explanation for the troll influx Anonymous
FYI, the troll influx is due to 7chan being down. Bitter /pho/fags + new Tripfags they don't know from 4chan = shitfest.

Notice how the trolling started getting more prominent after 7chan died?

IGNORE IT.
To help everyone, the real tripfags are:

Wow, it's like a list of the cancer that is killing /p/.
And also Jeremo and eku.

How come Beethy didn't make the list?
Is it because of his girlfriend's suckable nipples?

I'm not going to say this whole fake tripfag thing was justified, even though it had its moments for the lulz.

But it says a lot about the tripfags we've been getting lately.

I haven't actually even seen all of the samefag stuff thats supposedly been going on. A lot of it seems like it was just fabricated to have an excuse to attack people. The only tripfag I've seen heavily mention samefag was Sage in one of her posts that reeked heavily of sarcasm and trolling.

In other words, TROLLS TROLLING TROLLS

That's because they make it painfully obvious it's them.

They throw a fit and say they are leaving /p/ but random posts pop in defending a tripfag, who else is it going to be? And see example below.

For one thing. OP is a tripfag posting as anon if that isn't painfully clear already. For another, the tripfags GOT TO GO!!! Get them the hell out of here so we can actually enjoy this forum. Hatefag was correct. They are horrible, terrible, cancer etc.

I used to post pics here, and anon would rip them. Which was fine and the reason I posted them here to begin with. As long as it was anon. All my pics were raw so I was looking for criticism on my technique. Then comes the cancerous tripfags, shooping the shit out of everything they do and then when your untouched image doesn't compare, it turns into a flame war.

tl,dr; tripfags = cancer. chemo is recommended.
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2
>>194669
Hey look! It's another Anon that's new around here and thinks any Anon that isn't rude to tripfags must be a tripfag!

Seriously, you kids are a _joke_. If you had really "been here since the beginning" rather than since 3 weeks ago, it would be painfully obvious to you that tripfags have been in /p/ forever, and /p/ was regarded as one of the better/more polite boards on 4chan for a while. Half of the tripfags left and then you people complain about the "new" tripfags. I'm still laughing at the guy that said /p/ needs to "go back to forced anon"
>> Anonymous
>>194691
/p/ was never forced anon, but /b/ was and it was better then. /p/ should be forced anon.
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2
>>194699
/b/ has gone back and forth every few months, it's nothing new for it to have tripfags occasionally. I'm still really, really getting the feeling that these "the tripcodes have to go" people are new to /p/

Also, tripfags are EXTREMELY common on every specific board. If you're just dying to be surrounded by Anonymous, stay in /b/.
>> kyol !xwPXzZtgeg
>>194669
Personally I would rather know who is critiquing my work. I've posted many photos and received much positive and negative response. That's the point of /p/, get over it. The fact that /p/ is mostly an anonymous board allows those who post anonymously to simply say whatever they want, causing the trolling and the "cancer" everyone keeps bitching about.

>> Anonymous
>>194532what makes you so sure that it's DC defending himself?

Because he keeps posting these troll pictures in every thread where people shit on Depressed Cheesecake. He's done it as himself and he's done it as anon.


>> are you forgetting that he was extremely-fucking-popular when he first posted here, or were you not around for that?

And now you sound a lot like him.

Extremely popular? What? I have a pretty damn good memory but I do not remember the content of his very first thread but it was posted anon. The vignetting _was_ present even then, was called out but let go.

His first thread as Depressed Cheesecake was the "on the beach" thing.

Someone said his friend was a faggot for holding the lens that way. You can see the picture in his Flickr.

beethy came in and said these were shit because they were random snapshots.

I actually called beethy out for being a faggot and jealous, he backed out as usual.

DC proceeds to post the original dog with strong vignetting and someone made the macro with it.

So please, do not give us this he was extremely well liked bullshit.

>> For a few weeks /p/ thought he was the best thing since sliced bread and then hatefags started raging about his model, vignetting, his model's makeup preferences, etcete-fucking-ra.

You sound a lot like him really.

I'm not here to judge his pictures but it's a fact that he's part of a select few that like to put earmuffs on and call everyone a samefag or CAN YOU DO BETTER on criticisms even when valid.
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2
>>194719
DC was well-liked at first, his name also isn't a recent development...he's been going by that in /fa/ for ages, too.

Honestly, you either have a really bad memory, or you just pretend to know more than you do.

>> Anonymous
>>194691If you had really "been here since the beginning" rather than since 3 weeks ago

I'm sorry, but who are you again? I have terrific memory and have been here since ac has.

I do not recall you ever posting in /p/ until the recent thread where you said you "came back" which puzzled me a lot because you were never here in the first place.

Or are you one of those "I've been posting as anon forever and this is my first time as a name user" person.

>> Half of the tripfags left and then you people complain about the "new" tripfags.

We still have Serenar, Vincent, pskaught and NatureGuy.

As for the ones who left.

ac was _never_ about quality but quantity. He posted a lot and was most vocal in gear threads. The few photo threads he made were not stellar and he freely admits it.

heavyweather, I will not personally comment on him because I was never feeling that guy.

Depressed Cheesecake and beethy, nothing of value was lost.

And that's it. We didn't lose anything important and in the end, it doesn't matter at all because all of them still post as anon.

If by "at first" you mean his second thread, yes. It all goes downhill from there.

You can't expect people hanging in /p/ to be in the know in every other board.
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2

Haha, I never said I "came back" because I never left. I've been posting here in some form for ages, I just post more now than I used to. I used to use a different name too (FujiNoriShotgunshell), so if you want to count that then I've been posting even longer, but that's just silly.

So you _are_ saying you are one of those "I've been posting as anon forever and this is my first time as a name user" person.

It was the thread before the LEGO figurine on the steering wheel thread where you announced your grandiose return to /p/.

>> I've been posting here in some form for ages, I just post more now than I used to. I used to use a different name too (FujiNoriShotgunshell), so if you want to count that then I've been posting even longer, but that's just silly.

I don't remember seeing that name but I'm a visual person.

If you could post key pictures you have posted under those names, it might bring back something.

Judging from your posting style, it would be pretty damn obvious to me if you were here before.

What did I post before the Lego figure? Looking through my folders, it was probably my Relay for Life stuff. If so...I didn't say I was back to /p/, I said I "just got back from shooting a Relay For Life event in my town"

And no, I'm not one of those people. I've been posting as sage or Fuji for most of the time I've been here, I just post far more often than I used to.
