I've lurked Jow Forums on and off since 2013, but only really started posting during the Ebola Chan phase. What I've noticed since then is the fact that the number of posts seemingly made by actual retards has increased dramatically.
I've seen plenty of posters who aren't even familiar with basic political terminology. I've had some fucker tell me that Libertarianism = Social Liberalism, or that Fascism can only be Natinal Socialistic.
Not only that, but the number of people replying seriously to twitter screencap bait threads (in the vein of Jow Forums btfo how are we going to recover) has also increased.
I don't really know what the cause of the problem is (it may be phoneposters, redditors, shills, trumptards or all of these combined), but we have to do something before things go to shit.
How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
The disturbing drop in board "IQ"
The more the shills are trying to poison the well, the more we are doing right.
Just be true with yourself.
Once reddit showed up everything went to shit.
The only way to fix it is to start a new chan, which everyone claims is so fucking easy, which it isnt. Theres more than coding involved. Money comes to mind.
This board is to big,to popular. Everything goes to shit that gets big.
It's true, the board IQ has collapsed, that's why all the egg heads left for 8 when the going was good.
I've observed this not only on Jow Forums but on the whole internet. all discussion is now lower IQ, probably from internet becoming more widely accessible.
The only way to find a high-IQ community is to find a harder-to-access community. 8ch was obscure and had some intelligent people. theres also peer-to-peer forums and communities that havent been infested yet
It's the trannies, bro. They're changing social norms by shitposting....or something.
The more attention this board got from Reddit, twitter and MSM has led to the increase in literal retards coming here. That and the number of shills now trying to infiltrate this board is at an ATH
kys nigger
High iqs have migrated to Facebook
Pol died after gamergate when moot killed the board for months and all the regulars left. Idk where they went but the magic is definitely gone
8ch refugees, false flagging leftists, gen z idiots, faggot journalists, fucking reddit, fox news boomers. It's all so tiresome.
To be fair, Jow Forums showed up the donald. How else would those retards know pol existed.
Remember when everyone was complaining about the redditors in 2015-16, and the self described hot shots around here would say >muh secret clubhouse
Wanting pol to stay a secret clubhouse was good, and it was mocked by the hotshots.
If you guys truly addressed the redditor invasion back then, you could have stood a chance of keeping this place.
Jews have set out a plan to destroy this board by posting 24/7 BBC threads and anti white threads
It is intentional. Glowniggers want to diversify white spaces even online. They direct retards here and shit up the board with bots, posting the same pointless thread day in, day out.
Why? The objective is to get you to stop posting and move on to a smaller site with less impact on the real world.
Boom.
We did gore posting, which is banned now.
Ai chatbots. Theres a pattern. I wish they would stru so real ideas could shared without outdated polarizing bounderies.
Is the ostensible neggar spamming BBC threads a bot,?
>(it may be phoneposters, redditors, shills, trumptards or all of these combined),
this, Jow Forums got called out by the president candidate in the us and is talked about in social media
>How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
post gore 24/7, especially animal gore, even if it hurts, it gets them out
Smart phones were a horrific mistake
Checked
It's summer man, I tell ya
Don't forget that the more normies we get to come here, the more we convert
Faggot have you heard about trolling??
Fucking swizers are so motherfucking retarded.. it's not even funny.
Anons need to start making animal gore bots to post gore constantly.
There shoukd be a pol shutdown where everyone basically accepts for a few weeks nothing but shit gets posted here, gore and threads bullhorning the Jow Forums shutdown is in effect.
Basically nofap but with this forum. No/pol/
Get rid of yourselves if you must buy a mediocre andriod or go flip phone
I wonder how many users visit Jow Forums per month anyone know?
Smartphone* I'm tired
Infamy attracts retards and niggers not rocket science we need a new and improved nigger free chan.
The flood of Trumptards and establishment shills ruined the IQ levels around here.
The election killed this board user.
Q is real he will save the board
WWG1WGA
Of course there is one other rather obvious possibility: That the 'race is everything' redpill shit that's pushed around here day in and day out attracts idiots. Alternatively it actually makes people stupider over time and their word view narrows to a couple of simplistic ideas.
It's quite simple really. Systemically remove them.draw in some bait for Neckbeard shills. See how they reply. Get some trusted People to report them to the Jow Forums higher ups. and have them perma banned lol. Establish more anti-neckbeard rules. And why not add a few other groups on the list? Boomerwaffen, Antifags And all shills in general. We need a Shillocaust.
It was 2016, for all the talk about keeping the beaners out you retards sure don't know how to keep your own board in check
I think since Jow Forums got popular they want to popularize it and make sure diversity is here at Jow Forums.
