Neither of those are the issue. The issue is the influx of young retards who genuinely and shamelessly come to /vr/ to say things like "video games didn't get good until the SNES" (at best). These posters don't know anything about old games except the name of the most major series on consoles and engage in an endless stream of low quality threads on those series, like the "Metroid/SMB3=bad design" threads; or create an influx of low quality template threads "Why did..." "[insert forced meme of the week]"
These retards drove off knowledgeable posters and interesting discussion as they treat /vr/ like any other modern social media: for low quality low level quick engagement

the new vr janny(s?) definitely feel like they're just phoning it in. probably applied when they were drunk not realising what they signed up for and are ignoring their job.
but yes, as an anon itt said; zoomers new to retro games aren't used to engaging with older media in a genuine way and instead of getting a sense of how to do it here with the ones who care about games, we have retards and bots spamming the place shitting up the board with templates.

I gave up on reporting a long time ago. First, 95% of your reports will be ignored. Second, too much reporting paints a target on your back; I discovered that if I reported too many threads, some mod would look for the slightest excuse to ban my ass so he wouldn't have to deal with reports for a while — I even got myself banned for ARCHIVED posts that I made like a week ago prior the ban. They can access your post history and give you a timeout if you dare to interrupt their goon sesh with inopportune reports. I've accepted that many 4chan mods just want to enjoy the clout of being moderators and access the private 'cord, but they don't want to do any actual work unless forced to.

Always report spam threads as spam, every time I've done this it was dealt with relatively shortly. Never use "low quality" and "trolling" reports because those are meant to filter butthurt anons.

By the way. If you post in a spam thread I report you too, because I assume that only OP would bump their spam threads. I've gotten warnings for doing this, but never a ban.

It doesn't need to be, the problem is we need a real moderator. The only jannie that patrols this board is a zoomer and only enables+defends all the retarded ridiculous pointless zoomer gamehate threads. It's not even muh generational differences or my opinion vs your opinion, it's just completely pointless irrelevant resentment and hate for retro games as a hobby and history. It's the motivation for far too many threads, it's baffling, and you get banned for criticizing them while they drown out and choke any real threads like so many unpulled weeds.

Thank god I have real friends so I don't have this as my only outlet, but it's sad that people who actually enjoy things and aren't soulless empty sociopolitically-brainwashed husks aren't permitted to on this board though.

But there isn't even that anymore. I know what you're getting at, but it's become pathological and religious. The people posting the "provocative" threads aren't waiting to be countered and see passion and love for games. They're not being clever on purpose. They're genuinely upset and resentful by games made before they were born and they throw foot-stomping temper tantrums whenever encountering any sort of notion that people can actually enjoy a game they feel hurt them. It's pure victim mentality. "You fags told me this game was good but akshually it wasnt, i wasted my time". You might try to convince yourself they're being clever to provoke the opposite response, but they are not. They doom their own threads by accelerating the contrarian shit level and refusing any positive conversation.

I think there is a genuine gap between modern games and retro, so big that quite a lot of concepts are unfathomable to new players never exposed to the old stuff.

>>12104957
I remember taking a screenshot of a one particularly bad day, somehow there were like 7 Zelda threads at the same time. And that was over a year ago.

There is a problem of the type of board itself. People make a good or decent thread about something, everyone talks about subject and then it dies. Then months later another same thread appears but this time most good arguments had already been made. Good threads are lost to time and then they get repeated but worse.
I try to participate on old old Atari or classic DMG Gameboy threads but these are starting to become samey with the same posts and very few people saying something new.

I think in the last 2 years I've seen the "what could Sega have done to save the Dreamcast" alternative timeline like 50-60 times

that's how it's always been, it was never about being clever. I fully agree that positive content is best, and that's why I always make threads that are not divisive and are more about sharing images from a variety of sources rather than stoking flamewars (retro vidya reaction image thread, 3d render threads, game over thread, that was me). I loathe to admit it but some anons want the post speed on this board to accelerate and as such will spam threads to dominate conversation, you can't even talk about sega without someone deciding to make it about spamming or business nerd shit instead of games. you don't need to be a mod or a jannie to necrobump good threads and make new threads to shove off spam that gets overlooked, we don't need mods if we are willing to create threads we like and be vigilant. that's too much effort for some and I get that, I got work and shit too

It's not the same as it used to be. The level of resentment and hatred of life is far, far higher. These people have no capacity to enjoy or appreciate anything at all. We still LOVED shit even while we were shitposting and calling each other faggots and niggers and having skub/antiskub wars. These people were born into a sick generation that creates nothing, they lack of education/culture/identifiable icons and shared childhood experience so much they've atrophied to the point where they're fundamentally incapable of experiencing an emotional connection to a game. The only thing they live for is lashing out at someone, anyone, for the "bad experience" they had playing [time-honored cherished favorite videogame].

