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.

Is it just me or does it feel like things are getting crazier out here? Seeing more and more older users acting a fool and getting bounced/permabanned.

Maybe they're tired of the place but they're all "Ah wish ah knew how to quit yew!" and since they can't they just sperg the fuck out until they're banned.

Too many tears from libby-libs (and other assorted spergs like Pink Panther, but mostly them historically) about being negrated for stupid takes. You know the drill.

Only a matter of time before the board is gone in total, at least A&N. It is already retarded enough for half the threads here to be shit up by the same few posters who make it there mission to "troll" a board by spewing autism and then complaining in all the other boards about its existence.

I'd think that if someone complains about sticker notifications and bad stickers, they simply should lose access to the sticker system.

I just do not see the logic of the current move. Why would you cater to people who have been whining on and on for over a year about stickers?

No way this backfires into unreadable shitposting. Might as well just limit hat sticker functionality to approved funposters

Or just get rid of A&N entirely if it's causing so much unbelievable asspain as to require custom coding for the sticker selection bar.

Or get rid of stickers altogether which would be preferable.