This place is lost im giving up hope. I don’t think we will ever beat back the tides of the new fags and reddit niggers and the /ptg/ kikes. I don’t want to leave but what is the point anymore.
Jow Forums has always been full of retards where have you been
You are dealing with incels that cannot get laid in a sea of thots. It is just that sad. Also the eight chin dysphoria (originally Jow Forums dysphoria) are going full tard. Jow Forums will get nuked when then next Jow Forumscel posts their manifesto here before their mass shooting.
I think that's a fair take. It leads retards into a myopic worldview - everyone who tries to posit a nee idea or provide advice contrary to the norm is labelled a Jew. Of course that's inherent to board culture, but it truly feels like retards can't differentiate actual shills from people trying to help them. It's especially common in threads about conspiracies - telling people that they look like schizos for pursuing obscure/esoteric leads instead of unravelling conspiracies using less contentious evidence means you must a Jew.
>example
I was telling people on a thread yesterday about how they shouldn't be propogating the 'Epstein is alive' shit, lest they want to be branded as tinfoil hatters and thus have the actual truth become hidden. I used the example of 9/11 where you can easily prove irregularities by looking at facta like investment firms calling their options in American Airlines prior to 9/11, all while avoiding the 'jet fuel cant melt steel beams' meme. But of course, I'm a fucking Jew shill for saying that.
This, /PTG/ is r/thedonald cancer and brought tons of faggots, pretty sure it’s some kind of trump internet marketing strategy, those thread most likely originate from inside the white house
It's because there are no more daily Mommy threads. That's why Jow Forums has strayed from the true path.
It's a mixture of a few things.
It really started with shilling.
There are people that are so determined to "stop Jow Forums" that they pay people to shit post here. Trying to turn the board into something unlurkable.
It's also because of the mass waves of newfags coming the last couple years.
So in other words it's a bunch of kids shitting the place up like every summer, it's just we are also being raided by companies that are literally trying to make this place so shitty the original user base leave entirely.
Their plan ultimately won't work, but it has changed this board forever.

>8ch reffugees who are all actually just oldfags from Jow Forums are the problem
Newfags like you need to go back to where you came from.
4/4
i've noticed the same thing.there has been a big influx of retards,children and people who are here to deliberately subvert the board since then.
Things got particularly shitty in the past couple weeks. Jow Forums has never been this bad.
>I don't really know what the cause of the problem
Newfags. Normie traffic. Also, bots.
>How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
Good question. Some normies will catch on and get smarter, the others may get bored and leave eventually. Getting rid of the bots may not be possible. Shills will always be around.
i've seen that (((opinion))) everywhere on cuckpol recently.
>How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
Mods need to allow gore and horse pussy on this board as normie repellent. Bring back /mlpol/
lol u tk him 2da bar|??
Because it's true. I was there for the separation. I personally watched that part of Jow Forums history happen. It happened during the early Q, and Pizzagate threads. The people who left to cripple were typically the more intelligent ones that were also more dedicated to working instead of shit posting.
People coming back here from 8ch is not an issue. If anything they are chan veterans, and can help save this board from its current shill/newfag infestation. .
Checked.
>1 post by this ID
We all know a major reason, pic related. It's entirely Jow Forums's own undoing.
>b4 all smart now all dum
or you are getting smarter. keep it up! the brain is a muscle
i agree low IQ schizos have flooded the place
Very true. They blame these incidents on people here, when in fact you're just a bunch of college kids trying to figure things out. It's a whitewashed version, and has become just a lot of people using language with no ideas.
If you've ever accidentally clicked on a real hate site, you will never forget it and you will never go back. They do not complete sentences, and they are very violent
pol has always been shit. Because most people here are underage
>If you've ever accidentally clicked on a real hate site, you will never forget it and you will never go back. They do not complete sentences, and they are very violent
this. Jow Forums is rather mild and moderated. edgy is way different then all in.
This planet is full of retards, but that doesn't mean there are no geniuses
Ive been here for longer than i care to admit. It seems to me that 80% of threads now are created by shills larping as white nationalists, retards and people pretending to be retards
Welcome, Fellow retard
troubling, i find the iq is higher you just have to filter the bs like irl
Checked.
I think most people are only pretending to be retarded, with some real ones mixed in so you can't tell.
Can confirm, I'm an idiot and even the voices in my head have given up insulting me.
They were my only friends too :(
>the number of posts seemingly made by actual retards has increased dramatically.
Exactly the same thing has happened to /tv/. Originally, it was a mixture of thought provoking discussions and genuinely funny shitposts. Now? It's nothing but spam and wall to wall shit. It's really quite sad. I blame the rise of "have sex" and "incel" posters. Zoomers are so unoriginal; it's horrifying.
