Mods: Please abstain from deleting this thread. Board quality as a whole can benefit from this discussion.
Anyway, theres been lots of talk this week about the trade and giveaway generals and how theyve been discouraging a lot of users from participating. So I thought Id make a poll to gauge /vp/s feelings on the subject.
http://strawpoll.me/2458355 Also please state why or why you dont support Trade Generals. Be concise.

Giveaway generals aren't inherently bad. I don't see any fault in have the general for regular giveaways, and specialized threads for mass giveaways.

You don't want to see them, you filter them. It's what that's for. Trade threads aren't pushing constructive threads off the board, it's not like we can only have 10 threads running at once here. Plus, what the hell else do we have to do most of the time anyway? Breedan tradan is all we have to do really. I don't go to them really because I don't want to be a sponge but I like that they're around.

>>20770618 I just don't see the point is all. There aren't that many giveaway threads to begin with, and the /ggg/ blows up faster than most boards because there're so many giveaways, as well as a lot of ruses, so it ends up having a lot of boards anyway. I, for one, am all about positive change, but what's the point in investing time and possibly resources to change for the sake of change? I like going forward, not sideways, and it just tries to fix a problem that's virtually nonexistent.
People complain that the giveaways themselves are the cancer more than where they are; if you wanna make those people happy, then you've gotta get the mods on board to delete any that pop up, which doesn't seem like it's gonna happen any time soon.

>>20770919 Thing is I think those individual giveaways are just fine. When you insist these people stick to /ggg/ it only clutters things and prunes the threads faster. /ggg/ is fine for when you have time to spare.
For someone who's giving away a few Pokemon its more effective and doesnt waste precious thread space.

>>20770618 Guess I'll give my opinion since I'm one of the people concerned about it. My apologizes for eventual mistakes, English isn't my main language and I'm posting on a 3DS.
Giveaway generals aren't a bad thing on the idea itself, which is to reduce the number of giveaway threads and to allow people to reach faster the information about which giveaways are done and how to benefit from them. But while the idea is decent, the execution is really bad.
First, we must take into account how confusing the whole thing is. As every distributor shoves his own structure of distributing via his post(s) and without even caring about what the others are doing, there's no consistency, and thus, people wanting the pokes given away are confused and can't benefit from this thread.
Second, we have the shitposting. A shitposting I expected from the very moment I saw, a week before the giveaway generals began, posts complaining about the giveaways because they "took too much filtering" and because they "took too much place on /vp/", arguments that were both debunked... And whose debunking was immediately shitposted onto. And this shitposting extends to every giveaway thread - The non-generals are shitted on because they refuse to "join the correct thread" while the generals are shitted on because of how easy it is to disrupt things in a single thread than in several.
Now, what I thing the best idea to do of giveaway generals is simple - Don't use them for the giveaway themselves (except small ones), but more as an index of giveaways. People not liking giveaways will only have one more thread to filter (and even them, filtering the words "giveaway" and "distribution" should be enough), while it'll clearly give more clarity to people wanting to benefit from them.
But the shitposting has to go. Report it, ignore it and don't believe what non-OP posters can say about the giveaways.

>Better shitpost the general I just noticed people trying to make me pass as going to these and shitbombing the threads I'm often making in order to "force" me to go to the "correct" thread. And even without that, I'm against the idea, for the confusion that it brings, and the events that happened since its release proved it.
>>20771133 You're right, confusing people wanting to benefit from the giveaways will suuuuuuuuuuurely help the giveaways. All it does is disappointing people wanting one (or several) giveaway(s), but not getting what they want.
>>20771180 I just quoted one of the shitposters, who called another giveaway an "attention whore thread". Should a giveaway be an attention whore thread, the giveaway general isn't the attention whore general ? Basic logic there.

All it does is giving more clarity, both for the distributor (who can see better the requests and answer the questions) and the ones requesting (who can see better how the distributions and the questions are going). That needs a little attention, but there's no problem in that since it limits itself to the giveaway thread(s) made by the one taking the name and is only used for the sake of giveaways. Oh, and it makes things easier for detractors too, since a trip can be easier to filter than several threads.

Trade and give aways are mostly some genner mass producing Pokemon and giving out extras. That's not how Pokemon is meant to be played. If /vp/ has rules such as filling the Pokedex to be on the board, it supports what Nintendo goes by. Genners are cancer, and those threads don't belong here.

So, outside of the shitposters whose damage control is easy to see through, all I've seen are the following things :>/gag/ has no use, and should be deleted / mass reported at sight (including the one who made the threads in the first place) >small giveaways should be redirected to /ggg/ >big giveaways should keep their own giveaway >shitposters should be reported at sight and ignored I guess we can call this discussion closed and start acting that way from now on, and see how the things move on the following days.

>>20778184 yes, and they need to learn because it will make their browsing much easier. My concern is the protest of getting rid of other generals that have been in their own containment threads for more than a year. Do I like half of the generals? No not really. Do they have a right to be there? Yes, and all these people complaining about them honestly just confuse me. If you (and this is a general you) have the ability to ignore them by filtering and choose not to implement it, then don't complain about it.

>>20778184 Lets try to teach them with the best of our ability.
Pattern: This is the field where you type in what you want to filter out from the board. "Giveaway" is a good example of something that can go here and you wont ever have to see those sort of threads again. As a side note don't bother trying to filter goodra, that faggot will get past it by typing go.odra or some other variation.
Boards: Useful if you browse more boards than just /vp/. If you want to filter your pattern on only one board type in the board here. Its doesnt seem to work if you use "/" so filtering giveaways on only /vp/ would require you to type in "vp" in this field and not "/vp/".
Now make sure you have the boxes that say "on" and "filter" checked and you should be back to shitposting other threads in no time.
P.S.-You can also use this method to make threads you want to see be at the top just do as you would if you were going to filter them but instead of checking the "hide option" check the "top" option.

>>20778262 Thank you for writing it up, I think it'll help those that didn't know for sure. It should honestly be stickied somewhere, for newfags browsing, but some don't like sticky threads either.

>>20778272 You can use the above method of filtering to filter out sticky threads!
Just highlight the stticky's name and then copy (Ctrl +C) then paste (Ctrl +V) it into the Pattern field. After that proceed as if it were any other thread. Hope this helped!!!

>>20778262 I can't really imagine people being so stupid that they do not understand simple shit like that, but the faq does seem outdated.

>>20778611 I read the faq. I can understand people not reading the faq, but if you do not understand a function and then not read the faq, then you're just being a dick.
The faq's the best place for shit like this. No need to waste a thread spot for blatantly obvious shit like that, that's not even board specific.

>>20778621 Then i guess most of /vp/ are dicks, at least the ones in those giveaway generals

>>20778651 Pretty much yeah. Especially the people actively shitposting and sabotaging threads because they don't like them, hoping other people will change so the board fits their opinion more, instead of changing something minor themselves.
