There is no denying that 4chan is consistently shitting the bed with how the website is managed, but what's the alternative for a good image board with the same resources found in the various boards and generals and where certain communities congregate ( Mogra ) ?
 
Spur transforms obfuscation into evidence, so you can stop threats hiding behind VPNs, proxies, and other anonymization infrastructure.

Looks like RapeApe has given up and is now paying anywhere up from $1.6k a month in order to deal with the residential proxy spam. No wonder there's a push to get people to pay for the pass.
What puzzles me is why is this solution so reliant on the user allowing these requests to go through. Wouldn't it be better to do that on the backend so that you don't reveal the inner workings of what you're using to block off the attacks? Now the attacker can register an account with the same service and have a much easier way figuring out how to work around the security mechanism. Not to mention the fact that the attacker is now probably laughing at how his shitty bots are potentially costing 4chan hundreds of thousands of dollars annually even when these bots are not running.

Took a quick peek at nu/pol/ to see how the board was doing. First thread I see is a heated argument about how the brown masses will inherit the future and that's le based because browns treat women like dirt... (:_(

It’s become impossible to tell the third worlders apart from the leftoid Redditors arguing in bad faith and the petulant contrarians that make discussion of current events impossible.

The site is all scripting on ancient code. Rapeape cant make any changes to the core website.

To be fair I think everyone is laughing at that. Absent dad Hiro and Rapeape are two of the most unlikable people in the world. They should have Elon buy the site so 0% of the population approves of 4chan's management.

Wew, in a /g/ thread with people having problems to post due to what Archeops and BiggestKai have complained about, all it took was me mildly criticizing their attempts to get people to buy passes for them to slap a wrong ban for VPN/proxy on me even though I was using my real IP. No way I'm clearing cookies to do the humiliation ritual captchas again. If the appeal doesn't work, then that will be goodbye. Also note to self: never post on /g/ again, 95% of my bullshit bans happen on that godforsaken board. Worst jannies on the entire site.

Appeals almost never work. I'm not sure I've ever seen evidence of someone's ban overturned on appeal. What does happen and what I have seen is bans extended or ban timer restarted if they don't like the tone or argument of your appeal. So it's basically a humiliation ritual that has no benefit except for some smug ass 4chan mod to get his rocks off. I've seen people say to go beg your case on IRC (why have the appeal system if this is the better channel though...?), but honestly, from what I've seen of the IRC that's really not the way to go either.

It seems 4chan is retaliating against uBlock Origin to some extent: the extension blocks spur.us and mcl.io connections which prevents captchas from loading. Brave's built-in ad blocker doesn't so I guess I'll have to use that and disable uBlock if I want to post on 4chan again.

So that’s what was causing that. I just went into incognito mode and it seemed to fix it. Brave works as well.
 
Fuck it, if they don't want me posting there legit, I am siding with team schizo spammer. What are those sites where you can proxy-post on 4chan even if your VPN is banned there? Might as well learn how to use that instead, less of a pain in the ass than having to deal with the site itself.
