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.

If you scroll right to the bottom of the forum list in the interior subsection you can talk directly to the staff and ask them what is going on. And they will try to help you out even if you storm in there in a huff and flip out incoherently. You probably could have found out exactly who did it and why in a tenth of the time and effort this took.

Secret asshole also had the option of just talking to me or whatever instead of starting with a threat to ban.

I don't have a problem with it, I mostly wanted to know if people cared. Even if I tried I wouldn't remember to flair every post like a redditor. Sorry, I mean prefix.

Besides, this was a lot more fun and a lot less effort.

You expect him to not go straight for the gassing option with that username?

It's like expecting people not to copy your company's ideas when you name it Xerox.

Or expecting people not to attack your store when you name it Target.
 
there should be a tiered rating system... It realy grind my gears if people go on a rating spree without posting anything. thats just spamming the inbox of people who post stuff. id rather have socialist retards posting all of the time than faggots who say nothing but flood your inbox with all kinds of ratings...

So what you're saying is, the thing that would make leftists here and elsewhere happy is something Hitler would have done?

Huh.

You know better than that, what I meant.

Anyways trying to find alternative websites like this in case Null decides to nuke this board as can't find any other places where politics can be discussed without moderators actively trying to delete posts on the reason that it hurt their feelings or disagree with their ideology. Or the "Hate Speech" bullshit which probably outlaws all of Western Civilization at the rate, the loonies on the internet are trying to push it and boomers get scared easily by it.
