Veeky Forums meta thread

/plebbit/ lowered the amount of hostile posts but also dumbed down the conversations. /tv/ keeps posting not-Veeky Forums threads.

The /crit/ threads are slightly better than they used to be

redpill

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?

shitposting philosophags and religious shits. they both need their own containment holes in the faint hope they'll stop crapping up lit with garbage like "does existence precede essence?"

i wouldn't be sad if they took all the philip k dick fans with them, but that's just me.

Needs more poetry on the board

Critique threads are going well

The right wing posters on here are fine. But the arrogant cunt lefties are a bit annoying

50% of threads are dedicated to the same uninteresting few topics

we need more reddit threads like this one.

>le no hostility let's all be friends and pretend this forum has potential to be anything but shit

Ban all /pol/ crossposters. They bring absolutely nothing to the table but trash.

What global rule are they breaking?

>no racism outside of /b/

>remove philosophy, religion, and science fiction from literature

What, you want the board to look like the free book section of itunes?

That's not a rule

kek

Rangeban America from the top of Mexico up.

It would be nice if philosophy and religion were discussed in the context of literature or specific authors works.

Doesn't matter. They need to go. If you defend them in any way you need to go too.

LOL. This isn't reddit were mods delete whatever they want if they feel like it. How about you go there if you don't like the atmosphere here.

Shitposting and offtopic, at least.

Seconded. Less sociopolitical shitposting. More aesthetics answord love.

Is this sarcasm

>having a soul this impure

That's actually part of Rule 3.

Wrong. Racebaiting maybe, but racism does not break any rules

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?

to many blue pilled libturds

>What do you think is going well with Veeky Forums?

a select few of my white brethern are red pilling Veeky Forums. i remain confident about the future

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?
I'll go with the /pol/ bogeyman. I think the problem is not so much the volume of off-topic /pol/ posts/threads (/mu/ has more of them), but people here take the bait instead of just saging and ignoring it.

>what do you think is going well with Veeky Forums?
I like how this board is a little more mature than the rest and that people are genuinely enthusiastic about the books/philosophy they discuss, even if they are not as well read as they should be.

What's wrong with Veeky Forums is that so many of you cunts can't understand that this guy is so plainly being sarcastic

they hurt my feelings and ruin my echochamber. and I can't downvote them like I used to be able to on the site I originally come from.

poe's law my friend, poe's law...

knowyourmeme.com/memes/poes-law

They're not used to sarcastic posts that don't include "/s"

>what translation of Homer do I read?
>is getting a kindle worth it?
>where do I get free ebooks?
>Jordan Peterson
>I don't read much, but got any recommendations? I have done no research nor provided you with any other information.

this but also include bongistan and australia.

all anglos must go

Stay strong my white brother

this. agreed.
Yeah, ironically this meta thread is part of the problem.

>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.

It's not really enforced but after Moot brought back /new/ he threatened to delete it and enforce rule 3 on all boards if they leaked out again.

You're pretty dumb if you don't notice the same pattern that /pol/ bait uses. Go on /pol/ for a bit so you can tell when someone acting as a strange caricature.

does australian even know what lit is?
getting rid of amerifats would cut the shitposting in half overnight. the bongs probably don't speak a second language either do they? it would instantly solve the monolingual problem if they don't, but i think the bongs might be polite enough not to be /pol/lite

Also dirty crossposters from Veeky Forums like you OP. I went there for the first time in years and that place has completely lost its character.

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?
People complaining about /pol/, or /pol/ being mentioned for whatever reason.
>What do you think is going well with Veeky Forums?
It's actually one of the highest quality media boards and people are gigantic whiners.

delete all the viral marketing threads, peterson is not Veeky Forums but rupi kuar and john green ads can gtfo too, surely the mods can look at the ip addresses and see who's posting from some office building in brooklyn

Good thing moot isn't here anymore baby.

there is a scotsman named spaft responsible for 90% of the shitposts on this board.

source?

Watch out guys, moot's gonna ban you!

I'm really glad this managed to sneak in just before autistic screeching of "DELET LE POL REEEEE" began

God fucking damn I had forgotten about that faggot. One time in a Veeky Forums tinychat he completely sperged out on me when I said the word "hipster." He acted like a cunt the whole time he was there.

