I just find it so fucking funny there's word filters on an "anonymous messaging board"
Every forum and message board has had a word filter for spam and low effort posts since the beginning of time, doubly so when it's an imageboards without accounts which makes it very difficult to ban repeat offenders.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHA Imagine using yandex for anything other than their reverse image search. No wonder this faggot is always butthurt, he's an actual retard!!!
SNOOT WON
MONGOLIA LOST
Even that doesn't work now. Yandex was the go to for image searching for anime and shit and now it's utter bollocks. SauceNAO is the only decent one remaining,
 
Now that's scary but I'm not surprised mods use this, they do a similar thing for pass users IE: they use the passes as a way to keep track of your ban lists from your IP, and they can add more onto it if you're a particularly problematic poster, basically mods can just ban because you've already been banned lots of times before
When you buy a pass you basically agree to hand over your details in exchange for no capcha. Rolling this out to everyone then trying to cover it up is another level of scummy
 
i have zero interest in running an imageboard. my work with imageboards was one of the most painful experiences of my life. completely thankless suffering. you wade through oceans of child porn just to have people yell at you constantly. 9chan basically skewered all my idealism.
i just want a working games board. the threads we have now are very slow and some topics clearly aren't segregated. it does suck what happened to 9chan i was really hoping that it would be successful after the shit that happened with 8chan.
 
please kill the stupid Russian /vg/ butthurt troon janny
I am curious about that janny with the hidden ban reasonings we now know that jannys can give. That Janny nukes any mention of Russia in a negative even if its in a game thread where the Russians are a faction/enemy.

HAHAHHA HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT ABIB. I remember some dedicated autist was making spam threads complaining about him on /v/ for ages. I also remember some anons posting images of him acting like a freak on the 4chan irc and typing corny messages all the time larping as an anime girl.

Well if we're gonna do the oldfag reminiscing thing again:

I visited off and on from mid 2008 to maybe 2016. There were two very marked shifts in moderation during that time:

The first was in 2009-2010 when moot had to testify in federal court in regards to a kid who guessed Sarah Palin's yahoo email password and posted it on /b/. I am 100% positive that this resulted in a law enforcement/glownigger presence behind the scenes. The main reason I say this is primarily because CP spam disappeared overnight, but there was also an apparent change in what was and wasn't allowed to proliferate in terms of "board culture". There is no doubt in my mind that the Palin email thing put a lot of eyes on the site and moot acquiesced to cooperating with LEAs in order to keep himself out of legal trouble, and reigning in the site for that reason. This was around the time /pol/ was made as a containment board.

The second was in 2014-2015 when a tumblr user orchestrated a suicide hoax in response to raids from 4chan and gamergate in order to put heat on the site (basically, byuu). This had a similar effect, and there were rumors and leaks circulating in 2014-2015 that moot purged the existing staff and installed actual honest to god tumblr tranny jannies in response, this conspicuously coinciding with him dating some university sjw tumblrina and the creation of /lgbt/. This controversy and Gamergate in general obviously prompted his decision to clean the site up for sale, and thus a further enfaggoting of rule. This was also in the era of post-OWS idpol where media was driving attention to issues of race, sex, orientation, religion etc to distract from the wealth inequality and class disparity that had prompted OWS, and 4chan was once again a prime target. Moot folded and effectively Old Yellered the site and sold the corpse to a gook as dog meat, if you ask me 2015 was the year 4chan died for good.

And while I wasn't around for the pre-2008 era I can confirm that even in 2008 there was a felt sense of Eternal September 2.0 from the advent of the iphone putting normalfags on the internet -- /r9k/ was made to combat a perceived stagnation/repetition problem all the way back in 2008, as people were already bitching about low effort image macros like motivationals and advice dog etc.

So essentially you had the 2003-2007 era, the 2008 to 2010 era, the 2011 to 2015 era, and the 2016 onward era, each getting progressively shittier and more authoritarian and more calcified and homogenous in terms of memes and discussion and culture, and with the ratio of fun to slop steadily diminishing, such that regardless of what era you experienced, it was never as good as it used to be, but it always got worse afterward. That's why we all feel the same nostalgia for entirely different eras. Basically,

eef.webp

It's worth noting that these are just the conclusions I've come to through being there and a lot of subsequent conjecture, I'm very interested to see whether the /j/ leaks confirm or refute them.
