Cred Forums Discussion Thread

Let's have a constructive discussion on the future of this board.

I like this image

Thread IDs are a fantastic idea, and samefagging is not an "essential part of board culture". It's cancer.

people might be confused about what should constitute as bannable and not bannable, so i'll just quickly go through the catalogue and select a few "off topic" threads, designating them as either ban worthy or acceptable

SHOULD BE BANNED:
SHOULD NOT BE BANNED:
thank you and make Cred Forums good once

Stop making these threads, it's never productive and nothing will ever be done, this board will forever be the landfill of Cred Forums

I would support this if the thread IDs were names of famous anime lolis

It's all yours, friend.

all but the webm thread should get deleted

I love these shitposting threads.

Thanks, Loran

>should be banned
>has video game threads

>shouldnt be banned
>console war, meme, and off topic threads


yeah this is a good idea

you can still samefag with IDs, retard

The kinds of threads with samefagging are in general not good threads anyway. In a good thread I don't give a fuck whose posting what.

On the other hand, if you say something stupid or get a fact wrong on a board with IDs, that thread might as well be dead to you, because the other posters won't let you forget about it. So in trying to stop samefagging you're taking out not-the-samefags as well.

anime butts are NOT video games

anime butts do not belong

We already have rule 1 2 and 3.

>1.All posts should pertain to video games, their consoles, and video game culture. Threads should remain on topic and stay in theme with the board. Don't post off-topic garbage.
>2.Flaming/flagrant "fanboyism"/etc. will not be tolerated.
>3.Threads should not devolve into flamewars. Instigating or encouraging such activity will not be tolerated.

>Cred Forums shit post about dubs
>dubs are removed
>Cred Forums starts a religion about dubs
>still has dubs
Bring back dubs. Cred Forums was never as bad as Cred Forums with this shit.

and that posters believes those rules should be removed

I'm only here for the porn

Yes it was.

Well, this thread is surprisingly short so far.

My thoughts on the subject:

Put a select few terms in the auto-sage list. The point is to catch people unfamiliar with Cred Forums and get rid of their attempts to make joke meme threads, but not allowing them to bump and not sticking around. You want the list short and specific so that it doesn't hit valid threads, and is something that people who know the board can just work around.

Site-wide ban of Barneyfagging. It's not so bad anymore but everyone involved just needs to get kicked out so it stops, both the baits and the posting itself.

Other than that, it's mostly dependent on the users to make good content, to report, and to ignore the shit. As has noted, there are threads already deleted which are wildly off-topic, so making threads about people making threads really isn't necessary.

We need janitors/mods to actually enforce existing rules. How do we end up with so many janitors/mods with personal favorite shitpost threads? You'll have individual posts deleted in e-celeb threads and not the threads themselves. I was once banned for abusing the report system after reporting three threads off the main page, two of which were the same e-celeb. Meanwhile both threads stay up for hours.

Sure is video games in here!
How about those video games, right?

It's way more effort, though. It'll cut out the majority of samefagging cases. At the very least, it'll let you know when one person is pretending to be another person.

There are VERY few instances where having thread IDs would harm the "integrity" of the site, and LOTS of cases where they help. People constantly cite the idea that you'd be "ganged up upon" for your opinion, but when on Earth is this ever actually going to happen in a way that it matters?

>You shitpost in a thread and then every post after that people laugh at you even if you're just talking about level 3
Then they're the ones shitposting now and you can report them

>You pose an unpopular viewpoint in a thread and then every post after that people laugh at you even if you're just talking about level 3
Then they're the ones shitposting now and you can report them

Hell, half the people in any given thread who are stirring up trouble are probably the same 2-3 shitposters. Everyone else can report and filter them and suddenly find out that the remainder of the posters are good people who actually want to discuss the game.

>Well, this thread is surprisingly short so far.

Because no one wants to talk about this shit anymore.

If it has not been clear to you, the people who want to force new rules are a vocal minority.

Remove loli.
I like manga but have never liked loli.

Post some lolis you shitters.

read this guy's response and shut the fuck up with your shit idea, user

>if you say something stupid or get a fact wrong on a board with IDs, that thread might as well be dead to you, because the other posters won't let you forget about it
This is blown way out of proportion. People rarely even do this on Reddit, supposedly the fucking avatar of circlejerking on the internet. You get downvoted into oblivion for your opinion in one spot in the thread, people don't fucking mob-downvote every post you have.

