Warnings pop up the next time you post anything after they were issued.
That guy must have thought that the post was what got him warned.
 
So looks like 4chan is going to split the SFW from NSFW boards onto a new site to make ad money. Live thread right now at /qa/thread/2421255#p2421615

This sucks.

This is an episode of futility by Hiroyuki. 4chan has no ability to use credit card processors because it's been labeled as an "alt-right" website by Stripe. You can only buy a 4chan pass with crypto now. He is so delusional that he actually thinks that a simple rebranding and reorganization can save him. It won't work, and it's utterly a waste of time.

These card processors need to be regulated as public utilities otherwise these shenanigans will keep happening. Imagine if you lived in the 1930s, and you were refused access to use the Ma Bell phone system because you were a communist. Thank God for crypto, but most people still have a Boomer-tier knowledge of them so it's not viable option for a long-term solution.

Even if his reorganization evasion attempt was successful. It would still be difficult to find advertisers for the website. I know Kiwi Farms used to have an AdSense, but if some spastic user on your website violates the TOS on AdSense or another advertisers' policy, your account could be suspended even if you take proper action.
