I've been getting similar issues. It's acting like I'm range banned but says I can verify my email to get around it. Unfortunately the oddities don't end there.
When I go to verify, it makes me solve an image captcha. Thing is, after about 5 seconds it grays out the "Verify" button next to the email field and this message pops up:

Despite my browser settings having always been kept kosher for 4chan in the past, it insists that I need to change my cookie/script settings (which I'm not going to change, fuck you). Funny thing is, if I solve the captcha fast enough I can click the "Verify" button before that pop-up shows up and can get a verification email to generate, only when I finally click the verification link and solve the text captcha, it says the verification link is invalid or expired.

If this is how the site's going to function from now on, so be it, I think it's time I finally stop visiting this cesspit after nearly 20 years.
Well who the fuck is going to give an email to them, especially one of the unsafe ones they require, after they just got all of their data hacked recently? Are they fucking retarded? 4chan will struggle to make 2026 at this rate.
 
One thing I can say for certain is that certain boards couldn't be deader. /pol/, /tv/, /v/ and /co/ are quite active but /mu/ is a ghost town. Even 5 years ago, the board had what feels like three times as much activity. These days, the same posters make the same threads ad infinitum and nobody discusses anything of note outside genre threads, and even those are flooded with rank shitposts. It seems imageboards are a dying breed.
hard to keep a music board alive when the monoculture "music industry" from as little as 15 years ago is no more, in the very way /mu/ used it. hence all the discussion of old albums.
 
Looks like you caught a janny in the middle of xir dilation session. I tried to experiment if I could get banned in the same way, so I posted some schizo's doxx info and I didn't get banned.
Not even discord, reddit and twitch are as bad as modern 4chan. Modern 4chan is so bad you'll get banned for legit on topic content because the shills will report you for making their marketing look bad. Talk about fucking dead internet theory. 4chan is the most obvious case of it. Clearly post gaza too, so it's obvious why that's happened.

Edit: I found this on https://rentry.co/chans

Luckily, I backed it up but it is interesting.

I don't believe this is a tranny at all. I think this is targeted d&c for OPSEC reasons. They like using trannies for OPSEC as their strawman, clearly. This isn't the first time I've seen bait like this. They do this every time and both chans and this place fall for it every time. Even their own discords fall for it.

It's just odd that this would time with the social media crackdown globally and the Epstein release. Clearly the US defense or some other covert agency is psyoping the internet here. It's obvious. Might have something to do with recent revelations of pedophile rings being ran by defense personnel and law enforcement in 5eye states and why they pushed legislation giving them the go ahead to use such content with little to no tethers (such as for black market purposes) in my country. Explains why they implemented security checks on under 16s in many countries at the same time in these states, which is essentially a government dox used to socially engineer them from that point forward. Oh and use their nudes between each other for more black market purposes. You can guarantee the price if you have a strong fingerprint right? My theory is that on the black market they now require these fingerprints for the value of CP on the internet in the post AI world. It's also why they want to stop AI specifically more than IRL pedophile rings.

Oh and let's not forget that this censorship has already been used to cover up the gazan situation. We know what this black market is funding too. It's another Nicaragua situation. This time with CP and fingerprints.
What a wild world we now live in people.​

He's right you know.
"Containment" is an Obamism for unprotected borders.
The 4chan of today needs ICE.
An IP block on all of India and South East Asia would help.
Some /v/exicans can stay.

also RapeApe is not indian, figure it out anonymous.
 
I don't understand why indians try to be a reputation management service for other indians at this point. Surely they have to realize it's futile
"TBH this criticism of my reputation management business has tarnished both the reputation of myself, my family and my caste to the point that my only remaining choice is to kill you and then myself to salvage any remaining honor" - some indian guy probably

Was browsing /g/ and saw some anons discussing this pseudo-range-ban issue. The tl;dr one anon provided was that it's caused by some "threat detection score" the site uses to gauge whether posters are likely to be bots/spammers/other potential threats, which is apparently working overtime at the moment and seems to be causing issues primarily for Firefox users. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a ploy to simply pressure more people into buying passes.

One anon links to a line on 4chan's GitHub repository that's apparently the culprit of the issue. I'm not proficient in PHP, so can't really verify myself, but thought I'd link it for those that are interested or more knowledgeable.

"Gee, our website is pretty dead since all the good posters left decades ago and we're still bleeding users to this day, especially after the recent hack. How do we try to retain what little users we have left?"
"I know, we will make sure posting is as much of a pain in the ass as possible, or sometimes literally impossible! That should keep the engagement numbers nice and happy!"

The answer here is to hire jeets and troons as jannies!

>Also your threat score is lower as long as you consistently post every 15 minutes, so if you have a dynamic IP you may be able to post fine for a while then get that message for no reason.
That would explain why I was finally able to make 1 post the other day and then get stuck with the "IP ban" shortly after.

The likely excuse is "N-No new tech is perfect!", but I wouldn't be surprised if at this point the tranny jannies are also mainly doing all this shit to curate a hugbox for themselves, pushing the good/sane posters away while creating a pseudo-Kiwifarms, in that it's a lolcow den full of the stanchest of autists and lolcows, along with the bots, creating all the content for the tranny jannies and all the low IQ to participate in, since the site's been forever irony-poised.

It seems that RapeApe, alleged to be an indian from Canada, is using faulty php code to range-ban White American posters just to stop a single nigger (Leto), which perpetuates the decline of good posters on this rapidly mexicanizing website.
Instead of using "threat detection scores", which targets White IPs, maybe NarutoMod/RapeApe, alleged to be Indian, should range-ban based on the following chart:
1764215795053818.jpg
As you can see here, range banning india, Morocco, the middle east and Brazil would massively help to improve the website.
RapeApe is still focused on banning the "Australian" posters, maybe he feels this way because he's an indian from Canada, allegedly, and Australians are White.
This site is dying to nigger exhaustion, and range banning countries with retarded indian niggers that just parrot what they saw on a twitter feed would improve posting quality.

As for Leto, maybe a janny should zipperhead him firing a slug from a shotgun directly at his faggot nigger temple, for free.
Actually, every janny and moderator deserves to be killed, for free.
 
How do you even get a ban like this? What did you do?
Said something negative about a mod, a mod's special interest, or negative about black cock, Israel, India, or transgenders.
Seriously, 4chan has been shit for years, like I've said in a previous post here. Have you missed the entirety of the last mod leak? They're all foreigners, trannies, and actual jews. You can and will get banned for anything and everything, it is worse than reddit, same mods but even less of a leash on them.
