We need a definition on what “video game culture” is. Otherwise we’re just going to kick the can down the road forever. So what is video game culture?

>>716509287 (OP)
The simplest definition of "video game culture" can be boiled down to one word: Cunny.

That was a tempoary measure not a blank check forever. Off-topic thread.

Nintendo: cultural phenomenon
Everything else: generals, pseudogenerals and generals in disguise

A gateway to porn, gambling, and culture wars.

porn

>>716509546
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Video game culture is politics, sociopolitics, whatever racebait or tranny derangement nonsense people obsess over, whatever industry drama related crap comes by their twitter, reddit, tiktok or instagram feed, e-celeb whining and coom
Video game culture is NOT video game threads, that's a general!
Video game culture is NOT discussing the technical aspects of video games, that's off topic!
Video game culture is NOT fun vidya related memes, jokes or activities, that's off topics!
Video game culture is NOT small indie not AAA outrage game of the month, that's not a cultural phenomena and is a general!

>>716509287 (OP)
sorry they have to ban this thread and the one of /v/ screenshots so there's more room for the thread about male pattern baldness, the loli art thread, and the thread where we goon over shitty Undertale fanart

Touhou threads are videogame culture
Unless you call it a Touhou thread, then it's not videogame culture

>>716509287 (OP)
>video game culture
Anything I like no matter how remotely vidya it is
>not video game culture
Anything (You) like even if it's obviously vidya

Who gives a shit anymore

>>716509736
this
this shit fucking sucks
it's one thing if ja*nnies wanna be useless are not notice off topic threads filling the catalog, fine, an absent wrangler is better than an abusive one
but if they're out here deleting perfectly good threads, and yet ones like those you mentioned stay up, it's proof they consider those threads on topic

can they not kick a janitor out after he's been hired? like can they not review him within a month and say "alright this one's been doing a dogshit job, he took down 3 vidya threads and left the ones about interracial porn and bumsex up, let's kick him out" or is that not an option

do jannies think they get paid for every thread they delete? or every comment that gets posted or something?

>Video game related
Video game discussion (incl. fanart, the AI art thread, theorycrafting, and similar veins using games as its core)

I don't care if they want to have /v/ - Worksafe Random but I would like a board for video games also

>>716509287 (OP)
>what is video game culture?
whatever the mods feel like it is on that given day

Can someone please explain to me why there's a horde of trannies, pajeets, and chinks that have made it their lives' mission to spam /v/ with nigger-worship cuck porn?

>>716509924
So ecelebs are Vidya then. Good to know. Also drama was a big part of video games. Otherwise shit like the 90s video game hearings and the 83 crash wouldn’t be discussable here

>>716510056
started as a demoralization campaign of bots against chuddy white men but then it invited in actual mentally ill shitskins

>>716509924
>fanart/ theorycrafting
i wish, but very few people make OC anymore because everyone here is just a tourist who posts from their iphone for (you)s and that's it
and few people discuss theories because they're so irony poisoned and scared of sincerity it won't happen
>the AI art thread
no, that shit isn't OC, it's barely on topic, it's just pages upon pages of tits, pits and feets of whatever shitty generic vidya game woman people wanna coom to and is the definition of an approved general thread, it's spam
>ecelebs
no, this one is a thin line and just leads to the usual circlejerk faggotry
>Drama surrounding someone (even if they're "in the industry")
see above, how do you divide the two?
>Complaining about moderation
nice try janny, get back on your account and fucking moderate

>>716509639
The mod team are all post-moot era hiro-planted retards and trannies who never even visited this site before hiro took over, and know nothing of 4chan culture. I see so much standard 4chan stuff banned and deleted nowadays it's not even funny.

>>716509287 (OP)
It's Mountain Dew and Doritos, not Vtubers and ecelebs.

>>716510056
There isn't, I'm sorry anon but the boogeyman is just there to cover up the fact that these are in fact regular /v/ users who do it for free
it's not a campaign, it's not a raid, it's just bored teens looking for (you)s

>>716509920
>can they not kick a janitor out after he's been hired?
I've been told that usually they just cut their pay in half.

Ban eceleb threads
Ban gacha generals
Ban steamchart threads
Ban xitter/reddit screencap threads
Add auto filters for the "words" slop, soul, sovl, trvth/trvke, and ngl
Boom, board fixed

>>716510152
>chuddy
This reminds me

Ban soijaks, ban sharty users, and ban anyone who uses sharty adjacent language on sight
See also: "coal/gem", shortening things like 'eck', 'cado', 'log', etc... "keyed" "troon" "chud", you know it when you see it

>>716510265
>regular /v/ users who do it for free
no it's mentally ill shitskins who are copying the behavior of demoralization bots. but yes, they do it for free

>>716510056
because the mods allow and approve it

>>716509920
Mods are the ones who issue bans. This is top-down problem, and it starts with the fact that site has an owner in name only and the mods run this site without a tardwranlger to keep them in check.

