You mods don't need to be so lenient.I don't patricularly care for shitposts one way or the other. But making it a priority to remove all of them makes my job harder and makes it harder for me to hold a good standing among the community.'Shitposting' is such an arbitrary term. Who gets to decide on what constitutes a shitpost?

If you guys seriously ban shitposting have fun killing the site and losing half or more of your active posters.
I may just have a stick up my ass but I'm really sick of the flagrant use of shit like 'nigger' and 'faggot'.

The obvious dumb shit like "cheat is a faggot" or a just a "lol" and then another lol in the post body. I know it's a burden on the moderators which I've refrained from shitposting or being a nuisance (more so than normal >.>) It's shame others don't fucking care that people waste their time cleaning up their bs. Looking at the front page now it's not bad.

Looking at the front page now it's not bad.And say someone makes a thread about some inside joke. Maybe a few members join in because they get it. And then comes along Johnny Whineass to smite the heathens with his criticism and reports, claiming, "Shitpost! Shitpost!"Now here I am stuck with a the dilemma of either removing a thread that doesn't harm anyone, or ignoring someone's reports. Both outcomes having just as much potential as the other to initiate more babbling about 'modbias' and the like. There are countless scenarios where this can arise because there is no real definition for a 'shitpost.' Moderating needs to be objective and consistent as possible and relying on subjective tactics is a major contributor to a large portion of the type of 'staff drama' that seems to circulate around here all too often.
Why do people feel the need to have serious topics and censored discussions in the flood?I honestly don't get it. Someone explain it to me.

But no one gives a shit whether or not you think its funny since humor is completely subjective
Hmm you make a good point I would have thought mods would use their own discretion when deciding whether a thread was bullshit or not. But I guess that's not the best route keeping the community happy. However the community could do with a kick up the arse.
How about this guys.Leave flood alone, allow shot posting to an extent and don't allow all the mean stuff as per usualMake serious serious discussion about anything. An example above is getting serious answers about building a PC and not getting "try Xbox.com"Change gaming to entertainment. This is a board of anime, games, movies, sports and stuff.
I'm curious - would anyone be upset if Gaming were to evolve into an Entertainment board? (TV, Movies, Sports, Games, etc.)
