Veeky Forums suggestions general

What became of the proposed sticky that was being written for Veeky Forums?
I know some of you guys in the IRC community had come up with a guide for some objective cooking techniques (I guess the basics never change) and a good article on knife care.
Will it be published, think we really need it?
There was also a suggestion that the board should be split into two distinct entities, /fo/ for the fast food kiddies and chain restaurant stuff and Veeky Forums for people with a genuine interest in cooking. I suppose naturally this would leave /tv/ open for the YouTube 'celebrity' crowd and the bandwidth wasting .webm threads?
What do you guys think?

which of those be the one that the autistic retards from /pol/ will invade?

I unsure about the split on the sole basis that Veeky Forums is slow as hell as it is. Would a dedicated cooking board increase traffic?

All Veeky Forums needs to not be so fucking terrible are flags, forced persistent ID, and removing the ability to post webms.
Veeky Forums is slow as all hell even with the fastfood threads and objectively terrible memes. Splitting the board would be fucking retarded.

>all Veeky Forums needs to not be so fucking terrible are things that reduce anonymity

Go back to a website called Reddit

This boards biggest problems are shitposting, bait, and "e-celeb" webms.
Flags stop the samefagging OBSESSED and Does Country Actually Do Thing threads.
Forced persistent IDs kills shitposting and bait through being able to filter by ID.
Killing webms wouldn't be enough, need to filter youtube links as spam too. Fuck your jack and joey threads. Fuck you for making me even know who they are.

I tend to agree about the YouTube bullshit. Splitting the board may well reduce traffic in actual cooking but I bet it'd be higher quality posts.
I think the IRC guys are a Reddit tier circle jerk, though. Self appointed guardians of Veeky Forums standards.

you might have an intolerance to eggs

that's kind of how it starts

try not eating eggs for a few days and see if it clears up

>which of those be the one that the autistic retards from /pol/ will invade?
That's every board

We have always been here. It's not our fault most of you don't see what the real problem is...

You're still here? Kill yourself

Honestly, what we really need here is better moderation and removing threads which are just off topic shitposting and derailing
>for me its xxx
>why aren't you vegan / vegetarian
>what should I get from [insert fast food place here]
>I'll have xxx
>anything about tipping
>'go 'za
>is xxx a meme
etc

>kill yourself
This is Veeky Forums. If you don't like the way we do things on our board feel free to return to /v/, /tv/ or what ever sub-educational hell hole you came from.

This desu
I agree with this, no need to go full police state but goddamn do we need a quality filter.

You solely whining about a sticky for the last year is hardly how "we" do things

>our board

You mean discuss which pizza toppings you fat autists prefer? Which weeb food is better than other weeb food? How big of a pretentious coffee/whiskey/craft beer snob you are? Or maybe you just want to defend your horrible cooking?

I only post quality and I don't shit-post, ever.
Why don't YOU try contributing something of worth for the first time in your cancerous life?

Relax, he's just doing it for the (You)s. He knows full well nobody wants a sticky. He probably doesn't even want one himself, otherwise he couldn't get (You)s so easily.

Who cares about "bandwidth wasting .webm threads"? Why does this bother you?

Newfags with a little bit of time on Veeky Forums under their belt try to act like little Nazis, pushing for stickies, rules, etc.

I've been on Veeky Forums for about 8 years. It's always been a matter of sifting through shit to find the odd diamond. Yes, memes and forced shit are more prevalent now, but that's because of the overall popularity of Veeky Forums.

Get over yourselves and find a more strict image/msg board if you want rules and content regulations. Otherwise, suck it up, there is a reason you are on Veeky Forums.

This what is this shit posting all about ?
Trafficking ? of some kind ?

>nobody wants a sticky
Might want to check the IRC there, Joe.
No need to be an eternal outsider.

It's fucking hilarious

The problem with this logic is that unless it's part of the board rules, the mods can selectively apply unwritten rules to enforce a personal agenda, which already happens. Even if you post a well-written, sincere opinion on a topic, you can get a 3 day ban for "Trolls/racism/off-topic replies... blah blah blah pornography" even though it was completely on topic, in no way related to race or politics, and not written with the intent to gratuitously provoke.

Mods should enforce board rules and ban for blatant shitposting, but otherwise it should be a free-for-all. If unwritten rules are to reign supreme, and upvotes/downvotes are the name of the game, then there's another site for that and it's called reddit (not that I have any problem with reddit, but it's a different design for a different set of expectations). I came here for Veeky Forums, and I'll live with the fast food crap and 'go 'za if it means no persistent identity and no upboats. I also have multiple reddit accounts as of 2 or 3 years ago because the logic for moderation is more transparent there, compared to the way things have been around here for the last few years (regular on Veeky Forums since 2006). If some butthurt mod bans you from a subreddit it's usually either because a shit-tier sub run by one idiot, or it's an echo chamber political sub.

Range ban Australia and 98% of the shitposting would disappear.

Isnt pol the most popular board by a huge margin? Last I heard it was like 2m unique visitors daily

Fuck off. Quit acting like there is ever a thread on here that isn't a shitpost, fast food or candy thread, or some dumb fuck doing something that will probably end up poisoning him. It's not like I'm the one to blame for the pathetic state of the board. What did you do to stop the invasion? Tell /pol/ to fuck off? You didn't even know who the real invaders were. There was a time when we always had multiple oc threads, cook alongs, and recipe contests. Now it's just sugar addicted autists and vegan propaganda. People talking about what ethnic food is best. It's too late to be saved. There is no hope of ever making Veeky Forums great again, not that it was ever all that great to begin with...

I for one would like to see a Veeky Forums cookbook, given that we have users across the world able to contribute local cuisine and techniques. Starting with really simple meals and progressing toward difficult techniques, ingredients ect. Something outlining nutrient values, origin of food, and tips would be awesome.
Maybe some knife buying/maintainance/use guides from those weebs
I would be willing to contribute however necessary

As for moderation, I don't think banning the autismos, fat cunts, weebs, and other degenerates would do a hell of a lot, beyond emptying the board and leaving a hole for something worse (god forbid)
The solution would be people who have a clue disussing food and drink, but there is a greater chance of Trump being elected.

We tried with the Booru and it turned to shit.
The number 1 recipe on there is Big Mac sauce, for fucks sake.

Kill yourself, tripfag

Sorry to hear that. I will type up some of my super simple recipes and save some from here with the aim of compliling, then start a rolling thread to see if there is any chance.
If anyone is whatsoever interested, hit me up at

Also if the big mac sauce tastes good, why the hell not?