>>716510359
Add
>Truke/Trvke
To the list of banned words
It's weird that they filtered So**y, a word that's only kinda used by them but also by normal people, but none of their super obvious tells like above

>>716509469
>make a thread about a video game
>NO NOT LIKE THAT

many such cases, it comes down to whether one of the jannies working that day like the game you're trying to talk about or not, if they don't you have to hope they're too busy dilating to notice.

>>716510337
But is that Vidya culture? Doesn’t matter how shit it is, if it’s video game related then it stays regardless

>>716510337
>>716510359
based
or just make a new board, abandon this one to the bastard children and make a new vidya board that has enforced topics
there is literally no other board that is so completely ignored. they don't let any other boards look like this. and I don't know why people come here to shitpost instead of /b/

>>716509287 (OP)
I don't want to be "that guy" but do you really think the mods will care enough about this to make an official meta thread?
Unless some anons (oldfags who actually care about the site) apply to become jannies or mods i don't see this going anywhere.

>>716510504
s*y was banned well before the sharty was made i think, back when the mods still gave even a modicum of a shit

I have literally never been banned for misclassifying reports
If you report something, always choose the most serious report option possible, I usually just click at random out of the list
Jannies come running if you report something as "pony content" "guro/loli porn" etc faster than if you report it as "low effort" or "off topic" so if someone is spamming some eceleb/politics/derangement shit, just report it as one of those and they'll react quicker
Yes, I've even picked "This post violates United States law" sometimes and never got banned for it, they can't be bothered
Spam em with those reports, if they wanna do their job like shit make em do more work to compensate

>>716510826
hiroshimoot already said this was fine years ago newfag

>>716510917
nta but how is he wrong? yes, it's allowed, but we all know jannies don't care, i think what he's saying is that it doesn't matter if he said it's fine, jannies and mods get to break the rules and ban these threads anyway

>>716510905
>Yes, I've even picked "This post violates United States law" sometimes and never got banned for it, they can't be bothered
I got banned for reporting a gore thread as illegal
who knows man

>>716510260
The retarded mods have been planted by king faggot himself though.

>>716510784
Generals can be video game related and are still banned. I don't care. Ban eceleb threads, ban gacha generals, ban steamchart threads, ban xitter/reddit screencap threads, and add auto filters for the "words" slop, soul, sovl, trvth/trvke, and ngl

>>716511023
I don't believe there is a single pre-moot mod left. I might be wrong but that's certainly how it feels.

>>716511047
remember onions? or further back stuff like candy-ass and roody-poo?
I seriously don't understand how troon and slop never got a fun filter. shit is so low effort these days

I made a thread about spoony/FF8 and got banned for 3 days for not being video game related (ff8) or video game culture (thespoonyone). And of course you can't challenge a 3 day ban unless you artistically hunt down mods on IIRC.

>>716510337
How does that fix the people making 20 generals a day on moldy old rpgs with no gameplay

>>716511260
Just go on IRC or check the leaks, it's the same retards who have always ran things.

>>716511368
>you can't challenge a 3 day ban unless you artistically hunt down mods on IIRC.
it's why they give them out with impunity
they can easily remove anything they want with no justification and no recourse

>never got a fun filter.
there's your answer. there's like 2 mods total who do anything fun anymore, and they clearly get overruled by the faggot no-fun-allowed tranny mods all the time. The wordfilter list hasn't been updated in over a decade. Who knows when the last (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) was issued. Mods USED to do cool funny shit from time to time, now it's just the occasional retarded Sticky.

there's no consistent moderation, there never has been and never will be. no amount of bitching will make the board better, since the only people who will clean it up are mentally ill wastes of space themselves.

Make a blue /b/ and watch /v/ become on-topic.

>>716509287 (OP)
Everything I want to talk on /v/ about is vidya culture, everything I don't want to talk on /v/ about is not vidya culture.

>>716511604
been saying this for like 7 fucking years

>>716511047
You forgot cringe, based, incel, dilate, have sex, fr, on cap, unc, peak, lowkey, goon.

>>716511426
Everything else I listed should be a much higher priority

>>716510917
shit, my bad. didn't know that.

They made a public ban to praise AC Shadows.

>So what is video game culture?
Literally just porn
Every single game that comes out nowadays is either waifuslop for coombrained retards or just straight up porn
But the indians here love it so it's here to stay

Once got a post marked spam for trying to say Is real was banned on eight ball chan for a certain spam of illegal images of minors.
