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.
kiwifarms is now more welcoming to people of color. we may as well import SA's chat filters. then where will i go to talk about raping nigger jew faggots?
Considering the ease of circumventing these word filters, I'm assuming they exist to trip up newbies that don't know about them so we can laugh at them. That's my best (and probably optimistic) guess, anyway.

Probably annoyed him with that one thread in A&L where people just kept posting the word for pages. I don't care if people use it, but it was the last time I noticed it being used.
