Articles & Happening Meta Discussion

Articles & Happenings is the third attempt at a news board on the Kiwi Farms. It is a cursed place. Every moderator who has been assigned here has resigned within a year. During 2016, the political crossfire was so bad it spread to different boards and culminated in me banning American news discussion entirely for several months. It has been deleted in its entirety twice. There is no actual discussion here, it's people posting garbage. It leans much further right than the rest of the site and doesn't particularly conduct discussion because dissenting opinions are dogpiled by a thousand memelords posting shit they read on /pol/ without any critical analysis.

The only rules that can be enforced are empirical ones with boolean violation answers. New threads must cite a real source directly and must use the headline of the article as a thread title without any editorializing. Articles must be archived in some way and must link to the original article. Replies that are one word or a reaction images are automatic one-month bans from the board.

I'm creating this now because it seems like this place is here to stay and is one of the largest areas of the entire site. I might as well throw in bare minimum effort to improve it. I don't even try to find mods for here because they will quit, without exception. I've added new prefixes ("Business" and "Crime") just now.

Discuss.


New threads should be made like this.

I would like to be able to filter A&H out of "new thread" when I sort. This section takes up so much space.

I get the feeling that text is there out of necessity. We get so many pantshitters already, but that text keeps the most retarded at bay. It doesn't seem like it would, but the constant reminder is supposed to make it clear that sperging is frowned upon, and will be punished, and most people keep it in mind. You can block it with adblock or the like though.

I really think A&H posters should just get a month ban after each post. let them calm down between sentences.

Nah, just ban them from posting in OT threads for a week.
It's not like that will even matter for 75% of them.

 

[Occam's Spork]

I really think the last 2 posts are why A&H should exist. Not because it triggers people like the last 2 left wing retreads, but because the discourse is still there to be had, autistic and stupid or actually worth thinking about. A free exchange of ideals will always have people voicing things that make no sense or are retarded on their face. Plus, political shitposting is fun.

A&H posters should be literally raped, murdered, chopped up with an axe, fed to pigs, and then people should kick and punch the pigs for hours.

You have no say in this at all, pedo.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

What if Elon Musk was right all along and all the news and articles are just us reacting to living in a simulation that is forcing us to care about, say, “news” and “articles”?

faggots who complain about A&H being spergs are like male feminists complaining about all men being rapists

If elected janny, I will turn A&N into an unreadable mishmosh of censorship and deletion of Something Awfulian proportions.

If I were elected janny I would immediately retire so I have that "Former Staff" badge and people think I'm important.
