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.

Neg-rates are the best part of the Farms because it means you either made someone pants-shittingly butt-mad or you're being a fucking idiot. Both of these things tend to be very entertaining.

Gonna stop you right there, making people butt-hurt on the internet might be fun*.

But Horrifying people/Grossing them out is better so Islamic and Horrifying ratings are better than the Negative ones.


*Dear Pokefags : No amount of "dumb" ratings will change the fact that Hoenn is fucking trash.

God why is this about stickers again?

If someone constantly gives you bad stickers, and they never actually contribute to any discussion you were in at large, then you should just recognize them as either a low-effort baiter, or a faggot assmad about differing opinions yet too unwilling/unable to actually argue his own views, and you should ignore them.

It was always about stickers, the dogpiling and circlrjerk shit were just excuses
 
You fags may deny it, but stickers are an integral part of the identity of this site because of their unique designs, values, and uses.

Whether you had a positive or negative ratings coming at your way used to be what separated the Kiwi Chads and the Halal'd.

thats clear, but what about people who just up vote me? do they want dick pics from me?
 
Ratings should have a pint scale system associated to them. There are twenty ratings (not including the trophy) have it 10 to 1 then -1 to -10. Generate user rankings scores.

But change the rating to score mapping every week or so. That way we can see who actually pays attention and make fun of them for caring after they randomly started sprinkling "late" ratings everywhere, or something similar.

Then we can do like fantasy football scoring and drafts but for shitposting
 
Look, we bully fucking retards at the Kiwifarms. Get fucking used to it. If you're a moron, you're going to get deluged with stickers. There are no problems with stickers. I've gotten plenty of autistic and mad at internet stickers.

We're also very passive aggressive. So it allows for that too. If you're looking for 'plz no bully' get the fuck off of my board.
