Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Space Police]

While discord does get labled as "CSAM.com" on this site and a lot of others, I feel like people ignore how telegram is 10X worse in regards to that stuff (Think Goonclown or Cecefem). I'm not sure how its managed to dodge that label, Maybe just dumb luck or ignorance. Sadly this has allowed for sharing of CSAM to grow as people aren't reporting such sharing groups to telegram nor informing people on other websites about said groups, (To those who didn't see the image before it was edited, it led to a telegram group).

Mostly because Discord allows CSAM despite being super censorious and non-private while Telegram is freer and more private.

Its honestly hard to keep up, i am not even that old but a lot of this would just fly over my head if i didn't browse the autism farms. For parents in their 40s and up busy with real life all the weird stuff thats going on with teens and zoomers online is getting hard to follow.

If you could remove, say 5 or 10 Boards from 4chan. What would they be? (and why?).

Anime/Cute (redundant board)
Cute/Male (redundant and gay, purpose served by multiple boards)
Flash (let's face it, I called that hometown over a decade ago but the format's fucking dead)
Video Games/Mobile (also redundant as fuck)
Pokemon (what the hell is the purpose if you aren't going to GR15 it and they're already swamped all over parts of the rest of the place anyway, it has a wider spread than the vtubers too)
Video Games/RPG (served by /vg/)
Video Games/Strategy (served by /vg/ with some functions arguably by /tg/ in a way)
Questions & Answers (it's dead, why is it still on the navbar)
Papercraft (deadass slow, I open the board and I see a thread from fucking 2022 after one scroll wheel flick, just about barely more alive than /qa/)
Current News (it's /pol/ but just news articles)

Telegram is less censored than other places. It's not better or worse, it's just harder to be caught.

All the /a/, /co/ and gay boards.

I think it would be funny to see what those faggots would do to another forum if their precious 4chan was deleted.

/co/ , /b/ , /mlp/, /tv/, /vt/

But tbh , i'd just close the entire site at this point and watch it all burn. I'd be more interesting to see what can come after that.

All the porn boards because they don't deserve a place on 4chan and the coomers will leave, hopefully making the rest of the site less degenerate. I'd keep /po/ and maybe prune some of the redundant boards, but getting rid of porn is a higher priority.

Porn has always been a cancer on 4chan but now there's more cancer than actual content even on boards that shouldn't have it at all.

/vp/, /trash/, /lgbt/, /r9k/, and /biz/ all attract (or are home to) large proportions of low-quality posters who refuse to adjust to site culture and are often underage, and aren't strong enough as boards on their own to be worth browsing (nor do they have large enough native user populations to offset all of the tourists, like /v/ or /pol/). They're easy choices, since they're net negatives on the quality of the site as a whole. /adv/ is also full of often-underage newfags if you scroll through the catalog, but I doubt any of them came to 4chan for /adv/ specifically, they just stop by to blogpost while they're already there.

Of course, nobody with the power to create and delete boards has any desire to actually improve the quality of discussion on the site, so it doesn't really matter.

/trash/ because it lost its original purpose. /bant/ because it never had a purpose. /pol/ and /b/ because those attract the dumbest people in existence.

/lgbt/ for a variety of reasons. I wanted to take a screenshot of some of the weird threads there, but the OP pic of the current sticky is enough to get the point across.



Notice the stickers that represent generals: mtfg, ftmg, AGPgen, chasergen, hrtgen, passgen. What a pile of shit.

They should delete it and replace it with /lgb/ and ban all troons from 4chan and all 4chan tranny jannies from life.

This picture made me revisit /tttt/, and it's much more of a nightmare now than it was before. There's a funny post about a pooner gooner, but the rest of it is pure brainrot of the highest degree and a cluster of namefags. There's one lulzy namefag in particular I'd like to mention: https://archived.moe/lgbt/search/username/RealOfficialPunishedMEFmoderVEVO (he/him)/
There's also this lunatic from Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/user/ancienttemplequeen. God, I hate this board. It really makes me grateful I use small boards only. And to think /tttt/ has the gall to position themselves as based troons.

/mlp/ - The brony faggot fad is over a decade old.
/biz/ - scam central
/vr/ - dying board with gay reddit-tier posters and repetitive discussions about old games that have been had millions of times already. Moderation is simultaneously draconian and lazy.
/vrpg/vst/vm - All redundant boards no one asked for. Mobile was supposed to contain the gacha cancer but nope because lel generals aren't allowed so take it to /vg/
/vp/ - Put them in /vg/
/lgbt/ - For obvious reasons. But considering it only exists for advertising purposes, gook moot should at least meet halfway and split it up and section off the trannies into their own board.
/cm/hm - redundant fag boards

Honorable mentions (shit boards that could be saved, with a change in rules/moderation)
/fit/ - devolved to be less about nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle changes and more about looksmaxing /r9k/ faggot shit. Simply get rid of the later (no more fucking balding threads) and focus on actual advice about fitness. No blogposting about not having a gf either.
/pol/ - delete all the low-effort, off-topic, and rage bait horseshit. Of course this would also require the glowniggers monitoring the board to fuck off.
/m/ - ban the shills who promote slop from the likes of Discotek Media

 

[Maskull]

I would turn all of the porn boards into text-only boards because fuck you.

