Don't delete this thread, janitors and mods, it's within the rules Hiro outlined.
There are principally two things killing Veeky Forums that no one is addressing;
1. Threads which have no relation to Veeky Forums e.g. "What is purpose?" and "Is x drug Veeky Forums?"
2. Beginner threads e.g. "Is this worth reading?" "What does Veeky Forums think of x?" and "What is some x literature?"
In order to restore Veeky Forums to its former glory, every single thread which breaks these rules must be deleted and a message given to the poster saying "not Veeky Forums" or "read the sticky"
I suggest the janitors start doing their job and implement fascist order (who cares if the threads decrease) and institute a culture of high quality posts.
And before any newfags or people from Ribbit start crying, kill yourselves!
Andrew Ross
Perhaps one or two designated threads for the less experienced readers could be useful in deterring those posts
A metathread too maybe but that isn't very necessary
Jacob Gonzalez
They've stepped their game up significantly, in fairness.
I have received numerous bans for posting anti-Semitic/woman-hate/race bait threads over the last month or so
William Perry
>2. Beginner threads e.g. "Is this worth reading?" "What does Veeky Forums think of x?" and "What is some x literature?"
Nothing wrong with this because you can't cover everything in sticky.
Robert Gutierrez
How about a 'questions that don't deserve their own thread' post? Those seem very successful in other boards
Charles Anderson
I started one last week. It hit 25 replies and died.
Austin Williams
yeah I got banned for posting a thread of mira and writing VOICE OF OUR GENERATION.
Daniel Perry
>not addressing the Reddit problem
I think I know who is behind OP's post...
Joseph Kelly
Back to /r/The_Donald you go.
Blake Martinez
Go back to Rebbit, faggot. You're the cancer that's been slowly killing this board for months now.
Jaxson Lopez
how about you let users decide which posts to reply to
Landon Phillips
Except it is not up to the board whether it is 'worth' reading something.
Secondly, if you want to discuss a book, actually discuss it instead of being such a loser that you ask Veeky Forums first what their opinion is.
Thirdly, the sticky covers a good deal and if you can't find a particular genre of books in the sticky, either Google, maybe make a thread and afterwards create a chart for that genre so no one has to ask again.
Benjamin Smith
Yeah, I'm the cancer, not newfag beginners like yourself who post le donald memes.
Neck yourself.
Because as evidence by the past two years, it amounts to beginners and newbies taking over the board constantly replying to each other.
Lincoln Hernandez
>And before any newfags or people from Ribbit start crying, kill yourselves! Wow, I was going to disagree with you but now I can't.
Jaxon Hernandez
>muh fascism if you say that with freedom the board is shit then the board won't be good with stricter rules. just go
Alexander Nelson
>beginners and newbies ... constantly replying to each other. This has always been the case with every Veeky Forums board. Things were never better, don't delude yourself.
Samuel Mitchell
Nice reddit revisionism.
Go back to where you came from.
Kill yourself.
The rules outlined in the OP are ALREADY part of the rules. IT IS ALREADY PART of the rules that you should go to the Sticky first.
>Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.
Neck yourself.
Gavin Brown

Socialist cucks need to go.
There's nothing else to do.
You guys don't belong in Veeky Forums and never did.
Zachary Fisher
What are you talking about?
Why are you bringing up Socialism?
Mentally ill, retard.
Blake Rogers
>tfw I just typed out the entire story of me nearly getting raped which I have never told anyone the full story of to tell an user about but the thread was pruned for being off-topic as I was typing >I will never get this off my chest
Gavin Richardson
>What are you talking about?
This thread is titled "the cancer killing Veeky Forums".
They are the cancer killing Veeky Forums.
Kill yourself, but get outta here first.
Jaxon Murphy
Except it is fags like you killing Veeky Forums by randomly bringing up political ideologies out of nowhere.
You do realize you are pathologically ill, correct? Thanks.
