Still feel the same. Any logic used to ban 20% of shitposts can be used to ban 50% or 70% or 100%. There are no good or bad shitposts. There's just shitposting. The Flood should not be about discussion value it should be about fun.
But you can have fun with discussion value. Sports, movies, cars, etc. Not everything has to be "lol niggers" this and "fuck faggots" that
Yes lets talk about our favorite movies for the 12th time. Fun.
There's a reason this place dies when anarchy is up.
Shitposting is exactly why I never post any threads of value in the Flood, because I know it'll just turn into a pile of shit if I try to discuss anything.
::) If your threads are not generating good discussion its because your threads are boring. Killing off other threads is not going to help you, and this vote will not change derailing shitposts regardless. That will be later on when you all complain more.

I wouldn't know anymore, because I gave up on it. I keep anything discussion-worthy in Serious.

I... actually feel the same way. Maybe Flood does need some more moderation...

It sort of does >.>

This is more like weeding a garden than blitzing it with weedkiller. Good shitposts will be fine, despite the oxymoron <.< It's just the... ehh stuff that's spam but without the quantity is the one facing the axe >.>

Good shitposts
Honestly, what is a good shitpost? If you can label it as good then someone else can just as easily label it as bad.

And then who do I decide to please?

It's more of a discussable/not discussable indicator.
If there is *something* to discuss then even if it's 'bad' it's fine. If there is truly nothing to discuss, without derailing a thread to talk about something else then that's what would be a bad one <.<

Yes, this shit runs both ways! :D

He can do all the fancy formal wording bollocks and I can talk like a human. Mostly.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Other - my proposed system was in the other thread and I lack the effort to ppst it again.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
"Bad" is kind of vague, no? If the first option were implemented, you'd need to word the rule very precisely on what's acceptable and what isn't.

  • As suggested by Dustin, this option would put an icon (For example, a skull/crossbones" next threads indicated, either by the OP or staff, as shitposting. Users who would not want to see these threads would have the option to hide them.
That was actually my idea. Thanks.

If that's all you can come up with for a topic of discussion, the same small talky shit over and over again, then maybe forums aren't for you. Maybe when you're done going through puberty, you'll look back on these posts and laugh at how immature you used to be.

Really? Is this the thread you want us to have our fun times in?
Anarchy is open m8 we don't need to derail the rule poll and create a headache for the mods. Better yet you could hit me up on skype chat.

And I wasn't the one suggesting that for a topic. Reading comprehension.

Ok then buddy. I'll leave the petty stuff here since this should be a place to discuss teh rule change. You know how to contact me if you want to deal with our fun baggage.  ;)

Hmm...
Here's your post, Irish:

Tag the offending shiposts with a turd icon and void the post count for that thread.
Doesn't remove the thread, but tells others it's shit, and posting in it won't change your or the OP's post count. (If possible to code in)

Regardless of what is chosen, give us also a clear cut definition of a shit shitpost so people can't argue over it or #modbias stuff.  I'd give my opinion on what is completely pointless being here but thats for a later thread.

EDIT: Why are people trying to argue it'll drive activity down? Shitposting is exactly that, and if activity takes a dive it's a problem with US, not the Forum.

Are you serious? Take a look at some of the shit these kids post.

Anyway, I've come to regard option one and option three as almost the exact same thing in regards to me, and as Sigma said, I don't think I'll be affected by this at all :)

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
deleting threads will result in a violent clash of outcry, you will surely lose followers.