Idk i don't use many
I mostly used /ic/ i never stepped on half of them such as r9k nor vidya nor anime since i smell faggotry from mile away but my main pick would be /pol/ and /co/

/Co/ is full of retarded braindead coomers that shit up board. Their opinion consists of if character is goonable and will throw all critique if they see a slight curve on them. Horrible contrarians with will to defend hazbin .

/Pol/ is full of same 5 topics some even getting 3 threads per day like i need to hear 300 reply, 100 reply and 10 one talking about same topic how some shitskin did bad thing, how women are bad because some twitter retard spoke

Also even if i wouldn't remove /ic/ i'd add some repercussions. Too many people fall for bait to the point there's a guy actively posting same story million times with same text on how they cannot draw and somehow despite them telling him multiple times all advice they could, he still comes back says he can't do it because reasons and spends more time talking than drawing
Even worse is text is still same and always goes like this:

>shitty image of line, cube cylinder in worst phone quality
>Guys how can i do it? I have Adhd autism or i'm lazy or retarded
>I quit everytime or something and also i quit on photoshop, source film maker, ect.
>Minimum 100+ replies

Agree with this, but we keep /pol/. There really isn't any good containment site for it now that 8chan is dead, and it's mere existence makes most of 4chan absolutely asshurt, justifying it's existence. If you shut down /pol/, that also means more people will flood this site solely to post on A&N, you really want that?
You know what board deserves to die? /vt/, fuck vtumors. You thought /pol/ brought in a ton of cancerous tourists? You haven't seen anything yet. That board has it's own Community Watch thread btw, not to mention several vtuber adjacent lolcows that have their own threads here as well. Moreover, there is the recent drama with the eldest oldfag GatorGamer as well. There is nothing good that comes from vtubers, keep that trash contained to /jp/, another useless dead board filled with cancer. We don't need /jp2/, this time even more cancerous.

Only thing worth it on /ic/ is the torrent threads. If you go there and get some books or a useful torrent to some learning resource then you can gtfo , stick with the books and not touch /ic/ anymore.

They should delete /mlp/ and then also repeal GR15 so ponies can be posted anywhere.

Agree with keeping /pol/, but they need to do better moderation so it's not just the same 15 slide threads on the homepage and you don't get the same thread spammed for 4+ years (see example below).

https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/text/women%20of%20color%20white%20guys/type/op/

Unsure about keeping memeflags, sure they're often used to troll or spam, but it is also a way to post slightly more anonymously.

Here are the 4chan janitor channel IRC logs from 2013-2015, as they were retrieved during the Heartbleed hack. These are difficult to find nowadays, or at least I couldn't find them until I remembered I have a copy in storage. Open the ##fullconcat file to view all of the logs at once.

Some of my favorite excerpts:

(13:08:56) ~moot: 4chan janiteam orgy

(16:42:19) SerWind: Am I missing something here. This keeps getting reported as illegal: https://images.4chan.org/b/src/1360277198330.jpg
(16:42:3 SerWind: possibly nsfw?
(16:42:53) ~moots: are you some kind of moron?
(16:42:57) ~moots: it's clearly CP
(16:43:01) ~moots: ban request it as explicit image
(16:43:02) ~moots: jesus
(16:43:16) SerWind: It looks like a fat guy with a shaved head having sun burn cream applied
(16:43:23) ~moots: oh
(16:43:26) SerWind: LOL
(16:43:36) +AoC: wwww
(16:43:42) SerWind: I'm never seen a dick that hairy anyway
(16:43:44) SerWind: I've*
(16:44:05) ~moots: delete it anyway so people stop reporting it
(16:44:14) SerWind: alrighty

(01:35:07) ~moots: the current state of /jp/
(01:35:11) ~moots: You're a piece of shit. Stop hiring these awful janitors who force their opinions on the entire board. Leave us alone. Fuck you.
(01:35:1 ~moots: what wonderful email i get from the misunderstood geniuses of /jp/

(18:50:26) ‹+nikka› can we add nigger to filter list already?

Jun 13 12:48:22 <Axism> Anti-anal fag is switching tactics
Jun 13 12:48:34 <Axism> he's now attacking the anal thread on /hc/ with images of prolapsed anuses

(22:33:57) Axis: I like him. If i want a thread to get deleted, i just start posting my interracialfolder, and them the thread is gone.

Jan 06 07:46:51 <WhatWinterLeft> Oh yeah, sorry alt I sleep mostly during the day because nighttime is when asuka spammer is active.
