which one is worse, brit/pol/ aka the tripfaggot & namefaggot hive /ptg/ aka the reddit circling jerking awoo general or /sg/, the sandnigger traitor terrorist general WELL Jow Forums?! VOTE : strawpoll.me/17124953
Also see and The poll proves one thing for the most part, that another board dedicated to Political Generals is needed.
Agreed, and the poll is an important part of this, it is the only way to show the gravity of the situation
Brandon Anderson
Nobody who has actual decision making powers is going to give a shit about a straw poll.
David Brooks
This general is the worst general on pol. Get this shit out of here. Pol will not change its stance on generals because some people don't like it. GET OVER IT. Or do your weekend shilling, you'll be gone eventually after you realize you're not gonna get your way. At this point it's just a waiting game
Oliver Gonzalez
Fuck off you faggot. Generals are threads for like minded people to discuss topics important to them. Why the fuck do you care you massive twink power bottom?
Also 8ch exists They have a pol? They have very similar chan etiquette and no trump generals. It's like there's solutions all around you but instead you insists it change here. Really makes me think
Nicholas Phillips
the only reason this topic is coming up with frequency now is /ptg/, which is the main contention mainly because of the raw amount of traffic (having to remake threads every 6 minutes at peak times, multiple saged threads in catalog, split threads occurring with frequency).
Only suggestion I would like to see that has a chance of happening is to make a rolling “Trump Thread” (same as other major event stickies; no autosage, last 1000 posts displayed), sticky it, don’t bother moderating it and then delete any iterations of /ptg/ posted outside that thread.
Yeah I know a stickied containment thread isn’t the best solution, but it’s been over two years now with the thread existing (and soon to be in the next election cycle) so it’s obvious the mods don’t plan to delete/offshore it. The rolling sticky at least puts it into a single self-contained thread and at least gets rid of the dumb “baking” culture and split threads clogging up the catalog.
Camden Lewis
REEEE TRUMP PULLED OUT OF SYRIA WE NEED TO GET RID OF /ptg/ and /sg/
We Jews are control freaks! You know we must always thirst for more power. Destroying everything you hold dear. Drumpf pulled out of Syria and now we must try and shut down /ptg/ and /sg/
Also, those interested will be interested. That is not for you to judge.
Alexander Foster
That's what /qa/ is for. If you want to split Jow Forums then you should want this thread off Jow Forums as well.
Sebastian Long
Yes, but this poll with no option other than to hate a general proves that everybody hates generals. Great logic, eh?
It's also pretty rare to see a multiday poll hit more than several hundred. And that's when it's a topic people flock to, like penis size or age.
Aaron Adams
/qa/ is a useless dump that does nothing but serve as a place to kick the users issues into the long grass and keep them away from places where they might gain real traction i.e in the places where they concern and can be found by those concerned. Here.
Jackson Jones
No, you can't have it both ways. It's off topic and it belongs on /qa/
Luke Garcia
I don't want it both ways. I only want it one way - the ability to talk to the people of this board about issues that concern this board. That can only be done here. They will not find it on /qa/.
Jose Watson
Haha subtle
Owen Lewis
Fool. The numbers read 1488, it's just a joke
Ethan Roberts
I wish they would ban all generals, holy shit what a plague on this board
Joshua Ortiz
No, you seek to send threads you don't like to the long grass of /pg/. I don't like this thread, so I seek to send it to the long grass of /qa/.
You see? We are in agreement. Except in your case it's against the rules.
Nolan Johnson
No, it's a rigged poll that was rigged by design. Yeah, OK, har har 1488. Polls here don't get ~1500 votes that fast.
Xavier Gutierrez
I want the reddit invaders to go home. A board dedicated to Jow Forums generals is an acceptable compromise. They can shitpost there all day long, and can still come take part in what we do here. It's not a ban from the website.
James Gutierrez
Generals are bad all round, but they limit the degree to which other threads get shitted up.
Carter Hill
That's not going to stop the redditors. They'd just come here anyway to keep doing what they're doing.
Isaac Butler
Why is /ptg/ even an option? They are literally the most active general on this dying board and literally secured us the 2016 election.
Brandon Sanders
GAS THE NORF, NONCE WAR NOW!
Jose Kelly
They come here to shitpost in that general, then overflow into Jow Forums generally to shitpost over the board too because it's on it and the cancerous nature of that circlejerk makes them think that's what Jow Forums is all for.
Juan Mitchell
True this. But also, trump general threads will go away when he's no longer president. Why they care so much is beyond me, but have some fucking patience if its such a bother.
Jayden Anderson
Shareblue detected
Christopher Wilson
Either they stick to the containment thread, in which case it doesn't matter which board it's on, or the keep shitting up Jow Forums as well as their containment thread.
And once again, note that you are complaining specifically about /ptg/ and not moving all generals to a different board.
