/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftychan.net)

To be blunt and to the point: I've witnessed three splits of our community so far the last 8 years and I have detected a certain tendency I would like to reflect upon if that's okay with you guys.

First, and following thereunder, schematic representations:
>back on 8chan
>OldBO starts banning pro-imperialist talking points surrounding Syria
<RESULT: "split board" is created
Analysis of the split (and sorry if this hurts your sentiments, but I'm way past of idgaf):
>main 8ch/leftypol quality of posts improve, we are witnessing way higher % of effort posts and so on, while
on the "split board:"
<idiotic appeals to "board direct democracy" are instated, promises of way looser moderation ensues
<our worst community members of old start inhabiting the place – and I'm talking about post-work, post-left, pro-bookchin, anti-civ, etc. etc. "snowflake" types
<the fucking splitting board gets overrun with "anti-transhumanist" (etc.) 8/pol/ spam in merely days
<the board becomes deserted

Second, the bunkerchan split:

Can you add an /int/ board?
I would love if /leftypol/ hosted an international board that wasn't infested with alt-right weirdos, one that really focused on fostering international cooperation and learning/sharing each others cultures.

I am not sure whether it is currently with admin team capabilitied to implement, but here goes:

In order to save server space and kerp the boards cleaber I propose that saged threads be auto-deleted after 5-7 days.

A similar thing could also be useful for threads that have a very small number of replies after a week (like less than 2-3).

Vid unrelated.

So far I've got two applications for vol, and I will post more as they come. See if you like these guys.

I've been touching grass for the past 2 weeks, what exactly is this new site? Who's the admin and why have you caused a split?

We currently have several applications that are over overwhelmingly in favor in the congress. We are waiting for them to resolve. Right now, yes, we are short staffed. Please be patient with us as we work to resolve the issues the board currently holds. If you are interested you can check the assembly board to see the currently existing votes.

Remove the overboard

They had the last laugh after all.

I like that if I type out a big post and accidentally open another thread and it still saves my post so I can go back and don't have to type it all back

This coup was supposed to have improved the state of affairs, but it might just have accelerated the decline of the website. The jannies on all sides seem to be quite disconnected from the masses which have composed the life essence of these boards. It is long past time, therefore, that a tribunal representing the popular thrust be established to directly parley with the cliques of moderators, because there are many problems which urgently require resolving and the petty factionalist struggles of the administration have caused those issues to be forgotten. And what better individual to be the Tribune of the Posters than Shay, who not only has been a fixture around here through the multiple tribulations of migration, retreat, and reconstruction of this place but also represents decently the unity of the ideals which /leftypol/ is supposed to uphold. Steeped in the culture of both effortposts and shitposts, she is rooted in the material reality of the average posters. Shay is proletarian in class background, someone opposed to imperialism and Angloid Boxism, and also one who is not so spooked about the usual progressive canards. The current crop of moderation, be they the junta, the soyjak avatarfag narcissist axis, or the furries, can argue in /meta/ to the end of time, but most of the resident anons dedicated to the improvement of /leftypol/ know a true government of action is of utmost importance at this moment of upheaval.

Make SHAY TAN the SUPREME LEADER of /leftypol/.

Overthrow moderators' bourgeois vestiges.