>Everyone knows that level 3 is the hardest in the game
>LOL YOU FUCKING IDIOT LEVEL 4 IS THE HARDEST
>I really liked using the hammer weapon
>HEY RETARD MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU SUCKED AT LEVEL 3 LOL
Like seriously at this point capsfag is clearly the shitposter.

More like remove them from Cred Forums. It's a nightmare. It's the same problem Cred Forums had before where kids who are bad at numbers don't realize how constant dubs are on such a fast-paced board, and then there's just mass waves of shitposting at every dub / trip / "interesting" number. Most threads are half-discussion at best because the rest is just ">77 PRAISE KEK OMFG."

i would only accept it if faggot can be one of the possible names
even better if a mod can put it to an user that is acting like one

I dunno if I like these threads because they keep the shitposters in one thread or dislike them because you people are just going in circles.

>supposedly the fucking avatar of circlejerking on the internet
>supposedly
You have to go back.

so what's the deal

what's changing?

>pull out your phone
>search thread
>post
Wow so hard.

These threads are fucking pointless
HIro isn't going to do shit

A deal's a deal.
Nothing will change.

everyone's going to die. see you later.

There is no shortage of people bitching about Cred Forums, that is not a minority.

There is just never any consensus about new rules, in fact most people don't mind the current rules its just the enforcement of which is extremely poor compared to other places like Cred Forums or /e/.

alright if no lewds are posted in one minute I'll have to take action

Orange Range is such a lolicon, how is he not in jail?

...

I think thread-based IDs are a good idea to deter low effort shitposters

If you're willing to change your IP every single shitpost you've fuckin' earned it

ban anything sonic

Thanks OP
you are the perfect example of whats need to be banned
This shithole is not a e u or any of those boards , its FUCKING Cred Forums for VIDEOGAMES
If you want animu lewds go to those boards NO FUCKING Cred Forums

ban e-celeb threads

there are literally two boards dedicated to webms, threads pertaining to only webms shouldn't be on this board.

there are no nipples in the op images

literally video game gameplay in that thread

still he can dump this on a or c , its not our fault those boards are ded as fuck so they come here to shitpost about no vidya

yo

where's the porn

The point of the image is to grab your attention through your dick.

why didnt the thread itself get deleted

>The point of the image is to grab your attention through your dick.
>being this weak

Do people really think this will 'scare the normalfags away'?

I swear, both furries and weebs use this argument but it's so dumb.

>random posts deleted
>this thread still remains

Retard alert. Maybe you should share your opinion on tumblr and see if they care.

Cred Forums literally is the normalfag board for all intents and purposes

mods are here, pack it up boys
porn stops faggots from browsing at work or in public

it's actually a fantastic way to keep normalfags off the board

AWOOO~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Porn attracts retarded kiddies.

I browse Cred Forums from work from my phone. Can't really care about porn being posted.

Don't you mean intensive purposes

That's retarded.

If I have time to browse the internet at work, I'm usually on break. On top of that, if I'm supposed to be working and get caught on any non-work website, I'm going to get in trouble, anime titties or no.

You're dumb.

Honestly, thread IDs aren't going to do anything to influence shitposting. Any dedicated shitposter is going to just spout whatever conflicting opinions they want in order to get a rise out of people. If the posters in the thread can't ignore an obvious shitposting troll, then I don't see how an ID number is going to matter much.

Also, most people see Cred Forums as the scary hacktivist group the media liked to portray it. Anyone who comes here expect a certain level of porn and illegal content.

Cred Forums is usually blocked, anyways.

Most people will just jump on their phone instead for it.

>You're dumb.
speak for yourself

ID's was a really popular idea in the last thread and the board /soc/ uses and they been alright (so far for them). If a specific id for each thread was created do you think video game discussions would happen more often on Cred Forums or would there would be more shitposting and derailing?

cool rebuttal

less samefagging

IDs don't do shit for big boards
Just look at this cancer

It would cut down on the false flagging console war threads.

However those type of threads need to be reported and ignored anyways.

nice butt

Do we even have any evidence of samefagging? HARD evidence of it being a problem? Back when moot was our guy, he told us that the traffic for Cred Forums was very similar in the summertime as it was the rest of the year. I don't trust you people to make judgements without evidence.

Trying to fix problems that don't exist is not a wise use of your time.

>babbys first troll post

I bet you think August Underground is some sort of secret club too.

no offense but Cred Forums seems like a containment board now only because there is an actual new board again now.

>no offense but Cred Forums seems like a containment board now
Cred Forums was always a containment board

>people actually BELIEVE that IDs bring QUALITY discussion
hilarious

what's the point of anonymity if it isnt all encompassing?

