Morning lads, as the title says Boss Strelok no longer logged in so i have claimed the board to save it being claimed by leftypol/goons and such.
ALready fixed the rules page and cleaned up a few stickies as well as deleting spam/slide threads as well as added a considerable amount of banners to the board.
Remove the word filters, and find some way to get the NEETSoc LARPing autism off of the board. They contribute nothing and shit up every single thread with Reddit tier scripted posts, as we've seen from the recent Trump threads. Zig Forums and nu/pol/ must both be purged. Political discussion on this site died in 2016, and anything that doesn't matter to Zig Forums interests - military, US internal policy, liberty, weapons rights, national security, what have you - should be frowned upon. I'm tired of these anti-gunners sliding things with their irrelevant bullshit and arguing over which form of the anti-individualist and anti-freedom polity known as socialism is best. Better dead than red, I don't care if that red has a Buddhist meme cross on it or not. They're all leftists and they're all trash.
Don't fucking tread on me.
William Scott
remove whiners like this guy
Josiah Cruz
Uncertainty gives me anxiety, please reassure me that everything is going to be okay.
Oh bitch. I could have claimed this instead of an AUS who has never built a gun in his life had I fuckin' known . Oh well. Never visiting this board again. See ya!
Elijah Hill
Remove this guy.
Colton Sanders
Did you forget your list of D&C responses on the bus this morning? This is very weak bait. I don't think you'll get paid for such low-energy responses as these.
By the way, buddy, you can't sage a sticky. Nice try.
Ethan Anderson
I can sage a sticky even if it don't mean shit, but the BO can't own firearms in his country. Time to die.
Xavier Russell
But Strelok, think of all the things you have to live for. You're part of the most pro-gun generation of Americans since the 1960s. We've been growing and going strong since Sandy Vagoo and Benghazi, and we show no signs of stopping. There's still hope. Both the House and Senate just pledged not to hear any gun control legislation in response to Florida, because they're afraid of us. Maybe Ausfailia will unfuck itself in due time too. If you quit the resistance just because of your emotions, you're no better than an anti.
I just want BO to be as protective over firearms and marksmanship in general as I am. You got me user. BO is probably away right now. Bleh.
James Gray

Nathaniel Cox

No if anything we need more word filters
Justin Russell
Can the QTDDTOT be pinned and on loop? Similar to the way Zig Forums does?
Ryan Hall
Do "Honeypot" instead
Noah Wood
Ban all the IP's of the newfags who got unironically butthurt by the Bomber Harris thread and you will immediately improve the post quality of this board tenfold. Seriously faggots not recognizing an old /new/ meme or even knowing what /new/ was just embarrassing.
Don't be a shitty overzealous mod like the political boards or /v/
Josiah Morales
The gun owners and fans from australia who visit this place are hardcore pro gun natsocs or libertarians, nothing in between. We know exactly what gun control feels like, and appreciate rights for that reason- you can't really know what they are until you know what it is without them. This is why real liberty loving foreigners who come to america tend to go gadsden af and pro everything gun related.
Judging by how butthurt you are, and your completely out of context use of the word 'goon' (do you even know what this means?) I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume you are exactly the kind of newfag rapefugee trash I was talking about. Contribute to the board's content and quality, or do something good for gun rights, or fuck off, bleäse. :D
Funny, I was just wondering why you seemed to be the only active one on the team. Guess that explains it.
John Hernandez
You have no reading comprehension at all. Nowhere in my post did I suggest samefagging. Or do you think it's impossible to address a group of people in a sentence? Hint: I'm doing it right now. Plural you. Please don't make shit up to damage control, it's pitiful.
I appreciate the ban on tripfags, but I need lolispam unspoilered to carry out my righteous fury against the phoneposting faggots killing this board by treating it like cosmoline-flavored /b/.
Word filters are a good way to put newfags who need to lurk more under the spotlight. Too much word filter is cringy. There needs to be a healthy balance.
I do agree a ATFchat filter for the ATFchat thing would be ATFchat

