Hiro Approved Metathread

What can be done to make Veeky Forums better?

I would have to say that the mods shill chill out. I get banned for talking about food and cooking, while there are usually several Costco Hotdog and McChicken threads up at the same time.

My most recent ban was talking about how brexit would affect British cooking/cuisine. While this may superficially appear to be political, the subject was about food. Tariffs, difficulty finding skilled labour to cook in ethnic restaurants, etc. The thread was definitely food and cooking related, yet I was still banned.

Why not start banning the repeat Costco food court, McChicken, or other numerous shit post threads.

Next post will be the ban screenshot.

Here's the screenshot

Your little footer "NOT POLITICS RELATED" didnt work eh

Ban everyone for shitposting except me.

In fact, give me mod access. You don't even have to pay me.

I agree the mods are a little trigger happy at times, otherwise the board is in good shape. Just enough trolls to keep it entertaining

Take your ban like a man, fagboi, and stop whining. Most people have been banned at one time or another and didn't cry about it.

I got banned for posting meximelts too often.

It actually did for the most part. Sure there were some /pol/fugees shitposting, but there was also a lot of discussion related to whether or not someone from say ethnicity A could ever really cook good food from ethnicity B.

It was not a shit post, and it was related to food and cooking. Do you think talking about plastic levels being excessively high in Kraft Mac&Cheese is also shitposting? That thread was nuked also. Also, I do not want mod access.

>I agree the mods are a little trigger happy at times
Yeah I just wish they would be a bit more level headed when they slam the ban hammer down.

I did.

Yeah I remember that thread, it got derailed quickly (no surprise) because the subject matter attracted spergs from other boards I won't name.

Organize a sticky creation to bring us all together.

Ah yes the hiro-approved metathread that has definitely helped every board its posted on and isnt just retards talking in circles

havent seen one starting with crying about a ban though, good one pussy

rude

Ban veganposting.

Personally I'd rather have extra strict s on a smaller specialized board like this. I can't believe all the racism that remains posted though. Lotta polacks here lately

Your post was fine, I'm just exhibiting my Napoleon complex and drinking my own cum and tears.

When i become mod i will ban anyone who doesnt sage this thread

>I agree the mods are a little trigger happy at times

All of Veeky Forums has really tightened up in the last year or two, and bans have been raining down. They're like that everywhere now. Veeky Forums isn't as bad as other places. Can't even begin to count the bans I've gotten on /aco/ for "off-topic" stuff that was perfectly on-topic.

Just those who post but don't sage or every IP viewing the board?

>I can't believe all the racism that remains posted

Man ... Global Rule #3?
""You will not post any of the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry") or grotesque ("guro") images, post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography.""

This covers 95% of the posts on the Veeky Forums domain. If there was any consistency in enforcement, this board would just die. Maybe we're lucky.

>What's that?? Did you just use a catch phrase that was out of place? BAN!
>Are you stupid and disagreeable? Troll! BAN!
>Did you question someone else in any way? Flamer! BAN!
>LOL? What is LOL? Gibberish! BAN!

Shit makes no sense, honestly.

That is a very good point

Its a gamble

there's a difference between fun shitposting threads and threads that devolve into shitflinging. i wish mods would allow the fun ones but not the other

Fast food general, ban boards that are thinly veiled country v. country shitposting and, like I say for every board I go to, ban anyone who posted on /pol/ in the last week from posting here

>24 hour ban
Whoop de doo, Basil

kys newfriend

Are the rules of "Generals" enforcable? Like, if I post beer in the Coffee General, can a mod come down on me? Or, like, Star Wars junk in the Star Trek General? They seem to take their headers so seriously. I always wondered if I could be banned for off-topic discussion based on a rule made up by whoever made the thread.

What do you mean "can a mod come down on me?"

They could ban anyone for anything, who's going to stop them. It ain't a democracy.

Personally I think we should have a fast food general so that we can spare the rest of the board from countless, low-quality fast food threads.

Ban faggot Texans, edgy contrarians, and shills

Needs moar ice cream

>Personally I think we should have a fast food general so that we can spare the rest of the board from countless, low-quality fast food threads.
Checked. That is a fantastic idea.

Create a sticky with some beginner resources on cooking in order to raise the average knowledge of the posters.

fast food sticky
ban duplicate threads

>What can be done to make Veeky Forums better?

FLAGS!

I want flags, like /sp/ and /pol/.