Take your meds Qoomer
That was always the risk of getting in bed with the right. The right is full of uneducated retards.
All the conspiracy shit like MKULTRA, pizzagate and loons who talk about "false-flag shooters" are the death of this place
you got leftypol, 8pol, glow niggers, journalists, /rddt/ coming here, of course it's gonna in this state.
Younger audience and the older ones are more heavily into video games from gamer gate. Tack on the 2016 election, kekistan faggots, and us being in the news as the villains constantly you end up with a constant influx of retards that can't talk politics and get trapped in twitter bait threads.
>incels that cannot get laid in a sea of thots
this.
Main problem is mods aren't deleting and banning for low quality posts.
the problem is the demographic that was prone to calling this shit out got split and ran off to 8ch where they were attacked nonstop by glowniggers trying to destroy them from within
the solution is to accept having come back and settle back here strengthened by rationality that keeps idiots from obvious glowniggers while being able to counter those threads en masse
Nah some of the conspiracy stuff is genuinely interesting, see:
It's the hard-headed retards with myopic worldviews and lack of self - awareness/awareness of others' perceptions if them that ruin it.
Jow Forums's success is its undoing, you used to never see a meme outside of this place. Now zoomers post wojaks on Facebook and it's covered by the news weekly. Regression to the mean was inevitable.
Trips of truth
Politics
this but unironically
B-b-b-based
/Pol won the 2016 election. (((They))) have been on the attack since.
>in bed with the right
what? /Pol should get in bed with the left? GTFO
>How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
Drain the swamp. Instaban blogposting, shill threads, 1-post-by OP threads, filter stupid zoomer shit like "have sex" "incel" etc.
The reason that board iq has dropped so hard the past few weeks is due to the huge influx or 8pol schizos. This place was somewhat intelligent before infinity chan got nuked but has been barren of real discussion ever since. Nowadays, eery other post here is made by either a glownigger or a seething societal reject.
Pol has been in the shitter for much longer than that, user.
The slide threads. The shill threads. The "how does it make u feel" threads. The 80% of 1-post-by-OP threads.
The 8pol thing is just another shit-fart on an indian street.
cripplechan had a more intelligent user base than the plebbit and zoomer niggers infesting this place. You remind me of most of the trash posting here.
Very true.
I have to agree that the IQ has been going down. I often find myself nowadays arguing against people, whose only counter-argument is "nuh-uh". That'd be fine otherwise, but nowadays I often see absolute retards argue also for my side. It's god damn annoying to see some leftist redditor come here making his retarded arguments, and then he gets spammed by absolute retards on my side. Bad arguments change nobody's mind. If you don't have good ones, shut up.
I noticed this as well.
Definitely. That's where the adults went. Where actual conversations took place. Half chan is amusing, but it has been a circus for quite a while.
larp more you obvious dumb shit newfag you have no clue what you're talking about
political discussion on Jow Forums died with the end of /new/
Jow Forums has always been for memes and chaos
Double chan most certainly was no smarter than Jow Forums. Only more hardline and less civilised. And you actually could have even fewer decent arguments over there, because it immediately devolved to "fuck you kike shill, I'll filter you now".
>How would (you) try to make Jow Forums great again?
By getting people to realize that the far left is starting farcical threads designed to make Jow Forums look like fucking idiots.
Those threads include:
-- threads claiming everything is a false flag
-- crisis actor shit
-- person swapping (Epstein, Tarrant, Miley Cyrus, et al)
-- indefensible shit (to make it look as if the right will defend anything if it SOMEHOW aligns with something right-ish or white-ish, no matter how atrocious
-- flat-earth
-- other ridiculous shit that makes Jow Forums look really stupid ("cops pouring blood on another cop!", etc).
YOU ARE BEING MADE TO LOOK FOOLISH
IN ORDER TO DISCREDIT THE ENTIRE RIGHT
Please use some critical thinking.
Cope. I browsed there for a year but left because it was so glaringly obvious that the user base there was literally nothing but bottom feeders (of virtually any hierarchy) and retarded schizos. It's actually really easy to tell 8niggers apart from regular Jow Forums users by just how much 8nigs rage whenever they reply to shit that even slightly differs from their ideas.
>Bbbbut pizzagate is fake.
Are niggers still claiming that (((elite))) pedo rings are fake after Epstein got caught ffs.
>I browsed a board for a whole year! I'm kind of an expert you see
I fucking despise newfags.
Checked.
It's funny, I was making this argument earlier that Jow Forums is going to shit and I got called a shill for my trouble.
Until anons decide they've had enough and seriously start fighting back then enjoy your shills, bots, spam and cuck threads.
Don't you have a shooting to be plan for? Chop chop user!
