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.

No, but Goku’s biological father will leave you a widow if can’t take care of a baby.

Like you did Gohan.

Was it in Happenings? Happenings requires that full articles be in inside of a quote since it's not a quarantined board like Articles. I'm not sure where this might have happened because that damned show split off into several threads.

I thought it was the other way around, no fully copy/pasted articles in Happenings, just a snippet of the article, a link and an archive since it's public and Googlebot doesn't like plagiarism.

I put myself in time out for a few months for being a dipshit, and I just have to say that, upon coming back, it feels like there are too many edgy Alt-Righty boys running around.

There's more since the riots started, but you accuse everyone of being alt-right, including me.

Stay out of the a&n, it's the only part of the site they really infest. They get into the troon threads sometimes too, but mostly they're only here to sperg about the news.

I have noticed that A&N has had articles dealing with people on TikTok trying to go viral for menial things, like why young women in college shouldn’t be interrupted or why sex workers are the equivalent to unemployed workers looking for real jobs under a pandemic.

We need more of these types of articles.

Are we on record of having an Election Day Megathread soon, or is that without question?

IMO if we do, it should wait until the actual day. Otherwise people will sperg it up before the day is even here

In addition to that, everyone who posts in it should have to vote in a poll as to who their preferred candidate is. Everyone who votes for the loser should be banned for a week afterwards, and anyone who votes for Jo Jorgenson forever.

Hear that, @FuckedUp? Your days are over, you sniveling lolbert.
