Political & World News Forum
It has been considered for a while now, and is being considered again. Sure fucking around is one thing, but with the current political climate around the world, it seems like now is an even better time to make this move and bring FUCKING Around back to fun discussions and bullshit and actual business in the main forum. While keeping the more serious stuff else where.
Thoughts? |
Do it but you wont stop the shit on the main forum unless you start banning all the fake nicks..
If you notice 90% of the fake nicks around here are spewing far right wing none sense. They will continue to do so in the main forum as they wont care if their fake nicks get banned.. So I say Im all for it as long as you hunt out the abusers of fake nicks and ban them.. karmon, joushaG, vendzilla ect..ect.. With out going after the people behind the fake nicks it will be the same shit show in the main. |
Sounds good. Dont come very often these days but when I do I have to look at this ^^ asshole's shit.
|
There's no way it could be enforced. Politics gets brought up in every discussion now. Not just here, everywhere. A couple of my friends are arguing politics in a facebook Irma discussion right now. Same thing happened here.

You just called Vendzilla, someone I know personally, and who use to be a MOD of GFY, a fake nick. LMFAO!
Please tell me more as to why I should trust your all seeing eye when it comes to who is and isn't a fake nick. |

I mean jesus, the guy helped start a super pac with intention of taking money from Hillary Clinton supporters in which he said here on gfy, was for the purpose of making himself rich.. Do you honestly believe someone that messed up in the head over politics just stops cold turkey? Fuck no its like crack for guys like that.. More importantly I said "people" behind the fake nicks....not that his main was the fake. |
Here is your chance Bladewire.
Still want to play the fake nic game? |
All for it, if that would work properly, it would just about isolate there most of the rapid post count nicks, since these rarely have anything to add to any non name calling thread.
For that to work, however, it will likely require moderation. |
Just ban bladewire and everything will calm down, that troll is just starting arguments for kicks.
|
Nah keep it the same
|
Since on gfy it's all about page views, you should do that, as then you will be able to sell advertising to republicans and democrats lol.
I actually just noticed how french/russian/spanish lang webmaster boards have far more business topics then gfy and xbiz which both become political boards instead being service for industry. So i started to think to learn those languages since gfy nor xbiz are no longer places for doing business. |

The politically obsessed alt-right nics will continue to bring up politics in the main forum. They'll do it by bringing politics into all the threads via posts, instead of creating actual political threads. Whether they are fake or not, new alt-right nics pop up to take the place of banned ones. (I.e. a 14 year old nic with 3 posts pops up an alt-right nic and posting like he knows everyone) I think a political forum is an awesome idea. I see GFY as an adult industry board still and don't want it to be swallowed by a political ideology. I hope it's enforced and followed if implemented I'm down :thumbsup |

...and who who have all those old endless amounts of fake forum nicks? Humm a old former mod who was obsessed with politics maybe? Just a theoretical observation... |

The first thread you created the day you registered: Are You Immediately Banned For Opposing The Elite? Your second thread: I used to like this board In both threads posters said you were a fake nic, so you're used to it after 12 years princess, suck it up fake nic and stay on topic or make a new thread. |
Of course :D Freedom Opinion – Articles That Counter Ideas
|
You're going to do what you're going to do but a few things to consider. This is the "fucking around section" There is a mainstream section but no real dedicated adult section. Grant it this use to be but it has morphed into purely fucking around. Here's what I suggest. Create a Adult business section for those who claim they want to discuss business. My bet is that section will be just as much as a ghost town as the mainstream section is and just like every other industry specific related forum is online. Outside of that you may as well leave it alone if you want the board to continue on and active. I've been a member of pretty much all of the main industry boards since the early 00's. I don't visit any of them any longer and apparently no one else does either. Visit WHT for an example if you haven't lately.

What are your views on creating a Political & World News Forum for political posts and threads? |
Quote:

sounds good to me but you will need someone on hand to move threads to the proper forum.
if it doesn't happen i think it i will use greasmonkey to block the non stop political posters. its gotten so tired. |
Approx 1/5th of the threads are business in the main forum...thin ice IMO

I don't know that a split into new forums is necessary or if that will solve anything.
The negative tone throughout has been amplified to the point that it is difficult to read any threads without encountering hate. I am not sure how you combat that without just straight censorship and I really do not like censorship. So, I am not sure of what the best thing to do is. . |
Bump to the top!

No, not truth. "Lazy". (Don't listen to Baddog, Eric. Enforcing this takes just a few minutes a day.) Quote:

Awesome!
It would be also useful to choose some independent moderators to enforce the no politics rule in the main forums. Iindependent as in an employee, or users who've never participated in the political discussions. |
(Hi Eric, I haven't worked for xlovecam since May and emailed you about a name change twice in May never got a reply -- someone said Myja was the one to contact? That said ...)
Yeah, it has become more 'Fucking Around' than Program Discussion around here. I for one would like to see more heated debates over Internet practices, general business and adult business topics. Politics is least common denominator and every asshole has his own opinion, including myself . The problem with this is it's too easy to post shit without looking too stupid as there is always someone that will agree with you. <=mob mentality. Then there are the fake nics that agree with each other too ... A new forum will be a very busy ghetto of political quackery and animosity -- but OK. Just make the ground rules clear. Make a 7 day suspension on the first offense like in high school -- this is the mentality here ... That would be my suggestion. For those you who dream of kumbaya, be happy land & let's hold hands around here ... good fucking luck Does this mean I need a new avatar -- :P |
Does this mean you will clear out the openly anti semitic neo-nazis ?
Im not talking about the Trumps fans vs haters, but the serious stuff like the guy with the AnneFrank lamp for an avatar. Seriously, this stuff is not great, I would not want it on any property that I own. |
I think a political forum would be great. Obviously.

If I can't troll both a former mod and a current with one post, what would be the point... |

yeah, there are fewer of them around but they still are and still sneak in this bullshit a few times a week. This does not belong. I'm all good with back and forth banter from most members, its always been this way. Adding a new forum for politics specifically could help, but removing some of the problem posters would be a step in the right direction. |
Why there is a tit-related option?? Now I can't decide ...
|
How about three buttons above the thread list. Something to the effect of...
Show all threads Show only business and fucking around threads Show only political and news threads (perhaps also "Show only business threads") Thread submitters would have to categorize new threads correctly. |

Alt-right titts http://img.chan4chan.com/img/2010-07...8277151635.jpg VS Liberal titts http://68.media.tumblr.com/2682b9cf0...8k5no1_400.gif A perfect addition to the Political & World News Forum yes! |