Matthew Roberts
3. Reddit said there will be a Marxist boogeyman invasion so let's start off-topic threads about feminism and MDE discussion every 2 hours and join the /pol/lacks sharing their ideologically nuanced and rhetorically brilliant beliefs. That will show those cucks!
Julian Sanchez
you can tell me how your gf tried to rape you
Luke Foster
so has anybody ever read Ghost Fleet my 13 y/o brother got it for me for Christmas
James Roberts
kek this
Zachary Martinez
>getting raped Kek
Julian Nguyen
Why do your opinions matter at all?
Jason Lewis
Because I am better than you and have read 743 books in my lifetime.
Many of them collected works.
Tyler White
Have you ever read any works that pertain to controlling your ego?
Lucas Ross
>only three digit read count
back to plebbit with you
Daniel Lee
Why yes.
Camden Reed
The cancer killing Veeky Forums consists of meme posters and /pol/ visitors. It's fucking annoying that some people seem to be only capable of writing in memes and /pol/ people usually hide behind irony or sarcasm to criticize others opinions and feel superior, while actually never giving an opinion or exposing their true tastes.
Camden Myers
Cuck detected. Did your wife's son help you come up with that post? Gas yourself, degenerate.
Bentley White
>out of nowhere.
I think what's ruining Veeky Forums is people lacking even the most basic reading comprehension, like you.
Since you lack the capacity to even use association, I'd suggest leaving this board and then killing yourself.
Kevin Cook
You do understand that this opinion is also a meme.
Samuel Nelson
Although you are obviously trolling, your post exemplifies perfectly the kind of post coming from /pol/.
Colton Howard
Retard, I kill myself daily by visiting this board.
Ryan Bennett
unironically this
Kevin Gray
The difference is that I'm being honest. To be a meme is not bad per se. There are a lot of books considered memes around here; but that only means they are mentioned ad nauseam (attached to meme opinions about them), doesn't mean they suck.
Liam Green
All of you are wrong.
OP is correct, the only problem is newfags, we have to return to the principles of lurk moar. t. not op
Blake Thomas
Posting memes sucks when you obviously are doing it because they are memes, not because you agree.
Colton Long
this, mods here delete way too much
Samuel Evans
So we should have only threads like this for example? Actual shitposts that have the usefulness of a stone? I mean, I definitely prefer to read a "What does Veeky Forums think of x" thread instead of a fucking dissertation ABOUT SEMICOLONS, marks that everyone has used since literature exists. Fuck you all, this board sometimes is insufferable
Kayden Reed
>mods here delete way too much
Back to ribbit you go.
Pleb.
Aaron Brown
Useful to writers. Veeky Forums is a board for literature appreciation and for the discussion of writing. Is there anything more proper?
Sebastian Foster
fucking retards.
John Hill
You're a pleb who doesn't read books.
Go back to where you came from.
Ayden Ward
Fuck off reddit, and take your all caps with you.
Asher Fisher
>Except it is not up to the board whether it is 'worth' reading something.
Thats mostly all Veeky Forums talks about
Carson Cruz
>The difference is that I'm being honest. >this is a semantically sensical statement
Dylan Wood
And that is why if I were a mod, 90% of threads on Veeky Forums would be eradicated. :)
Brayden Flores
I ironically made posts saying I was a pedophile yesterday and I didn't even get banned Please ban me I have homework to do and not enough willpower to stop using this site
Matthew Diaz
Criticism without an argument.
Brody Price
>not an argument
Dylan Ortiz
there is literary nothing wrong with pedophilia
Carter Myers
Have you ever written your own opinion about anything or do you always use sarcasm and irony to avoid letting out what you think?
Jordan Stewart
please ban me please im gonna report myself
Jeremiah Kelly
yes and yes
Robert Barnes
Does this give you joy?
Matthew Long
Absolutely this. Its the cancer killing the culture on a lot of boards. Half of Veeky Forums is just /r9k/ and /pol/ shitposts now.
