>>48548156>I'd be interested in seeing where you cited that fromhttps://bid.glass/4chanNSFW banners cover
4chan.org, the SFW ones cover
4channel.org, the smallest named board covered by the statistics is r9k, which makes up 0.7% of the impressions(421.3k impressions). From there it's just grouped in "Other", which is a fucking huge margin(46.81m impressions, 73.3%.) Granted things get kind of fucked up because of the whole /catalog/, /archive/ and mainpage split, but surely if /pol/ was such a big problem, it would show up in SOME form there.
>That would alleviate the problem of them being here, which comes with its own issues.NO IT FUCKING WOULDN'T. Do you think Reddit stays on their own website!? No, they've been clogging up /news/ just as much as you claimed /pol/ did, and it's fucking obvious because the entire front page is literally left wing American politics, which is what dominates Reddit and is different to the culture of /pol/.
>wouldn't be stinking up the placeNo, fuck you, that's not at all what fucking happens. What happens is someone brings up politics in an thread for whatever reason, someone else joins in, and then some guy who dislikes the politics of that second person screams /pol/ like it's some kind of boogieman that you can claim for fucking everything. 9/10 I've witnessed this happening, NEITHER of the "instigators"(for lack of a better word) even frequented /pol/, they just had opinions one guy didn't like.
>not rooting them out early has caused them to take up a pretty strong residence here.This still misses my point that they'd be a problem because they have anonymity and the low moderation would still exist. Even if you instigated a rule of no politics on a board(which is impossible to do impartially, and will piss people off,) they'd still be here in strong residence.
You're not solving a problem, you're just pushing it away, and if they don't take up residence on their own website, then they'll do it on others. See:Tumblr.
