I've been casually lurking this site for years, but now with 4chan down, I figured it's time to finally make an account here. Might as well start with an effort post.
One thing I've always found funny is just how little people understand what janitors are. Have you guys never looked at the janitor application page? It's literally all there. It's nothing hidden or secret, it's all public information.

At least once a year they put up link to this on top of the site and have a janitor recruitment drive, if you've been on 4chan for years, you must have seen it at least a couple of times. I'm not going to insult anyone's intelligence here by saying you should have considered applying to do it for free, but have you never been curious just how these things worked and looked at it to see what they want and what they offer?
All janitors can do is delete posts and threads and snitch on you to moderators, "Mommy! This guy said the nigger word! Ban him!" They can't see your IP and see which posts are yours. Unless they have some kind of internal ID system? But I haven't seen anything in the leaks about it. Think about it, if janitors, and there's what, like two hundred of them according to this leak, could see users IP, you'd have that shit leaking constantly and janitors targeting people they hate. They can't even ban you. All they can do is forward your posts to mods and hope they ban you.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying jannies dindu nuffin, leave them alone, I've had more than my fair share of bad experiences with garbage janitors. And seriously, what the fuck were these retards thinking, using e-mail addresses with their actual names on it? Or what the fuck was 4chan thinking, not throwing away their applications in the trash the second they applied with fucking .edu e-mails? It makes me wonder if the mod team is desperate to recruit jannies if their standards for tech literacy are that low.