Oh shit. Your post made me remember who he was. There were a few people who would indulge in Spaft's autism but then I could usually get a mod to ban him from there for at least a little while. It's nice to see some tc people still browse here. Most seem to have either moved on or had something happen to them. The person I can know about for certain is gaskun because he is the only nameposter on here from that group.

Why are all scots so autistic?

The /pol/ posters who shit up threads on other boards are the same ones who turned /pol/ to shit. People who say "go back to ur contaimnent board xD" are still more annoying.

>People who say "go back to ur contaimnent board xD" are still more annoying.

This. They should all be relegated to their containment board, /qa/

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?
/pol/acks are the biggest problem atm. It's very hard to talk about qt modernist authors because they derail the threads with shitposts and then gullible fags start arguing with them. Aside from that, they make obvious bait threads, which really affects the quality of the board.

Retarded memes like Rupi Kaur that a actually get their own threads are also bad. That behavior is okay in places that have always had awful discussion like /tv/ or /v/, but Veeky Forums used to be one of the few safe havens here.

And, finally, no one seems to talk about poetry anymore. I miss the time when comfy poetry threads were more common and frequent.
>What do you think is going well with Veeky Forums?

lit tiny chat.. hmm

How to get /pol/ deleted:

1. blatantly false flag as /pol/ for months
2. create a meta thread
3. identify /pol/ as the problem

This has also been happening on /tv/, Veeky Forums, and /g/.

nobody wants /pol/ deleted though. they just want them to stick to their own board to discuss their little soap operas.

Plenty of people want /pol/ deleted.

they're nobodies though, and probably watch soap operas.

I don't want /pol/ deleted. I welcome its existence and would get mad if that were to happen, even if I don't agree with most of its views. But that's unrealistic, anyway.

The problem is that /pol/acks simply derail too many threads and make shitty threads. I don't mind them discussing their politics on Veeky Forums when that's appropiate, but when they start behaving like autistic /b/tards on certain threads I honestly fear for the seemingly fading quality of Veeky Forums. Just look at the current state of /tv/ (granted, teevee has been shit for a while now, but still).

there's a reason why /pol/ exists - to keep all those retards there, and not posting on other boards

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?
Faggots like these , who wish to have a circlejerk instead of a discussion when it comes to the garbage they've been brainwashed with.

Really, any faggot who complains about an argument being presented just because it's not one he aligns with is nothing but cancer that should fuck off to the non-anonymous kind of social media he spilled from. For example, whenever Irving is discussed, at best a couple of people will talk about the merits or demerits of the contents of his books, while these kinds of faggots will whine because Irving is being discussed. Which is quite ironic when they say something like this >It's very hard to talk about qt modernist authors because they derail the threads with shitposts and then gullible fags start arguing with them
and the fact is that the content of said "modernists"' works, the artistic merit of their garbage (though of course, mainly the lack thereof), is discussed by what that kind of people would describe as /pol/. While the anti-marxist side actually discusses literature, the pro-marxist (though not really, because they haven't really read marx, not that that would make them any less retarded of course) side insists on morally posturing on personalities instead of literature.

...

Yeah what about it?
Now that I look back on things I think Spaft might have drank until he damaged his brain or something.

>Yeah what about it?
does it still exist?

Pretty sure it died out relatively fast. First it was really comfy with just a few people and it was mainly regulars who knew each other. Eventually some moron in the group started constantly spamming threads about the group to the point that it attracted a bunch of randoms and annoying people like that spaft lad. Also had a few normies in there who let their /soc/ like tendencies get the better of themselves. Always wanted to get the original gang back together but my contacts don't get back to me anymore. Interesting history behind the group actually.

It's not about having a circlejerk, it's about retards from your actual circlejerk shitting up threads with "ummm this author's a cuck, kek", "the current state of the white race :(", and a variety of downright vacuous and vapid threads.

I'm a conservative myself ffs. No one would fucking mind /pol/fags discussing literature and their politics seriously, but that's obviously not what they usually do. It just becomes a memefest about the current state of the white race, redpills, women being shit and inferior, and cucks. If that keeps going on, Veeky Forums will become a circlejerk on the vein of places like NeoGAF, just like /pol/.

omni is that you?

I feel bad, because I take the bait every time almost. It's tough when you talk about some sort of lit crit theory topic just to get called a Jew or cultural Marxist or whatever else flavor of the week /pol/ meme it is. The volume of /pol/ responses seems to heavily outweigh actual discussion about lit crit or even books.