Mods please ban this leftist faggot again holy shit

The regular vegan thread is fine. It's an example of the mods doing their jobs right, actually. A while back there was an outbreak of vegan spam all over the catalog. That got shut down, as it needed to be.

ban fucking soylent threads

why the fuck are soylent threads, which are blatant advertising, allowed but when someone makes a ja/ck/ thread or a bang's root beer thread it gets deleted? it makes no sense and it's retarded that we let the soylent shills carry on. is hiroshima being paid by soylent to allow their advertising?

stop range banning australians

>we do it for free
They already do nig

>stop range banning australians

No.

Instead, they should include the U.K., as you're both pure cancer.

>banning Muslims

Islamaphobic much?

You are a wholly transparent faggot, but it would be nice if mods actually did something about retardedly spammed meme threads.

Global rule #3 is just a general "we can ban you at any time for being an obnoxious cunt" clause.

...

You're fine OP. The mods wouldn't care if every single thread was a duplicate McDonald's thread. Veeky Forums needs better.
The only people shitposting about you are the very people who post the shit threads

>this guy again
stop shitting up every single board ffs

Honestly, apart from no sticky, Veeky Forums's only problem is that webm threads become Jack dumps which were only really funny the first couple dozen times.

I was in that thread and it was a blatant /pol/ bait thread. You deserved the ban, and frankly I hope you get banned again for posting this thread too, you whiny little bitch.

Thanks for contributing.

Ban faggots like OP who keep shitting threads up because someone's talking about food they don't like
>NOOOO FAST FOOD ISN'T FOOD STOP I WILL NOT ALLOW IT REEEE
Also permaban obsessed yuropoors who think this board is /b/

>Ban Joey posting
>Ban Jack posting
>Allow flags
>Ban /pol/ and false flag /pol/

What does it matter, out of all the meta threads I have seen on this and other boards, nothing happens. Fuck the mods

I remember getting banned for posting the pizza I had just ate in a pizza thread once. That's when I realized the Veeky Forums mods were really on top of their game.

Fuck off

>t. Ameriboo

Sorry you can't come up with meaningful replies beyond le leaf and poo in loo and calling Europeans muslims. If I wanted my fill of those shit tier replies I can go to pol

>t. bitter Ameriboo

Your mother has excessively high dick levels in her

Even if mods ban people for dumb shit, they need to stop being so extreme with it.

Banned from ALL BOARDS for EVER for a thread that could POSSIBLY be taken as a troll, but likely wasn't? I've seen it happen on this board more than any other board, it's kind of nuts

If you think someone might be a shitposter but it's still clearly on topic, a 3 day ban might be in order....or maybe simply a ban from THIS board for a little while, don't fucking pull out the nukes for extremely mild offenses, or possibly imagined offenses

Yeah global bans for shitposting on ck are fucking stupid. I've gotten a few 24hr and one 3 day for something about niggers (it was pretty racist to be fair) but never more than that

>only a 3 day ban for /pol/ shit

Needs to be a permaban desu senpai

>What can be done to make Veeky Forums better?

Heavier moderation and public bans. Veeky Forums was at its best in the Snacks era.

I bet 95% of shitposting is Canadian.

Reminder that "Hiro's approval" was 10 months ago, and hasn't applied for about 9 of those months.
desuarchive.org/qa/thread/675371/#677151

Your intentionally misleading "47 minutes ago" screencap isn't going to fool anybody.

Anything slightly political is going to drag /pol/tards out from their containment board, unfortunately.

That's just where we are.

>can't even be racist on Veeky Forums anymore
What the fuck m8, just a bit of banter. This is why /sp/ is unusable now

Racism being against the rules outside of /b/ has been a rule here for more years than it hasn't been now, it's not some new thing.

The degree mods choose to enforce it however, is up to them. You still see people say racist stuff all the damned time, but occasionally people get popped for it if it seems like the only reason they're posting is to be racist

There's a line between "bit of banter" and "establishing a neo-nazi beachhead" and you crossed it years ago.
The site is crawling with frog-posting Stromfronters who think this is their safe space because they mistook your banter for genuine white power rhetoric.

As much as I love some quality racism, I hate nupol and their frog posting cancer even more. So I'm willing to hold off

The worst is on /a/, I posted an edit of a character from a show that had pixels to make it look like a dick and got a 3 day ban for NSFW. I don't even attempt to push anything anymore with these newshit mods.

Moot really fucked us when he got a hard on for that fat chick

There really is no way to fix this board besides just removing it altogether. Most of this board is just shitposters with only a small margin here to talk about food and cooking in a non-shitposty way.