I believe that. Kids who had to mask up at the most formative vulnerable ages, and were injected (mentally) with inherent fear over their mates, told that they'd "get sick" if they went within 6 feet of another human being, got fucked over in ways whose repercussions we will be regretting for generations.

This is on top of the problem of the corrupted and decaying education system, that has dismantled everything good and noble and heroic from history and culture. This is going to get increasingly political, and I don't give a shit, this thread and board are already saturated with irrelevant shit. Kids are given nothing to look up to nowadays. It's not merely the "replacement" that's the problem; the "good" aspect of the liberal hypothesis is that, everyone being equal, it doesn't matter what race or sex your role model is. This might conceivably be true. But the execution doesn't match the intention. Everything that is done to upset the status quo and artificially introduce new standards of culture is done (and this is the important thing to realize, IMO) with CONTEMPT. It isn't enough to just say "Look Billy, Shaniqua is just as good as Charlemagne." Columbus is no longer an explorer, discoverer, hero, even if a product of his times, he's an outright butcher. Everything that existed before needs to be torn down, dismantled, trod on, spit on, regarded with contempt and disgust. You see it in the faces of every "woke" icon in TV and films. It's not enough to have a proud black woman in a lead role, she has to confront the audience. She looks at the viewer with that chin-jutting, head tilted back posture of open challenge and contempt, that leer of "we know we're tearing down everything you love, it's our [misguided] future now". And this leaves kids with NOTHING to grab onto but hate and distrust.

This, more than anything, is why the rejection is so visceral. Most people align themselves to a "side" even if they haven't spent the effort to actually think through the issue and its repercussions. Low-intellect people hate "woke" just because of the races and genders involved, but that isn't it. Mr. T in the A-Team wasn't a "woke" character, he was a beloved icon. It's the challenge that is grinding people down, and impressionable young children have nothing to withstand it, so they grow up feeling completely empty, helpless, and resentful all the time. They get vague hints that "things used to be better". They see older people enjoying and expressing fondness for things that were made before their time. So they play an old video game, or they watch an old TV show, but they have nothing inside onto which is can find purchase. It doesn't fill that aching void where their heart and soul were torn out too young by the system, so they just reject what they tried to experience and come here and post a seething thread about how "akshually, that game was REALLY BAD and i cant believe boomers actually put up with this", et cetera. None of their complaints are well-founded, it's just the need to lash out at the nearest thing close at hand, the sour grapes of positive experience.

I do see a lot of this now. And it's not just "the kids". It's people who got into games late, probably around the time Halo came out. Some of these people are older than I am(usually employed as journalists).

You hear it so often now, "how was I supposed to know?", "how am I supposed to beat that in one go?". Bro, you weren't. That's why it's fun.
"but the controls are a little unorthodox and the fps dropped below 60, so I can't comprehend how there is any fun to be had playing this". Do you even like games at that point? If you aren't even willing to give something the slightest benefit of the doubt, in order to extract whatever it has to offer?

That's my point. The rules used to cut off at 4th gen, then 5th gen was allowed and the discussions went from comfy to hostile almost immediately. Everyone that posted then knew this, and is also why so many warned against the new rule change allowing 6th gen.

It's not easy to discuss 6th gen on /v/ unless it's a popular franchise. If anything you've tacitly agreed that there should be another slow board so anons can discuss 5th and 6th gen games that aren't popular franchises and it won't fall off the board immediately like it would on /v/.

The board's so dead at this point, I do kind of look forward to talking about Wii shovelware, and bullying the xbox 360 dudebros who show up.

I prefer slow boards, it lets anons make thoughtful posts instead of spamming memes to communicate. again that post style would be best suited for a shitposting friendly retro board called /v2k/