Henry Jones
Notice how there is basically no actual news and so on posed here any more? That's because such things get sucked up by the generals, where they get lost in the shitposting. With seperate threads those that are actually interested will go to those threads rather than have to compete with those who don't care and just want to shitpost.
This is why generals are a cancer on this entire website, never mind just Jow Forums. It's just not built to be that sort of forum.
Connor Sullivan
It does matter because they go "ok I'm bored of awoooing, what now?" *click [back]* *new thread* "Why do white women love the big black cock" "hehehe that'll get replies" [back] *new thread* etc etc etc.
Juan Adams
You have no idea if those are the same people or if they'd just do it in Jow Forums again. You're also suggesting that those are the only reddit posts.
Isaiah Bell
Quite the coincidence that all that shit starting coincides exactly with the time of their arrival then isn't it?
Easton Wood
>/ptg/ well in the lead, more than double "remove all boards" option and triple brit/pol/ >faggot spams /ptg/ with this poll link >awoos fly into the poll and spam brit/pol/
I hope you fags are happy.
Aiden Rivera
Not really. But splitting out the generals isn't going to change anything. This is the same thing that happens every time Jow Forums gets dramatically more popular.
Ryder Walker
OP is a faggot nigger
Brody Gutierrez
It means that they have to search us out, rather than being landed here the instant they leave their thread. The shitposters that plague this board hang around here. They don't fuck off. There is somewhere here that they hang around in between shitposting - their generals (which they shit up too).
Jordan Morales
Honestly considering the content they post /ptg/ should be moved to Jow Forums or trash. Its been so off topic for so long it doesn't belong on Jow Forums.
And then the ones who shitpost here but who aren't part of this shadowy group of redditers who love Trump so much they awooo all day long will continue to shitpost here.
I mean, why not set up a why generals suck general at this rate.
Christopher Nelson
Ptg is fine on some days and then other days its just contaminated with liberals, jews and niggers from reddit
Nathaniel Martinez
Oh they do mostly come from reddit and so on, but when here, home base is /ptg/ etc.
Adam Smith
And all the rest of the generals, too, don't forget. What about other common theme threads that don't title themselves as a general? Do they get moved?
And while we're at it, let's get r9k's robot installed here to stop all the samethreads you don't like clogging the place up.
Grayson Sullivan
Sure, all of them. I have some lingering nostalgia for brit/pol/ as it did use to be legitimately good when it was not a permanent fixture and the boys are (mostly) good lads, but it's terminal these days as well. I can't remember the last time I discussed actual politics there.
Juan Thompson
You're free to start at any time, or you could hang out in you why I hate /ptg/ general.
Luis Turner
Back to your containment thread, MIGApede /ptg/tards.
Benjamin Taylor
It's not possible as whatever topic you want to discuss is drowned out by everyone else gossiping about some bullshit and also general fatigue by having to talk to the same people about the same shit day in day out in the same thread.
Ayden Price
Why do white woman love big black cock has been around on Jow Forums since /sg/ was /hg/. Everyone knows it's r/asianmasculinity. It's always been them. This is just another thinly veiled "We hate Drumph" thread disguised as concern trolling. You just didn't anticipate Britain hating it's own general so much.
Nathaniel Reed
If you want a slower board with heavy moderation, I'm pretty sure you're looking for somewhere else. As you know from your time on Jow Forums, it's always been full of shitposting and noise with some rather compelling gems here and there when people put some effort into it.
Sebastian Howard
That was just an example that came to mind as I was writing. This board has never been as chock full of garbage as it has been since the election and the redditfags etc showed up en masse.
Parker Gomez
I don't want heavy moderation, a change in setup will suffice. A longer post timer would be a good idea though to discourage low effort posts spammed one after the other.
Dylan Sanchez
So you want a slower board with heavier moderation, just like you've been saying the whole time.
Jason Lewis
And based on current Alexa numbers, 4chin is now deader than it's ever been. Jow Forums has become /b/ 2009, only worse because the internet has become "multicultural" and "diverse". That's why 90% of Jow Forums is now old memes and Drumph. You're also looking at what organized discords are capable of. Jow Forums really doesn't like Jow Forums, as it's seen as American so you get Jow Forums discord spam. Generals don't do anything.
Jason Evans
Instead of D&Cing like a glowing faggot, you should instead focus on your idea, which is to make a political general board. Then and only then would you not be a fag.
Julian Wilson
Ban all general thread, make a new board called /polg/ just like they did with /v/ and /vg/ Every single general sucks dick.
Parker Wright
Only /ptg/ faggots voted /sg/ as worst
Isaiah Miller
If by "heavier moderation" you mean "generals get moved to the general board" then sure. I don't see how that is heavier than what we already have now though with threads getting moved to, for example, /qa/.
Discorders get bored and fuck off eventually too. When the posts are consistent, day in day out, it means they walk among us. Jow Forums is dead because most people worth a damn got tired of the bullshit and fucked off. Used to be that many Jow Forums posters made me feel dumb. These days I often feel like the smartest person in a thread, and I ain't all that... That may be unrecoverable, but maybe it is if the tide of shit can be made to wane.
