I've been administering an imageboard with over 7k daily posts (as a sum of all boards) for 2 years now. I'll be sharing some of the new things I learned about imageboards and imageboard users after I was able to see it from the inside.
Moderation is pretty strict on some subjects and I've always kept a tab on users that I enjoy reading, keeping up with or just chasing because they're ban evaders.
Most of the first few lines are politics related, skip them if they don't interest you.
>most gayish imageboard users have a very fluid homosexuality, in a span of 1 month they'll go from shunning homosexuality and citing religious quotes to teasing other anons sexually and discussing anal masturbation
>most imageboard users are not gay, though I've seen many become homosexual years after they started lurking because of gay threads
>just because someone is gay, it doesn't mean much about their political alignment
>sissy hypno fags exist and they're the most shadow gay of all, they'll suddenly open up about it even though they never talk about gay stuff
>around 40% of leftists shills become right wing/conservative/natsoc/racially aware after a couple of months of being banned
>if leftist shills do not become rightwing, they will at least pick up some part of (sorry for using this term) right wing narrative, which leads to them not being comfortable inside of any leftist movements, distancing them from their political groups(the only way they're still able to identify among themselves afterwards is through sheer personality cult to dead leftist leaders and what they think such leaders thought)
>leftist shills try to use the jewish "conspiracy" on rightwing candidates and such to disregard them(not that there are many candidates out there who aren't controlled by jews) and at the same time support actual jews in other posts(for example, the guy posting Trump is a Jewish whatever will then slip out about how Hillary was better or how Bernie Senders had xyz that Trump doesn't)
>there are groups of people putting coordinated effort into shilling(at least in my imageboard)
>neets indeed do find jobs eventually, even it is just unskilled labor few times a week(one of the most interesting things I found out about)
>everyone who likes cats over dogs is a faggot
>femdomfags are closet feminists at best
>people who don't "get" the jewish """conspiracy" are simply newfags, and they can be of any political leaning, libertarian, conservative, etc and still disregard any charts about jews(but ofc most shunning antisemitism are leftists)
>niggers who post interracial porn usually complain about not being able to have sex or other social disabilities in other threads, being suddenly exposed to racism hits them
>lots of brown people claim to be white
>anons are fast shapeshifters, changing height, face, dick size and even careers in a matter of seconds, though always slightly(like give or take an inch from height)
>anons WILL claim lies to give validity to whatever they're saying, such as that they work in a certain area or have certain specification
>samefags do exist
>in a 2 years span, I've seen around 15 threads where 40/50 posts is just the OP samefagging and discussing with himself(not a bot)
>strawman is actually a thing and people WILL samefag 1/3 threads to prove how they're right, mostly when discussing politics
>every now and then someone will pick a thread from years back, wherever it got it from, and use a script to repost it, post by post, as if the discussion happened again, with fake intervals and all(no political leaning or anything, just seems completely random)
>the thing where you'll be hating one anon in a thread and then being friendly with him the next one is true, it happens to me all the time until I realize the dude being friendly with me is the faggot from the other thread, then I'll surprise hate him in the thread where we're having a friendly conversation
>vast majority of mods do not keep tabs on specific anons(as opening their histories just to read what they've posted today), only some insane neet mods do, but most active mods end up being able to recognize posts from a ton of users even when logged off
>threads about the same subjects rarely differ much in users, the experts and newbs are always the same
>top neet users can achieve rates of 70 posts per day on extreme cases
>lots of users just sit in the 5~12 posts a day range
>some users never create threads, other users create 5 threads in a total of 7 posts
>most users I knew where neets eventually had to find something to do, such as helping their dad in some low skill labor(if they're poor) or just going to do construction work by themselves
