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.

 

[OwO What's This?]

LOL that you think A&H is for seriousposting.

there's nothing wrong with seriousposting, hell some of my best friends are seriousposts

These two statements are contradictory.

no lol

Shitting up a thread, about people shitting up threads, while bitching about people shitting up threads.

Pretty meta.

Maybe you guys should do a little self reflecting if a lot of other members including staff doesn’t want this sub forum around because when it’s all said and done you can bitch, cry and sperg a much as your want but when dear leader says you’re gone you’re gone.

This board can be fun and I like the thunder dome aspect of it but some of you guys are pathologically obsessed with defending this board and it’s turning you into faggots. If you wanna keep it you gotta change or don’t and see what happens idc which

Pretty meta.

it's like poetry it rhymes

well yes but also they're not contradictory

self-policing would curb the baseline behavior (a grassroots approach) and what's left is culled through enforcement (a top-down approach)

if you start with the top-down approach you will need to increase the amount of enforcers and you'll have a lot more mods than necessary once the problem is taken care of, and an overabundance of mods on forums tends to be a bad thing

Seeing as how its been 3 times the same shit has played out lets establish a pattern

1. Null gets mad at A&H because X
2. He threatens to delete the board
3. People tell him thats a bad idea and to calm down
4. Nool goes back to jerking off to his feeder porn
5. People discuss ways to improve the board for a few posts
6. Faggots with an axe to grind with A&H crawl from their holes to celebrate
7. The regulars tell them that if they have nothing to say fuck off
8. Lol hoes mad, says the faggot while going back to their circlejerk to complain about drumpft and A&H with tears and butthurt
9. Nothing gets done in the end and shit continues the same
10. ??????
11. Repeat first step
12. Profit

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

I mean, I did. It has become clear to me that it is not now, and that makes me a bit sad, but ya know, I guess having an even bigger shitpost mine than DT isn't so bad.

It's basically educated shit-posting to be fair, you gotta be able to state your case in a funny or intelligent manner. If you can do one or the other you tend to get respect.

Mayhaps we actually do something, then, or is it not just me that's the faggot here?

I'm just gonna keep it 100 with you, I rarely see anything with more effort than 'niggers lmao'. Maybe it's the threads I'm visiting, maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I am swamped with low-effort crap. If you can give me some funny OC joke about the coming mayocide, I'll fetch up a chuckle. But all I see is 'this is proof whites are being genocided' instead.

Effort please god.

No, the real problem is that everyone has a block function on this site that works pretty damn well. This entire argument is exceptional and this "problem" could be solved by a notice on the front page informing everyone how it works, and that if you want to have posters you consistently can't stand scrubbed out of the threads you like, make an account.

It's not really about user behaviour and self-control over what one sees though. If people talk about why Yaniv is the way he is and why he gets away with what he does on a publicly spidered page, that's a liability. In a way that talking about why a particular gypsy is the way they are would not be a problem (although, discussing why European countries are forced to tolerate them and who is behind that would be).

you hitler folx are being silly billies, if null really wanted this forum gone he'd make me its moderator

I mean, I disagree that it would be a problem, so long as it's presented intelligently and with the intent to discuss or add to a conversation, rather than just loudspeaker out a 'HEY I DON'T LIKE X'

All smart people stopped reading here because lol who the hell cares what staffers think?

yes, most people who whine about this subforum, especially null, have stated that being jewish is probably why yaniv has gotten away with his bullshit for so long

I personally don't mind it if it's being presented intelligently, though.

Yes for me: "Yaniv, being as he is a minority, is going to get a pass from the extremely liberal Canadian justice system for much longer than a caucasian might"

Annoys me: "(((They're))) keeping (((Yaniv))) out of prison"

You have not provided an answer to the previously-presented problem of what constitutes "adding to a conversation."

You're just going around-and-around saying the same thing in a different manner, which boils down to "the discussion isn't intellectual in the way I like."

 

[Nobunaga]

I mean what can you even do to fix it this time?
If someone posts off topic shit then just report and move on
Unless you think its aproppiate to say i dunno start sperging about DSP in the chris chan board, same shit applys here

 

[Unog]

This board can be fun and I like the thunder dome aspect of it but some of you guys are pathologically obsessed with defending this board and it’s turning you into faggots.

If anyone's pathologically obsessed, it's the people who keep caterwauling about A&H being a wretched hive of scum and villainy den of skinheaded neon yahtzees when it's mostly comprised of people somewhere near the center with the odd outlier, and how it's about making a home here A&H needs to be shut down or heavily moderated elsewise the mystical Elder Kiwis are going to return to their home planet or some shit.

Maybe let’s not give nool a reason to delete it.

The reason all of this shit is happening in the first place is due to the people who hate A&H for whatever ridiculous reason. The forum is already moderated now, and it's no longer visible unless you're logged in.

It was already fucking retarded to suggest that A&H is the reason (apparently literally) all of the /pol/ spergs come to the farms, but it's even more ridiculous to do so now. It's as if everyone's forgetting that explicitly political, left-wing lolcows and groups on this site exist that would draw them in on their own.

I mean, yeah. That's what I've been saying. I have a different standard for what adds to the conversation than others, I'll freely admit that.

In the definition I understand, it's 'does not stray from the topic of the conversation, presents the information in an intelligent and constructed manner, and keeps with the spirit of the conversation up to that point, regardless of the content of it.'

It's not the way I like it, aye, but it's not just me.
