Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Blade 1222]

One thing I never understood was why a site that is supposed to be anonymous like 4chan would implement a wait time to post that can be bypassed by using an email? giving your email to 4chan defeats the purpose of an anonymous image board.

For control of course

Oh sure the "original" reason why was supposedly /biz/ suffering from pajeet marketer spammers and wanting people to get verified to post and it was either email or just waiting out the timer and then it got put on the boards as months went on, but at the end of the day it was just another way of 4chan keep track of emails. Before then all you really had was passes. the appeal form and feedback. and I guess technically the email field itself. But hardly anyone used them, force a timer? Now you're getting somewhere. We already know they used email hashes to keep track of certain posters even though they stated in worded print all emails wouldn't be stored after verification

How are you tranime/vtroomers enjoying the Live Talent board so far?

There’s a funny tidbit in the Reuters article about the hack.

Just for reference, the "explicit four-minute video montage" was gachimuchi, and the follow up "different video with similar content" was, you guessed it, more gachimuchi.

ATTENTION ALL SOYNIGGERS! ATTENTION ALL SOYNIGGERS!

As the acting administrators of 4chan.org, it is now under your purview to improve the user experience of the site as you see fit. Please allow me to share my thoughts on how best to accomplish this.

1. Remove the 15 minute post counter, remove the VPN rangebans, and reimplement the IP counter
2. Rangeban IPs from Brazil, India, Israel, and all of SEA
3. Stickied threads on every board with the do-I mean phonebooks of every trannyjanny that "moderated" it
4. Disable any shadowban or janny shadowposting features
5. Add webp support
6. Any deleted posts caused by a ban must now display the "private reason"
7. Remove all ads
8. Regularly updated infographics at the top of every board's catalog showcasing statistics of from what countries IPs are posting
9. Send out regularly scheduled emails to the niggercattle who were retarded enough to give an email to Hiroshimoot and his trannyjanny army reminding them of their niggercattlery
10. Nuke all the fag boards

Thank you for your time and consideration.

This would fix 4chan, but it would never happen

This is not a real person. This is a facemorph of chudjak and John Oliver.

Shalom, left-/pol/ poster!
Also 4chan has been bad since its inception. The only thing that changed is the influx of botspam which required implementing more and more layers of protection both on the admin side (captcha) and the user side (filters).

Wrong direction. If horseshoe theory is correct I wrapped around 3 times to the right and arrived back at the middle

4chan was extremely good from 2003-2007

PDF (and user submitted content) sanitizing is basic shit; they really must have not given a shit about updating the site or its security if they fucked that up.
And if this is true, then they need an almost total re-write, or to switch to a different more modernized imageboard engine entirely.
Switching is probably the better option at this point, because who at this point will be willing to fund a developer to update and then maintain the code?

Total rewrite, there are too many calls.

Retarded shit like this as well:

shell_exec("some_command $file");
system("convert $file output.png");

...and

$f = fopen($tmp_file, 'rb');
$magic = fread($f, 4);
...
$compressed_data = fread($f, $file['size'] - 12);

No MIME check from my quick glance at it, and holds data in memory.

Can't belive this is how The Relentless /f1/ General died... I miss those goofs already. We had 7807 consecutive threads in the catalog without ever getting archived.

My interest for that general died around 2022 when tranny jannies banned WAGs poster anon. He was the glue holding it together. Shame it ended up as a boring blogposting general with schizo spammers everywhere.

 

[burусhU1О]

Well /gif/ was a total shitfest, 90% tranny bbc porn, 5% (other) weird fetish porn, 4% rekt videos and 1% other chuddy stuff. It also got spammed a lot with weird spam shit.

Don't forget the ylyl fligu gigu and the impossible whopper

Nobody is going to rewrite 4chan, there's nothing to gain from it. The only person we could find to even try to rewrite fresh imageboard software was Josh, because he's the only one who would move to the Philippines and live on the money I could find in the cracks between my couch cushions

 

[Hentai-Semitism]

There's a mod and/or janny incredibly close to where I live. Using dox info I found his grandmother's obituary and traced his family lineage and we happen to be maybe 8th cousins or something. What do? Am I what you call a "cowtipper" if I interact with him? Are jannies honorary cows?

Put a sticky note on his door that says "I know". Nothing else.

 

[SeedPaste]

Because it gives them the best stalking tool possible.

I for one had some janitor or moderator inject ban-worthy posts under my IP on blue boards in order to ban me from arguing with their hivemind on a particular NSFW board. I look forward to seeing if that gets unveiled, because I did shamefully use a throwaway email to stop from getting captcha cucked.

4chan could implement anonymous profiles with a point system. Each anon gets a unique, non-identifiable profile tied to their posts, preserving anonymity. Users can rate posts (e.g., +1 for quality, -1 for spam), with high-rated posts boosting the poster’s points. Accumulated points could unlock minor perks, like custom flair or priority thread visibility, incentivizing better content. Moderation should shift to a transparent, community-elected team to rebuild trust, with strict backend security upgrades to prevent leaks. This balances anonymity with accountability while rewarding quality contributions.

iconic last post though

Yes. I also forgot to mention that he hosts IRL meetups where troons literally have orgies. Pic attached are some of the troons at an IRL party hosted by Kenkai/Krial who fucked several of them.

The schizoposts mentioning Jelly are about a mentally ill schizo that killed himself in January. He was doxed by Kenkai/Krial and was one of his main janny abuse targets on /trash/.

This is some shit out of rocky horror

That kind of system pretty much always turns into people "farming" points. People like seeing numbers go up, implementing any system which allows for that leads to bait posts and constant uninteresting reposts.

4chan was horribly mismanaged and security was appalling, but in general parsing PDFs looking for malware is difficult even for websites with proper security, it's an abomination of a format and you can hide all sorts of arbitrary code in it that reader software will happily execute