Regardless, it's foreign.

Only a truly pathetic individual would spend hours a day on a foreign website, as do the Ameriboos that pollute Veeky Forums, and Veeky Forums, in general.

Flags demonstrate that fact.

>There really is no way to fix this board

Bullshit.

It's extremely easy to see the cancerous posts on Veeky Forums and cut it the fuck out.

Fuck off with your bullshit.

Name one board that isn't like that

>cut it the fuck out'
>getting a shitposter to stop in any way

had me a good laugh there

Unfortunately I couldn't. This board is a proper reflection of the entire website at this point.

I hear you about the Brexit shit.

I used to drive up to Jungle Jims and raid their english section. But now things got flat out fucking crazy. Like a box of meat pies? 21.00 USD up from 10.00 USD. Bangers went up to about 12.00 USD.

I genuinely would like to see a percentage of Veeky Forumss posters that originate from reddit.

i'm not foreign retard, you're foreign. i'm from here

I got banned about talking about what food is good to vomit

if talking about eating food is allowed, I don't get why eating food in reverse can't be allowed

This. Also, as long as the vegan threads stay Veeky Forums related and don't into political shit posting.

>What can be done to make Veeky Forums better?
Ban all the europoors. None of them contribute anything, all they do is shit up the board and try to make this place /b/.

>yurop is a single place where everyone thinks the same
>burgerland is a single place where everyone thinks the same
>chinkland is a single place where everyone thinks the same
>/pol/ is a single place where everyone thinks the same
>Veeky Forums is a single place where everyone thinks the same

All of these statements are demonstrably false and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I am fascinated by that subject, the mods have invoked my wrath by banning you. I wish I had heard of this sooner. Fear not, unsung hero, for I am going to wreck some shit.

>Makes a clearly political thread
>Unironically uses the term /pol/fugees

This is why your thread was deleted

>I agree the mods are a little trigger happy at times

lol, son. The mods are asleep at the wheel. Bring back snacks.

>It's extremely easy to see the cancerous posts on Veeky Forums and cut it the fuck out.
Exactly. There are currently 7 Costco hot dog threads in the catalog.

should have let the poo thread stay up.
poo is just heavily processed food.

i didn't even get to complain about my poos ;_;

The lack of moderation site wide is pretty unsettling.

Ban meta threads.

Idk what it is, but mods have really been Nazis lately. I got banned on /a/ the other day for something similar. ("off topic" post, but really it was related to the topic in the OP of the thread and responding to other comments.)

It might be that the mods have more time on their hands since school's out for the summer.

>It might be that the mods have more time on their hands since school's out for the summer.
or maybe they have less patience since it is summer

i just want all the pol shit to stay on pol

I'm a crossboarder, I won't say from where all but what I see when I browse Veeky Forums is worlds better than some of the other boards. /tv/ is a warzone between liberals and stormfront and /a/ is suffering a divide between the oldfags and the new pieces of shit who spend all their time breaking /a/'s unwritten rules. /g/ is just paid shills from all sides. Veeky Forums doesn't need changing. You guys talk about food mostly. A little shitposting is normal and cheese pizza keeps the normalfags at bay.

Veeky Forums is trash but it's better than most boards even with all the fast food threads

there are ebs and flows of extra hard fast food posting and the board definitely gets better when they're the minority

unfortunately I think a lot of people come here from other boards and dont actually care/know about cooking and food beyond fast food so that it makes it difficult

No, I don't think so. If the topic of your post is still relevant to Veeky Forums, and not a blatant attempt to subvert a global rule, it's not off-topic. People might think you're a dick for derailing a thread though. Conversation is fluid, but I guess it could happen if you really come across to a mod like a total douche-troll.

"fixing" a board is up to it's posters. You can't depend on moderation for every little thing. Instead, learn how to either filter or ignore shitposting.

There's about 10 threads at any given time here that should be deleted and everyone in them banned. You'd think a mod could at least do some occasional maintenance to get these assholes trained to do their retarded shitposting on /b/

You're triggered. Ignore the shit and hide it, quit bitching either way.

Thissss

I unironically enjoy how much of a shitshow this board is. The terrible memes, the low-effort kind-of-on-topic-but-not-really shitposting, the endless debates on silly topics (is le hot dog a le sandwich?). When you stop taking Veeky Forums so seriously, it becomes so much more enjoyable.

I wouldn't change a thing. You can just hide the shitpost-y threads anyway.
