Don't try to re-enact the whole secret fight club rule LARP on a separate non-imgboard forum after posting this yourself.
The last time I admitted it people started treating me like I was gonna shoot up the school at one point.
I just find the notation of calling yourself "As a channer" fucking retarded.

Maybe, but it still has far less stigma to being a farmer. Even people that will admitt browsing 4chan will hard time admitting they browse here. Not judging, or implying one is better, just telling like it is. It helps that 4chan has some fairly nothing burger chill subs, such as /c/. When people think crazy 4channer they are mostly thinking /pol/ or /b/

Usually Latinos don't give a fuck either way, but in english communities? People would rather be labeled a channer than a kiwi. The social stigma is far greater.
 
There is a fascinating anon on /3/. He will offer the most bizarre unprompted advice, and if asked to post his work he will offer up simulated fleshy horrors that will sear your retinas. Every time I see him, his work gets less and less human. He also believes himself to be a visionary in the field.

Here is the latest exchange i found between an anon and "the flesh monster guy"

Lately, I have been annoyed by Janitors obviously abusing their powers to single me out.

I can tell because whenever I post in those boards that don't show your flag or location (e.g., not /Pol), I have noticed that suspiciously some anonymous users make comments like how I am obviously "ESL" or how I watch telenovelas. My English might not be perfect, but I do spell-check and blend in very well otherwise. Other times, they magically seem to be able to recognize me in other threads despite me sometimes making only one-line comments. "Oh you did x again."

I don't care if people know I am Mexican or not, but them using moderator privileges is kind of shitty because we are all supposed to be anonymous. On equal footing—They of course play dumb because supposedly 4chan mods can't tell they are mods. Recently, one said I watch too much "telenovelas." I never even hinted I was Mexican. I called the Janitor out and he played dumb and he changed it to "Brazilian telenovelas" AFTER I called him out on being an obvious Janitor. Maybe I am being paranoid, but it seems extremely unlikely someone would use the term "telenovela" instead of soap opera unless they could see my IP address and nationality somehow. It's just too specific.

The extremely common "ESL" comments I get that seem to be used as a trump card from some "anons" is super common in my experience. As if they think pointing out I am not american instanly makes them win an argument. I just find them very suspicious.

But who knows? Maybe I am seeing patterns that don't exist. I don't trust 4chan mods to play fair that I can say for sure.
There was a phenomenon on r9k some years ago where mods kept tracking some local anons and even tried visiting them in real life after doxing them using the various posts they had made. Sadly, no archive of this happening exists, but mods have been known to personally track anons out of some strange vendetta or need for revenge they feel. I wouldn't discount the possibility of it actually being a mod following you in this case.
 
but this "general" posting gets a permanent?

Even without prior knowledge of exactly what kind of thread this is, looking at the first 100 posts should really activate your neurons that this thread might just not be full of random anonymous users that have chosen to participate in a random thread.

Specifically yes, this is a general disguised as an actual topic with a Touhou related image in the original post.
It is a consistent 24/7 type of thread with the same namefags, ritualposts and cliques with a Touhou theme ran by a handful of people (who refer to themselves as /v/hu) who simply feel that neither /vg/, /jp/ nor Discord are cool enough for their circlejerk. At the time of said ban, there were 3 active "/v/hu" general threads.

Well, thanks for getting me context. I'm too lazy to search up archives anyways and I only saw it as interesting because its a rare permaban being used on something that isn't really permaban material, but the tranny jannies love to jerk off to the disgusting shit so they give only temp bans to them.
 
>As a channer myself
:lossmanjack: I actually recoiled in disgust from that sentence. Why would you fucking call yourself that or better yet why would you even admit to using 4chan in the first place. The whole fucking point is being anonymous on a website. I can tell he even tries to become the local namefags himself on there as well.
Pfft. It's 2025. Practically everyone has posted or looked at 4chan at least once. Exactly the main reason it sucks.
 
Who the fuck drinks five cups of coffee a day
It's a common way to self-medicate ADD. :suffering:

More on-topic, I revisited an old favorite general today and was shocked to see it was good. Full of new regulars and fresh OC with none of the tired schizo drama that'd been plaguing it while I was still using 4chan. I guess this is one place where the timer is accomplishing its purpose.

Almost makes me want to join in again.

I have zero doubts that they used RK9's ips' for tracking before and likely still do.

So far, it's mostly been silly internet arguments. I've noticed that some people in this thread are skeptical. However, try using a non-American IP address, especially a Latin American one, and you'll start seeing a noticeable increase in "ESL" comments. It becomes hard not to raise an eyebrow. It's something you might only notice if you're not American.

At the very least, people should be more cautious about the so-called "anonymous" aspect. There's a high chance that constant tracking is happening through verification emails and IP monitoring by moderators. I'd recommend using a VPN, though good luck finding one that works—most I've seen have already been flagged and banned due to trolls on 4chan.

This doesn't pass the sniff test at all. Why would mods travel at their expense to personally visit some random anon's house, for any reason? There's nothing to gain, and it would break the veil of anonymity for them as much as it would for whatever poster. Maybe a petty mod would stalk someone across the site using their post history, but this just sounds like a campfire story they tell newfags or something.

How convenient, considering both desuarchive and archived.moe have archives of /r9k/ going back over a decade. Calling pics or it didn't happen on this.
