They're doing it because they enjoy the attention people like you give them when you fail to simply report, hide and move on.

How fucking hard is it to ignore them? They'll look for food elsewhere if you don't feed them.

The problem is, no one is ignoring them.
If you can that's fine and fucking dandy but the fact is no one on /v/, /sp/ or /mu/ can.

>>580612 (OP)
shit posters are the ones that get the conversation/arguing going
Why would you ever want to rid 4chan of them?

>>580620
Then lead by example. Silently ignore them. Tell your friends off-site to do so.

If you cannot solve the problem then don't make it worse with threads like these.

>>580612 (OP)
>How do we stop the dedicated shitposters?
you can't

>Which site do you think they belong to?
4chan

>Why do you think they're doing this?
for fun.

>>580624
This thread is not making it worse at all.

>>580615

I don't even report them anymore because they're collecting their bans as a badge of honor or something. I just ignore now.

>>580628
You're giving them attention, exactly the thing they come here for. Just report, hide the thread and move on. It's not that hard.

>>580643
And there's nothing wrong with that. So long as you don't give them attention, you can do as you will.

>How do we stop the dedicated shitposters?
Hunt them down and kill them.

>Which site do you think they belong to?
4chan.org

>Why do you think they're doing this?
For the lulz.

>How do we stop the dedicated shitposters?
It's not that difficult. Pic related.
>Which site do you think they belong to?
All of them. You don't need a license to shitpost. If I wanted to, I could start shitposting now.
>Why do you think they're doing this?
That's case by case thing. For some, it's because they love attention. Others think it's funny. Some are just bored.

Obtain their true IP address and report to their ISP? I doubt any ISP wants to deal with any problems that could result in litigation.

4chan is just one big shitpost on the face of the rest of the internet.

>>580612 (OP)
>How do we stop the dedicated shitposters?
By not replying to them or giving them attention of any kind, which would include threads about them
>Which site do you think they belong to?
4chan, but they probably organize elsewhere on IRC or another site
>Why do you think they're doing this?
Because pissing people off is enjoyable for them and 4chan falls for it every time

>>580612 (OP)
>How do we stop the dedicated shitposters?
We can't. report, hide, and try to be the signal instead of noise.
>Which site do you think they belong to?
4chan.org
>Why do you think they're doing this?
because they're assholes, or that's their way of having fun on the internet