Lucas Roberts
Literally no one hates britpol.
It’s just bots ran by trumptards astroturfing the poll.
Zachary Price
But you don't want your thread specifically aimed to get rid of /ptg/ (of which I am no fan) to be moved to /qa/.
And everybody who makes a post you don't like is a redditor from /ptg/.
Tyler Campbell
It's amazing how most Strawpolls have about 200 votes total (even during busy periods like the elections), but these somehow always get 1,000+
Anything to accomplish the goal of stopping /ptg/ because that's the root of all evil and once it's gone everything will be fixed.
Michael Harris
Discorders don't. If you've spent any time on Jow Forums recently, you will see the same memes and spam, reposted on daily with the same responses by the same flags, month after month. They don't get bored, they come in waves. Also, yes, Jow Forums is dead because of the spam but, that's not the only reason. All of 4chin is dropping. This is because google has started hiding 4chin is search results for current events, whether it even be video games so you're not getting any new blood. Management mostly hates the website so that's no help either. The idea that reddit is behind everything is illogical. The Trump base on reddit in comparison to the overall kike subverted garbage and hypocritical trash is so tiny, it might as well not even exist. It ain't the people from r/the_Donald telling you to get banned for saying nigger, hating jews or wanting trannies dead. It's everybody else. This is a large combination of a lot of different issues and it's just the current state of the internet whole is not doing good. Maybe things will change in a few years but, with the way "multiculturalism" is going on the internet, I doubt it.
Wyatt Phillips
I want to agree with your post but I have yet to see evidence of the contrary. Insofar it’s been the vocal minority of /ptg/ feeling threatened that they’re brought up in a negative light
Sebastian Richardson
I don't want it moved because then the people here who it concerns will not see it, it's not equivalent, and when have I once called you, who I am actually talking to, anything?
Ethan Roberts
You've chosen an imaginary enemy to personalize your target, /ptg/, in order to agitate Saul Alinsky style. No more, no less. And anybody who disagrees is from /ptg/ and feeling threatened.
Do you also write Hillary Clinton's talking points? Am I listening to NPR explain how I should feel?
Caleb Hall
>twink power bottom ...That's an abnormally large amount of knowledge of homosexual vocabulary, user. Where'd you pick that up I wonder?
Zachary Gomez
user you’re trying to put words in my mouth and say things I haven’t said. Do *you* feel threatened that I’ve brought up something that I’ve noticed?
Camden Allen
You're attempting to argue that it is equivalent. That if /ptg/ is moved, than all the posters you don't like won't ever post in Jow Forums again, which is a total absurdity.
Robert Hill
So instead nothing should be done until eventually even we get tired and fuck off for greener pastures (not that many exist)?
Leo Ortiz
What the fuck does it even concern you? Just don't go on /ptg/.
John Scott
No, you are the one arguing that. If /ptg/ is moved, then the first stop for people in it looking for somewhere to shitpost is far less likely to be here, as it is more than a back button away.
Hudson Murphy
Yes. But not for /ptg/. Rather for the mindset of people who want all wrongthink banned impinging on my glorious bastion of free speech.
What can you "do" about it?
Colton Williams
Because /ptg/ does not stay in /ptg/ and that general anchors them here.
Jonathan Diaz
What do you think I'm doing right now?
Tyler Nelson
That's exactly what I said. I'm trying to show you how absurd you've gotten in your quest to have heavy handed moderation (that agrees with what you consider to be quality) and a slow board.
Adam Martinez
wanking
Tyler Hall
Trying to figure out how to get rid of /ptg/ with an argument that isn't full of holes.
John Reyes
you are a wanker m8
Luis Davis
just get rid of brit Jow Forums
Austin Parker
said memeflag
Christian Collins
I feel like we’ve talked before earlier today. That said I’d be happy to agree that it would be infringing on free speech, however it’s difficult to get any kind of words in edgewise with some people because the moment you say something they can’t compute, they call you a shill. And I’ve noticed that it is more often than not /ptg/ browsers that do this. Am I at fault for noticing these trends and seeing a correlation between phrases and posters?
Owen Roberts
I never said never. I said they would be discouraged through having to expend greater effort. I am not so naive as to think I can end all shitposting, but I do think I can seriously reel it in.
Hudson Cox
This is the best post in this thread and provides a logical reason for current Jow Forums. The reason Jow Forums and the rest of the internet is shit these days is the internet is now kikes, white people who hate themselves, 3rd worlders and arabs. I would say just about 5ish years ago the internet was mostly 1st worlders and white people. I mean, this thread is filled with subversion and hypocritical posts because it’s always the same trick.
Daniel Adams
ate chan hates anyone who browses 4pol and they also ban for wrong think. Really great alternative there.
Dominic Martin
How do you know if it's somebody from /ptg/? Why do you spend enough time in /ptg/ to know if you hate it so much?
