandwagoner.

Moot added them right before the London Olympics in 2012.

This was widely regarded as a bad move.

This shit posting was at insane levels during the 2012 olympics. Adding flags showed that Australia was doing a disproportionate amount of shit posting. Also there was this German who would post the same 5 Sup Forums tier threads over and over. It helped to identify where the massive influx of spam threads was coming from.

I like flags to be honest

And that Australian Juve bandwagoner with hundreds of fucking Juve pepes

I wish you guys had proper flags for England, Scotland, Wales and Norn Ireland.

State flags would be cool too if only half the flags weren't shit tier indistinguishable navy blue meme garbage.

You can use this Greasemonkey extension to get state flags if you so desire.

Is there any Negros in Georgia
>fucking lol

Literally, the non-meme correct answer is this. Australian shitposting got so out of hand that moot revealed flags so they couldn't pretend to be Americans and Europeans anymore.

moot added flags for the 2012 olympics - neat gimmick, fun at first

then we he removed them a few months later a few autists kicked up a fuss and rather than looking into the issue with any depth moot reactivated the flags and left Sup Forums to rot

I only recognise texas and that's the same as chile

And Europe vs. USA threads have been shit ever since.

I had to take to doing West Coast vs. East Coast USA threads though while completely writing off the middle section as flyover hick shitters, which has worked.

>Australia
>calling someone else hick shitters

This must be the famous Aussie shitposting I hear so much about.

7 500+ post threads can't be wrong friend

so we can filter australians

execute all australians

And the current shitter gives even less of a fuck. Only thing he did was add the tbhfam wordfilter, then got bored with his new toy and fucked off.

at least we still have the mods keeping up the law and order!

...

huh i never realized i have the only non rectangular flag

o hayo~