This item is kinda sad, I see lots of people who are multilingual, incredibly capable(as in mind), good tastes, but never trained and have to do shit tier jobs among drug users etc because they're 20 something and never did anything after highschool.
>quite a few users carry a cross, as in they had their lives ruined by something somewhere and now just lay low in imageboards(firings, divorces, accidents, fake accusations, traumas, family problems that set them back out of nowhere)
>most gay users were victim of sexual abuse by teenagers of the same sex when they were 6~11 or had sexual experiences with other children when they were young(perhaps imageboards only helps awaken homosexuality? I've seen many users become gay through the span of ~5 months while I've seen forever straight anons)
>some anons are parents
>there are women lurking and posting, though they're rareish
>most people who claim to be women aren't, while actual women sometimes slip and give out that they're a women from somewhere in their text
>some of the people roleplaying as animegirls are women, men are still the vast majority, and most aren't gay
>seemingly straight women who like anime will sometimes post softcore 2d porn every now and then, being most of the times bodies from anime men in good shape or cute naked anime girls(even some pussy close ups or spread, interesting), never actual sexual intercourse
>the users who claim to be 30 year olds are not joking, there are plenty of users who range in age from 30 to 40 years
>there are even more anon over 25 year olds
>the newfag influx is way bigger than what anyone outside moderation thinks
>people who come from really weird or retarded forums are way better at assimilating than plain newfags or reddit fucks
>there are lots of furry "sleeper cells", once a furry thread is open lots of people will post furry porn out of nowhere and even have their first gay posts ever without any inhibition
>older anons tend to change less from the things they're exposed to on imageboards
>people who claim to be an oldfag or on imageboards since whatever year as a way to credit themselves are all liars and really new newfags
>some users will recognize other users and chase after them, either openly or discretely(just going after them to interact, without letting the other party know)
>brown people will sometimes claim to be white, then proceed to complain about their bad hair or brown skin on a different thread
>black people will claim to fuck white girls or that white girls like black guys, then proceed to complain on different threads about how they're short, ugly, can't get a girl etc
>some users will take tab on other users, while this can get pretty advanced, I've never seen someone go too far as to be able to locate someone or do something more than just tease the "victim"even I have some users I want to locate as a curiosity and I've not been able to
>some users have a completely different behavior on different boards
>there some cases of brothers or people in the same family who both lurk imageboards and post under the same IP
>virtually no hapas(or they just claim to be asian) lurk on imageboards really(I guess it must be bigger on nano and 8ch)
>plenty of users know Japanese or are Japanese, though autistic, Japanese people are over represented
>certain cities and states are seriously over represented on levels that don't even make sense
>I once saw a user posting a grass type pokemon talking in thread about flowers, when I checked his geoip to see if he was a certain ban evader, his IP was literally in the middle of a forest
>most users post from clean IPs, but recently VPN use has been severely increasing(and it's still as easy to track users)
>at least we have never cooperated with the police or asked any orders, though we voluntarily report IPs from users who try to raid us with CP(like more than just posting once)
>there are jews who lurk and post, while their political views are as jewish as possible, they do not post much on political threads, and they usually give really good tips related to business, career and investments(though they might be total shitposters as in bad taste and have really bad behaviors when discussing different subjects)
>literal banking Jews, masonic Jews and deep water Jews might be replying to you and you're not aware of it
>users who post cuckold porn usually turn out gay or are just are just butthurt niggers
>there's this one big brother who'd recognize his brother posting pattern(or simply a thread his brother made) and then report himself explaining that his brother is underage and should not be posting, also telling his bad deeds(the younger brother would then proceed to appeal the ban trying to say it was a joke, that he hates his brother and is going to get back at him or that it was his neighbor trolling him)
That's all I can think of right now.

