Articles & Happening Meta Discussion

Articles & Happenings is the third attempt at a news board on the Kiwi Farms. It is a cursed place. Every moderator who has been assigned here has resigned within a year. During 2016, the political crossfire was so bad it spread to different boards and culminated in me banning American news discussion entirely for several months. It has been deleted in its entirety twice. There is no actual discussion here, it's people posting garbage. It leans much further right than the rest of the site and doesn't particularly conduct discussion because dissenting opinions are dogpiled by a thousand memelords posting shit they read on /pol/ without any critical analysis.

The only rules that can be enforced are empirical ones with boolean violation answers. New threads must cite a real source directly and must use the headline of the article as a thread title without any editorializing. Articles must be archived in some way and must link to the original article. Replies that are one word or a reaction images are automatic one-month bans from the board.

I'm creating this now because it seems like this place is here to stay and is one of the largest areas of the entire site. I might as well throw in bare minimum effort to improve it. I don't even try to find mods for here because they will quit, without exception. I've added new prefixes ("Business" and "Crime") just now.

Discuss.


New threads should be made like this.

There's always those special times you managed to really piss a guy off and he rates the entire first page of your comment history "dumb".

There have been speds who spent literally hours trying to do that to someone's entire post history.

That sounds like a victory more than anything else, though.

 

[The Pink Panther]

I want to revenge-rate @AnOminous' whole post history.

 

[Shield Breaker]

I think I know where all of the sticker bitching is coming from: the WuFlu thread. Here's the latest example:

@FuckedUp
Do you not have anything better to do than browse a 618-page thread to rate entire pages of posts "dumb" regardless of content? If you think the virus freakout is dumb and unwarranted, okay my dude, but goddamn. You know you've given that rating to people who are also against the freakout, right? If you wish we'd all chill out, cool, try it out for yourself. Your activity feed is embarrassing.

Wash your hands, don't eat bats, relax and don't get coofed on.

People labeling everything dumb/autistic and those who are upset about the 'bad' stickers.

that thread needs the infected tag

So do people still have rating alerts on? Or do they actively check ratings received? Or do they actually bother to check what ratings others' are getting to see if a single person is doing a bunch of neg rating?

For anyone who truly doesn't care about ratings, I've found it incredibly easy to tune them out. So it amazes me a bit when people start bitching about them.

 

[Rice Is Ready]

100% of all complaints about "revenge ratings" are coming out of this board. Please stop being fucking faggots with your stickers or I'm taking them away.

You won't do it. (Please do it I'm tired of spergs posting on my profile because I negged them)

I leave them on in case I power level.

 

[The Last Stand]

You can get banned for spam stickers? I always put them on Ignore when they did that. I didn't know you can report them for it.

That spam can get annoying.

 

[Ineedahero]

That’s why I laugh whenever some AnHfag says they use AnH as their source of news

We prefer the term anhimals.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Revenge rating sounds like more of a self-inflicted punishment for the guy who does it than for the victim. He wastes a lot of time to do something that doesn't matter.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Again....how does neg rating get us any closer to the final solution to the joos?

 

[Nobunaga]

I fucking called this shit back when this dumpster fire of a thread was started
We should honestly gas the stickerfags and the redditniggers

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

I propose anhalysts. We do kinda dig a little more than the media... sometimes... if we feel like it.

The double meaning of almost sounding like the beginning of annihilation works well too. The haters do like to claim this place destroys everything else.

Account details, preferences, uncheck the box for reactions recieved.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

If I think a comment is dumb or autistic I'll rate it appropriately. Same goes for every other rate.

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

Again....how does neg rating get us any closer to the final solution to the joos?

The Jew is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But negrate him and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been trolled.”

The ones behind the neg rating ARE the kike shills.

I check them if I'm actually looking for feedback but for average shitposts who cares?

 

[whatever I feel like]

I have rating alerts on, its actually positive feedback. I can see which jokes/posts land and which don't. I'm also used to sticking to my guns so I can take a bunch of disagree/dumb/autistics and not be a sperg about it.

The best ones are actually when I post a well reasoned argument that goes against the grain and get no agrees but lots of thunk-fuls. People might not like what I was saying but at least they can respect it.
