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.

 

[The Last Stand]

Psst. That is what we call "a joke."

The joke was him. I thought I state the obvious tho with him. It was funny tho.

Ever since @It's HK-47 took over as Supervisor, the board has improved a bit. It's not as spergy as it used to be. More natural discussion. I only hope it doesn't get to him as the last supervisors.

Read and understand, you clueless git: No one has to explain to your sperg ass why you're not wanted here. The ban spoke for itself. The vote was hilariously one-sided.

You're like Bryan Dunn crossed with Potsie from Happy Days. You won't go away, yet you'll never do anything that makes us want you to stay.

Might I recommend speaking for yourself?

Also, don't lie. Keep plus abstain combined were more than ban.

Al;so, don't lie. Keep plus abstain combined were more than ban.

Next you're going to complain about the Electoral College.

Take the L and move on.

Not even a majority voted to ban.

Whoa, careful now. Soon you'll be complaining about the Electoral College, apparently.

Of those who cared enough to take a side, a full 50% more voted to ban than to keep. I'd call that pretty unbalanced.

 

[Unog]

To be fair, before I tard raged about it I tried several times to find out about whether it was a perma ban or not.

It's very funny to see the warped version of cdmp that some people have a grudge against. I'm a weird political Boogeyman who has strong opinions about thorium(where did that come from?)

Also weird: whenever I do this I get an autistic or dumb rating from certain posters like seconds after my first post.

@The Last Stand is my sock, btw. Can't believe you haven't figured that out yet ;p

 

[X Prime]

No no, he should keep doing it. Some of you are invested in him not being able to post, it's great.

 

[LocalFireDept]

I voted to ban CDMP because he was a total sperg and it wold be funny to ban him and I was right. His ban is the gift that keeps on giving.

"Pretty" unbalanced. Maybe it's a matter of taste but "hilariously" seems pretty overstated.

 

[Buster O'Keefe]

They came for Corbin and I did nothing because...

"Pretty" unbalanced. Maybe it's a matter of taste but "hilariously" seems pretty overstated.

That's a fair observation. I'll go with "adequately".

It was 60-40 if you ignore the abstains. This was my objection as well, it feels like some people get mad whenever he shows up and start exaggerating.

Personally, I think of it like the appearance of an old meme. Good for chuckles.

"hilariously" overstated. Maybe it's a matter of taste but "pretty" seems partially understated.

 

[Nobunaga]

I find it pathetic how you retards keep seething and are totally not mad every time corbin is mentioned
It has been some time since the guy got banned like you wanted, so let it go jesus

 

[AprilRains]

Wow, it's like the worst of A&H came together to declare Corbin hilarious.

You can pretend to be serious, guys, but you can't pretend to be funny.

Some say that, even now, the Dread Pirate Corbin is posting under a sockpuppet account that no one has yet discovered.

Agents are working around the clock to eradicate this terrible threat to AnH safety.

Only by presidential election standards. A substantial minority voted no.

Damn it, I knew someone was gonna go there. Lol!