How do you know so much about your users?

Nanonymous No.12591 [D]

>>12590
I'm a neet.
Before being an admin, I'm a user.
You'll eventually recognize the more active posters without even realizing it when you're there day after day seeing their IP and all on top of their posts.
On the other hand, for some reason, a certain poster might become an object of interest for me, where I'll just daily open their histories and check what they've been up to, maybe give them some replies.
I don't actually take note as in writing down stuff(sometimes I might save their entire histories, even more so for people who have been evaders in the past), mostly I just keep it in my mind.
From that, I've been able to see plenty of change in their lives during this 2 year period.
That aside, I know about the leftists shills and their changes because these retards are big time ban evaders and I have to actively chase after them.

Nanonymous No.12592 [D] >>12593

>>12584
Can tell if this is the most elaborate larp i ever saw or an actual valuable document lol.
Can you tell me what are some way you use to track users? I do keep tabs on users on nano myself(i don't glow i swear) but i have no way of knowing if somebody is gay, black or is a woman, even if you know their IP address you can't know these informations right?
You won't tell us which imageboard this is i guess, wouldn't be so hard to guess if the users number you gave is real though.
>>12589
Whoever you're quoting is not me, this is my first post in this thread.

>>12592
>Can you tell me what are some way you use to track users?
Having access to their IPs makes it simple, even if they change IP every now and then through VPNs or whatever.
At the slightest hint of thinking it might be them, you can open up their history and have 10 other replies to analyze.
By saving their histories, you also save their filenames. People who frequently post images are way easier to track. Some might post dogs, animegirls, cats, football player reaction pictures at a once a day rate and it's enough to make you sure it's them with other slight hints.
From saving histories and doing a deeper analysis, you can also pick up some of their linguistic mannerisms. For example, they might start phrases a specific way, reefer to the person as they're quoting as anon really often, use "I"/"me" often, phrase questions a specific way, etc.
There might be over 5 thousand weekly users, but when discussing certain subjects it's easy to figure out who's who, too.
One cool thing to do is use http://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ when I want to know more about someone that has picked my interest, though this is most of the times flawed.
>but i have no way of knowing if somebody is gay, black or is a woman
I discover that information because once you read someone's posts for weeks maybe you're able to realize those things clearly, or in other cases there will be a literal gay thread and they'll openly talk about gay stuff. Discovering if someone's a nigger or brown is just as easy. Maybe they'll post about their hair, experiences, or just do the usual niggerposting.
Discovering if someone is a woman is harder because some never really come out, but they often give do some slight slips.
You don't even need to open their histories to investigate really, if you share interests with someone, you'll often be in the same thread as them and end up realizing "wow, this is the dude from the other day", from then on you'll always notice that person.
In fact, if you're a neet and a really active mod, you'll usually know who's new to the discussions.
Now, if I jump into a politics thread, which I usually only open to clean up the shills, I won't recognize much besides the shills, because I don't frequent that.
Same about sports threads, or any subjects or boards that do not pick my interest.
Tracking someone through an imageboard without access to IPs is possible, and I've seen people do it pretty well, but being able to see someone's entire post history gives you way more information.
>You won't tell us which imageboard this is i guess, wouldn't be so hard to guess if the users number you gave is real though.
I won't. And yeah, it's not really hard, but nowadays there are at least 7 imageboards that fit the bill that I can think of right now.
Other than that, from what I've been talking, I must have made user safety seem really low.
Among admins and mods, no one admits to keeping tabs on people out of interest alone(I don't really believe anyone does, I barely do it to around 4 people, right now I don't do it anymore to almost anyone really), and yeah, the average mod/admin ends up picking up who's who unintentionally(as a couple personal traits of a user), but it's not a big deal, really.
For example, there are some dudes that I just know they like such anime etc.
The ones who're really well known to mods are ban evaders, and they are way dumber and easier to identify than they think.
Again, in specific threads, it's easy to know who's who.
VPNs in certain countries don't cover such wide ranges, too.
Ban evaders are not banned forever. It's impossible to keep up with everyone that has ever evaded a ban forever.
If the ban evader has been behaving, has been punished enough(for example, having his posts deleted), the mods will still look him up every now and then, but usually if he's been behaving, they'll let him be, though way more sensitive if he gets near doing whatever he used to do.
I'll be posting random images just to have my posts stand out a little.

Nanonymous No.12595 [D] >>12597

How many imageboards even have 7k posts per day?
>everyone who likes cats over dogs is a faggot
based
>>12590
Even before I got control of the servers and the access logs (which I only look at with a tail -f, the rest is deleted periodically), it was pretty easy to identify recurring posters based on their interests, writing styles, quirks and personalities. I still can do that, to a certain extent, but I've stopped keeping track of every post made ever since hakase's /t/ split so it's not as easy for me to do so now

Nanonymous No.12597 [D]

>>12595
>How many imageboards even have 7k posts per day?
Komica, hispachan, 8chan, 4chan, adnmb2, 2ch(and another japanese imageboard I forgot the name of), there's also the substitute for krautchan and the main russian imageboard which I forgot the name of.

Nanonymous No.12601 [D] >>12603

>>12593
In the end imageboards are just a mean of communication even if you have a secure channel(proxied ip, encrypted channel, etc) if you give out your identity or pseudo-indentity in the message you cannot expect anonimity, here on nanochan i feel people are more careful about what they give out about themself as i said earlier there is no way of knowing sex/race/sexuality of a nanon here(beside retards like asukafag) so tracking users is more difficult but not impossible, i think i can recognize most people here from interests and writing style for example i am pretty sure you post on /l/ /a/ and /b/ and you joined last month.

As a mod, can confirm. It really is just me not giving a fuck. I'm here to take care of annoying faggots, not to stalk people.

>people who claim to be an oldfag or on imageboards since whatever year as a way to credit themselves are all liars and really new newfags
Hah, that lesson I learned before I figured out how to triforce way back.

