Okay, so Hiro said. we can have one meta thread per board discussing how to improve the board

Veeky Forums is actually one of the best boards around hands down. There is no need for change.

this board is 100% shitflinging and 0% good

>Veeky Forums is actually one of the best boards around hands down.
What kind of shitpost is this? The board is full of shitposts, "banter", meetup threads and tripfags and you have the gall to imply that it's better than fucking anything? Even /cgl/ is a better board than Veeky Forums. Veeky Forums is out and out one of the worst, most off-topic, most unknowledgeable boards on the entire fucking site. It's /v/ with cars. Look at /diy/ for christs sake. 99.5% of posts are flatly on topic, there's no shitposting, no trolling, and the vast majority of users are legitimately on the board to learn or do something. Veeky Forums is used as a fucking cesspot by its users and when called out on this behavior they DEFEND IT.

>dude Veeky Forums is SUPPOSED to be awful you just don't get it I've been here all summer

>Veeky Forums is supposed to be good
>i remember when /b/ was good six thousand years ago

>all of Veeky Forums is supposed to be like the newfag filter containment board
I get it. You want to use Veeky Forums as somewhere you can blow off steam and do as you wish. Lots of people do. We literally have specific boards for that. Stop degrading the interest boards.

people need to report posts that need to be reported

the report page needs a comment section to explain things to mods/janitors (that aren't familiar with the board the report came from)

You can take a look at other boards and see how quality they are.
/co/ for instance. Granted I only browsed it back when Samurai Jack was still airing, but in the catalog there were about 7 threads with the same topic, shitposting about shows/companies and also shit in it's pure form:
>"haha benis :3"
I don't browse /diy/ and don't know how active it is compared to Veeky Forums, but this board is still fairly good. Banter and shitposting aside, we still have some quality threads and helpful responses. Yeah sure, we got shit too, but I say it's bearable.

Veeky Forums and /co/ are in the same quality bracket as boards like Veeky Forums, /mu/, /v/ and /sp/. The fast moving boards are all shit, but the users are to blame for this entirely.
>but in the catalog there were about 7 threads with the same topic
This is how an imageboard is supposed to work. Those threads are supposed to serve a single topical purpose and then die. Generals are cancerous and should be avoided at all costs.
>shitposting about shows/companies
Look at this GM fangirl havin' himself a lil meltdown :^)
>also shit in it's pure form:
>>"haha benis :3"
We literally have that here.
>Banter and shitposting aside, we still have some quality threads and helpful responses. Yeah sure, we got shit too, but I say it's bearable.
Barely. There's a ratio close to 1:15 counting useful responses to utter garbage. If you ask a question about a specific thing you're going to get at least nine posts about either unrelated garbage, memes, bait, something about laptimes, or literally alphonse himself before you get one post actually trying to contribute by asking for more information to give a better response. This needs to be fixed.

Keep /pol/ shit in /pol/. I saw a Model T thread devolve into a >KEK GAS THE KIKES thread in less than ten posts.