Zachary Smith
I never mentioned anything about bans. Go step outside for once or something, too much roboting is bad for you. And observe my digits while you're at it.
>find some way to get the NEETSoc LARPing autism off of the board Americans truly are fat dumb cunts.
Andrew Young
The best thing about the previous owner was that I hardly knew he existed. This site is the posterchild for overzealous, busybody mods, don't let it happen here.
is "purge" not synonymous with "remove" where you come from? is there some other method available to mods for removing unwanted elements that is not banning them?
Dominic Miller
ban all Israeli IPs and make sure you review all the volunteers- remove inactive and unhelpful ones and replace.
Otherwise this board is really slow. Just let it happen.
my post about overzealous moderation was deleted, confirming overzealous moderation looks like this place is run by /r/thedonald now, whoops, I mean Zig Forums, it was fun while it lasted.
Make sure to screencap this thread as the day Zig Forums probably became new-Zig Forums and started enforcing all the stupid shit imkampfy did to ruin that board.
Kindly be the Aussie shitposter Zig Forums needs, and otherwise fuck off with any Zig Forums or Zig Forums nigger shenanigans. I want a gun board, not Zig Forums 2.0, BO. Can you do that for me or are you gonna go the same route /fit/ did and disappear into obscurity as you drive off what little userbase remains?
Thirding this as well, at least setting the thread to cycle part. Honestly I don't want the whole front page to be stickies because that's fucking retarded, but we don't need to make a new QTDDTOT every other week.
This. Zig Forums got cucked to death by janitors with urge to impose their autistic views on everyone.
Bentley Clark
put QTDDTOT as a cycle so that will keep that thread foreveractive, i added honeypot to the wordfilter,
Everything will be okay Kermit, but just in case keep your favorite firearms within arms reach.
Convince our Finnish brothers and sisters to post here then.
Majority of Australian gunowners are full blown right wingers thanks to generation zyklon realizing the government hates them.
A lot of gun owners in australia are open NatSocs with the australian Fudd a dying breed.
Were working on it.
At quite a few points it was just me doing moderation, havent seen the others on yet, if everyone has disappeared ill do another recruitment drive for another mod.
Name and shame phoneposters user, make them go full desktop.
I post anonymously too, just put on the board owner tag for this thread and another post, dont want to use it often.
Gotcha, ill go find something else.
Zig Forums does fine most of the time, some reports i get are just people unable to take the banter.
While we're in the habit of making cyclics why not do so with a webm thread as well? Until a few months ago there were two active threads both with hundreds of posts in.
Is this "the Jew cries out as he strikes you", except the Jew is pretending to be a white nationalist? Frankly, if the idea of people disagreeing with your beliefs is so scary, maybe the board founded on libertarian ideals - the individual right to self defense against harm and tyranny, and access to the weapons with which one can achieve that - isn't for you. The safe space club is two boards down.
Dylan Myers
>purge Congratulations, I bit.
Easton Jackson
You all realize that flags are coded through a checkmark, so BO would have to customize the board itself to change this, right? I don't think BO is that tech-savvy.
Gabriel Harris
Fucking finally, so glad that fucking script has been taken off the rules thread.
Nolan King
Welcome, new BO. I don't have anything else to say right now that hasn't been already posted, so just please don't fuck this place up.
Bullying shills or newfags who make the mistake of not lurking until they fuck off is a form of purging. It works wonders too when the board isn't completely infested with them like Zig Forums or /v/ are.
Joshua Fisher
What the hell happened to the old board owner?
Also, does this mean not more Anime shitposting? I hope not, weebs like guns too…
to summarise the thread, 1.) dont be a fucking faggot 2.) refer to suggestion one
Cameron Myers
Hey that's a bretty gud idea, at least for a slower board like this, don't have to worry about coming back the next day for an answer only to have it been deleted.
Xavier Ross
Ban Yank/pol/
Kevin Adams
Very nice.
Matthew Young
Prove to me that this board won't go to shit.
Samuel Sanders
Very much glad a trannypol or lolcow faggot didn't knick the spot. All I have to request is to keep the board log public.
Jackson Cook
I want to complain, because I think the OP of that thread is simply not worthy of a cyclical thread.
Matthew Young
Go take back Constantinople from the roaches already.
I have really nothing against you guys at /a/ personally.
Wyatt Rodriguez
how dos this post maek you feel tbh? :^)
Luke Morales
A word of caution about centrism, BO.
Lefties will often try to get a new board owner to ban any extreme political view if they know their own is a non-starter. They've tried this on /v/, and most rabidly on /tg/. It's the conversational equivalent of mutually assured destruction, and wagers on the safety of knowing their views are more acceptable than right-wing ones, making an individual site an acceptable loss. I'd post threadcaps of them being caught actually trying this, but I'm at work.
Joseph Turner
What a time to be alive. I'm glad we get a BO who will continue the tradition of doing almodt nothing, as that is the best way to run a board. At least Zig Forums won't become Zig Forums or /v/ tier
Jeremiah Allen
Problem with Zig Forums is CIA nigger control as per cointelpro and believing in zog emperor memes, on top of admin being a turk, not to mention the_zognald refugees. /v/ only recently went to shit. because of the catalog merging mobile app and cuckchan disabling v1 captcha
Christopher Allen
Zig Forums is a lost cause, sure, but /v/? Not really. Cuckchan threads still get sagebombed, cuckchan posters get called out and reported. haven't really noticed a decline in post quality.
Leo Scott
Ban everyone and lock the board down.
Colton Fisher
I think the feeling is mutual, honestly. Different boards for different purposes. I'm still gonna bully you when I get the chance though.
tbh familam you can shoot up as much heroin and shitpost as you want so long as you stay on the other side of the border fence.
This is the ideal environment for Zig Forums, yeah.