Here's how to fix Cred Forums:

Split Cred Forums into /vw/ - Western Video Games and /ve/ - Eastern Video Games.
Replace /vp/ with /nin/ - Nintendo.
Add IDs to all boards.
Add r9k filter to all boards.
Ban mobile posting.
Remove flags from all boards but Cred Forums.
Make all boards red boards. Remove /wsr/ and /wsg/.
Split Cred Forums into Cred Forums - Television and /film/ - Films.
Replace /gif/ with /vid/ for gifs, webms, and youtube videos. Allow videos to play right from the catalog in a popup.
Give humanities back to /lit/.
Split Cred Forums into /am/ - Shonen & Seinen and /af/ - Shoujo & Josei.
Remove /m/. Move all mecha to /am/. Move sentai shows to Cred Forums.
Remove /c/ and /cm/. Move all /c/ and /cm/ content to /af/.
Secretly mass ban anyone who posts five times or more on /mlp/ or /trash/ in a single day.
Remove Cred Forums and /lgbt/. Keep /news/. Remove all image posting from /news/. Make it just a text board. Make it where you need to link to a website.
Remove /cgl/ and /soc/. Bring back /con/.
List /qa/ on the top of the site.
Bring back /z/.
Replace /vp/ with /nin/ - Nintendo.
Combine /o/, /out/, and /trv/ into /oat/ - Offline Activities & Traveling.
Combine /cg/ and /3/.

>Ban mobile posting.
lol no

So what was the point of Hiro's thread again?

He literally changed nothing since then...

To give autists a place to scream at each other while he goes to smoke weed and fuck Anri Okita.

How is this thread videogames?

nothing needs to change

you can't stop retards from replying to bait threads and mods shouldn't have to babysit a bunch of idiots 24/7

Hiro allowed a meta thread in every board.

but one with an OP like this?

The image got deleted, why are you complaining?

>b-but it's meta
Still not videogames
Maybe he should just make a sticky with a crosslink

I still see it

>they ACTUALLY deleted OP's image

we /safespace/ now

Well, I want to see your attempts at taking it down.
I think the site owner's decision is above the written rules.

>ID's was a really popular idea in the last thread

No it wasn't you delusional idiot.

refresh the page

If the OP doesn't choose a sensible OP image, then the thread is shit and needs to fuck off. Suffer not the shit poster to live.

>It's common on Cred Forums to have a not video games related thread on Cred Forums by starting one of the following threads.

>1. Post a not video games related image on Cred Forums and post the text "what is a video game that let's me [insert not video games here] ?"
>2. Ask "what is the [insert not video games thing here] of video games?"
>3. Make a vaguely video games related topic yet post a not video games OP image with the intent on making the OP image the topic, rather than the text. This is typically followed by the OP samefagging asking about the OP image to direct the topic into talking about the image rather than the text.

Deep down we all know. It's still fun to pretend.

but what if the anons posting in the thread makes an actual discussion, making the thread worth?

shut the fuck up you anime supporter

>Ban mobile posting.
how?

kys cunt

>this is the people who supports thread IDs

This phrase needs to be an instant permanent ban

Please stop saying words I don't like

How about you shut the fuck up

>anime image got deleted
Good fucking faggot

wow rude

those words need to be an instant permanent ban

about fucking time

You've described every frogposter thread ever made.

Congratulations. They gave the op his (yous) in his shitty bait thread just like he wanted.

>Please stop saying words I don't like
What did he mean by this?

>wow rude
>those words need to be an instant permanent ban

>What did he mean by this?
What did he mean by this?

you didn't answer my question

I don't give a shit about anything other than sound webms.

>board dedicated to gifs is allowed to have sounds
>but boards dedicated to media like telivions, video games, and literally music aren't allowed to have sound

Also the size limit should be bumped up to 5MB. We're not in the poverty age anymore. PCs and browsers can handle more than that, and even with the small size limit, people still make fuck-huge images that lag browsers.

You're fucking stupid if you think I didn't. They are literally designed for (yous). Once the thread gets archived or deleted they make it again. Check the archives and you'll see some of the same topics over and over again.

Then again you're just going to say "that doesn't happen" or some other retarded shit.

>what did they mean by this?
>What are some games where I can ___?
And others meme phrases like these need to be banned for being low quality reposts.

It's literally this rule that gets ignored all the time

6. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

We have the people who do those kinds of post telling you otherwise.

I dont remember the last time i've seen that rule enforced
