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.

Quality of trolling isn't really good tho.

No, but the entire point is to get people to respond. In that sense it is successful.

They did the exact same thing in Weeb Wars, go ahead and run a search of the subforums for their posts there under the Search Threads tab if you like.

If you think making fun of weeb wars re-tards is trolling then you don't seem to realize the point of this website. That whole subforum is/was a lolcow and incredibly pathetic. Everything I say, I actually believe, that's not trolling .

 

[Arm Pit Cream]

He's just trolling, rather successfully at that. He let the mask slip in chat once while he was doing a similar contrarian schitck in Weeb Wars, before he started this current "commie in AnH" gimmick.

It's increasingly getting harder to take you even a little bit seriously and to not see you as anything but a bad faith actor.

Well yeah, that's the entire point: to be annoying.

At the time they claimed they were trolling Weeb Wars because they didn't like how much of a "circlejerk" it was, if memory serves.

wow somebody who hates anime and weebs would go to weeb wars to call out the stupid cult of personality that bloomed last year?
How is that trolling? Are you really that big of a snowflake?

But let's say thats real for second, Tuscan made 1 post on WW before she went full commieposter and the rest of her posts consistently show the same kind of disappointment.
I have no clue how that applies to this schizo theory you came up with. Please point me to these pro Vic posts Tuscan made.

you're correct about weebwars,m it's a lolcow farm of autists just barely higher functioning than sonichu fans

 

[mr.moon1488]

Lol even if @tuscangarder isn't trolling, I don't know why anyone would want him gone. Politics without a few extremes on either side is just boring.

That's quite true. Shame it's not like Ashy, who is interesting and periodically right.

 

[It's HK-47]

Seriously why do the two of you continually show up in all the same threads at the same time

Horseshoe theory is now bending the fabric of time and space.

The signal boosting of compatible posting gimmicks, why else?

Perhaps it's the same person with multiple devices at once. Or love at first sight.

I made the same joke once, and they bitched about it for weeks.

 

[The Pink Panther]

no way if you argue with the gimmickposting faggot you'll totally convince him to change

i mean you can try

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Everyday we stray further from God and figuring out how to restore the board N word pass....instead we're arguing about who's the bit poster

 

[Begemot]

@tuscangarder pissing off the partisan sub-humans in the weebwars subforum is based and...uh..redpilled. They are the most baitable fools on this site.

Breaking News

1. This is a SFW board, so be courteous and spoiler NSFW content. 2. Provide a link in your OP to an article when possible. 3. Don't post shit threads with unrelated softcore porn in the OP.

For those interested. I'm not planning on closing this board, but I'd be interested in seeing how the political elements on this board would fare on an imageboard. I'm probably getting HK-47 over as a mod at some point.

 

[The Pink Panther]

So basically, it's gonna be just like Halfchan's /news/ board which is basically /centristpol/

I just ask for a link for each thread. Don't care where the wind takes it.

that already exists on 4chan /pol/, no?
a forum with accounts (like this one) makes moderation possible, and kiwi mods are doing a really nice job overall, so the content and discussion is a bit higher quality than on an anonymous imageboard where everything just degenerates into mindless shitposting and moderation has no way to really deal with it.

If you've ever used 4/pol/ you'd know what its faults are beyond accounts. I do intend to moderate it.

/pol/ was created as a containment board after stormfront ｎｉｇｇｅｒｓ kept chimping out and shitting on the floors of /k/ and iirc /news/ whereas this sounds like a tabula rasa