>If that keeps going on, Veeky Forums will become a circlejerk on the vein of places like NeoGAF, just like /pol/.
That will never happen. Maybe there are a few trolls who shit post on here, but they don't stick around, because they don't read, unlike on /tv/, because they watch tv. Veeky Forums is unironically the best board on Veeky Forums.

No. Sorry. It's been so long since everyone really got together so I also have forgot about some people for the most part. Only the really larger than life figures or the ones that impacted me the most remain clear in my memories. If any tc readers in this thread want to drop their names they went by I might be able to think of something worthy of posting about them.

Fit is SO bad now, like 70% of threads are offtopic and usually just cringefests involving a sad frog poster complaining about how his wrists are too small or something

>sad frog poster complaining about how his wrists are too small

Im tired of JBP threads. They never change anyone's opinion. They're just nonsensical flame wars.

You son of a bitch

/pol/ has got to go. Stormfront, Anonymous, Trump, GamerGate, every time a group of fags rallies behind some political cause they attract unnecessary attention and flood the website with traffic. Too many people stayed this time, almost every board is like Project Chanology in it's worst days. And then /pol/tards tell other people to go 'back' as if they're carrying the original spark of this website. /pol/ has always been a containment board, the only reason they're leaving it is because they're filthy sandniggers that couldn't manage their own home. Stop raping our boards, send the fucking refugees home.

It actually is to be fair.

Veeky Forums is a close second

They are posted 90% of the time for shitposting purposes now.

How daft are you if you think this board has high quality anything on it?

>polposting isn't the biggest circlejerk

Ban people who open utterly pointless threads (low-IQ memes, crossboard memes, other anti-discussion rubbish).

Ban /pol/. If you're not smart enough to keep /pol/ to /pol/, you need to be banned from other boards.

Ban and execute underagers, i.e. half of Veeky Forums.

LMAO only newfags and pseuds think this.

I gave 0 fucks about /pol/ before the election, when they mostly stuck to their own board and left the rest of Veeky Forums alone. But since the election, it seems /pol/ got flooded by a bunch of newfags who take "le epic redpills" and start spamming them fucking everywhere. /tv/ is basically unbrowseable at this point, and I don't want the other boards I browse, Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums, to suffer the same fate.

This.

100%

very true, i don't mind the occasional racist shit, i mean it's Veeky Forums, people can take extreme positions if they want, or blow off stream from the daily annoyances of living among blacks, but the constant stupid "redpill" shit is getting fucking stupid

> /tv/ is basically unbrowseable
It isn't /pol/. There is no good reason to /pol/ post on /tv/. It won't convince anyone of anything. All it does is make people angry at /pol/.

/tv/ is the best board on this site

who the fuck watches tv? what are you a baby boomer? fuck off

Fuck you, you go

I just go there for the post ironic memes

Both of these are pretty on point.

Veeky Forums is fucking awful. It would still be awful if /pol. got deleted.

Why?

Because the majority of people here don't fucking read.

>is clearly a /pol/babby
>..."instead of a discussion when it comes to the garbage they've been brainwashed with.

jej

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums?
too much e-politics like political compasses and meme ideologies (see: ancap, alt right, ancom etc.)

lit was good as recently as 2014
something really fucked us. the people stopped reading or at least discussing the memes. time was the catalog was nothing but dfw pynchon and joyce and i thought that was as bad as it could get

>What do you think is wrong with Veeky Forums
Nothing. Is working as intended, oldfags are getting mad because they can't catch up to the new memes and can't take the banter and libtards get butthurt because this isn't r/books and we call them on their bullshit liberal/progressive authors and worship the true great authors of history.
>What do you think is going well with Veeky Forums
I like that the bugs memes expanded trough boards. I've seen it on /b/ /tv/ /v/ /pol/ and even at twitter so I take some pride on it. It may be a huge pile of burning shit but it is OUR pile.
Also summer is going to end soon so we'll be able to snug back into the meme trilogy and comfy threads without the normos, underaged kids and ledditers soon enough so I am pretty happy-
PS: If any /pol/ack comes here just to shitpost the reddit away keep doing it. I know for a fact they want to make Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums their Veeky Forums stronghold.
