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.

In it we see how the left and right have switched places on the order/chaos axis. Just look at the different attitudes to the staff - left wing users didn't like this board's temperament, so they went to the staff for help, meanwhile multiple right wingers are demanding their heads, and just as a matter of due course really, not because the staff are particularly bad or anything. It is basically a microcosm of the internet itself.

Libertarian right was always about chaos and this site has a lot more of that than old school moral majority right.
 
Vaping cannabis extract after a long stent of anal sex with my three husbands before heading to the shooting range to practice shoulder fired missile launches is a natural right.

To serious post for a bit: It's apparently @Null 's policy to never mod someone that asks to be a mod. So really this amounts to never modding someone that really wants to be a mod.

I'm not saying that's a bad policy. It's probably actually a good policy. But then doesn't it stand to reason that they'd burn out rapidly since it's not something they care to do in the first place, particularly on a board that (I assume) probably involves much more modding than the others due to the inherently heated nature of the topics discussed?

Maybe we ought to just accept that being an A&H jannie is a temporary position.

I think Null should just pick users, and threaten to anally rape them if they refuse to become mods.
 
Lots of angry spluttering fash here. Don't worry though: the moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice. We will win and you will weep tears of needless bigotry.

Yes, history has an endpoint, sweetie, if only you silly bigots weren't in the way we'd have gotten to heaven on earth. Reality has a liberal bias, after all. Martin Luther King PBUH believed in this and you will too once you're in our reeducation camps.