>I once saw a user posting a grass type pokemon talking in thread about flowers, when I checked his geoip to see if he was a certain ban evader, his IP was literally in the middle of a forest
I can 1up this, though only 2nd hand:
Some guy had some (((child modeling))) downloads on his site. Apaprently no porn, but oh well. Anyway, he went to see who was downloading just for fun. Amongst the list was a guy who was downloading from Paris. On his Smart TV.

>there's this one big brother who'd recognize his brother posting pattern(or simply a thread his brother made) and then report himself explaining that his brother is underage and should not be posting, also telling his bad deeds(the younger brother would then proceed to appeal the ban trying to say it was a joke, that he hates his brother and is going to get back at him or that it was his neighbor trolling him)
I lol'd. Big bro should have just asked small bro on the board wether pic related is his room and watch him flip his shit.

How often do you check the histories of users when their posts get reported?
What do you think when someone's first post is a new thread?
How do you handle new mods? I doubt you go ahead, ask for ID and then meet them in person doesn't the 4um actually requite mods to ID now? so how do you handle the possibility to be given a bunch of bullshit in the application?
Also, does mod activity drop over time?

>>12606
Well, I learned more about imageboards and its users after becoming a part of the administration, which not everyone can do.
>>12607
>How often do you check the histories of users when their posts get reported?
All the time for shills, redditfags and other groups that preach their opinions(need to decide whether to delete all their posts or not). Sometimes for people who I think are pretty cancerous and must have things that would get then bigger bans in their post history.
>What do you think when someone's first post is a new thread?
Depends on the thread. When it's a thread that's posted really often and at the same time a ban worthy thread, it's for sure that it's a ban evader.
Same thing for posters that show up making a thread about a topic related to a different thread that just got deleted.
>How do you handle new mods? I doubt you go ahead, ask for ID and then meet them in person doesn't the 4um actually requite mods to ID now? so how do you handle the possibility to be given a bunch of bullshit in the application?
Well, we're heaving problems with finding new mods because almost everyone is below the previous recruitment's standard. We have no reason to ask for any IDs or any personal data, mods and even admins usually get kicked out if they openly leak their personal data, and users that during interviews leak their personal data(e-mails with their names as an example) don't get accepted.
I really doubt we have a cop as a mod, but it wouldn't be hard for the police/government to infiltrate us if they got someone to seriously study us for a one year period and then apply for our next mod selection.
From then on, while I believe that they wouldn't be able to influence the imageboard from the inside, as to change rules or overtake it, they would easily access everyone's IP and post history.
This is a huge flaw for imageboards, having the average mod access your IP, at the same time having access to IP is essential to keeping administer users. You need to know whether it's one ip hopping faggot or the actual userbase making threads about a specific subject.
>Also, does mod activity drop over time?
Definetely. People will join when they have lots of free time, and on their first few weeks or months they will just be scanning the imageboard like crazy. But just like I said earlier, neets will eventually find something to occupy themselves with. Lots of mods go on months long hiatuses, some disappear for years and then come back. In our imageboard, though we probably have around 11 daily active mods, around 3 are responsible for the majority of the bans(probably, I didn't do the math really).
>>12615
Hahahaha.
Tbh some catfags don't have gay sexual experiences, but they'll have fetishes for gay shit like NTR and cuckolding. And yes, cuckolding/NTR leads to liking traps/twinks/wanting to become feminine.
If you think about it, cuckolding is about the degradation of your status as a male.
>>12617
A list of around 9 imageboards that fit the 7k bill were already posted, and me saying that we haven't cooperated with the police in handing user data(I think we had to delete some music) rules out 8ch and 4ch(though we voluntarily handed some CP spammers).

Not sure if you're taking suggestions, but maybe show a unique token, like a salted hash of the ip, or maybe a hash of the /24 plus the host, instead of the ip proper. You don't need the actual ip to see if they're the same person as before.

Also good posts op, very insightful.

Letting normal mods only see the /24 IP range would be a great improvement for user privacy., though a hash would have to be added so they could actually ban someone directly and not the hash.
Considering that the IP page is /IP/(IP or range for when applying bans), I can't imagine how the implementation of such measure wouldn't be a total mess.
But I don't know, I'm no programmer.

We are paranoid. We wish we could go back to carefree days when we could be open about ourselves at least online. We steal images from other users or don't use images at all. When we use images we make sure not to re-use them.

It's not anything super invasive for clearnet standards.
Dynamic IPs can be tracked through the password field easily, that's where some ban evaders fail, on some browsers or if you hand pick the cookies for ban evasion you'll not get a new pass.
Use a pass like 123, sage if you want to blend in, or just use "randomly generated looking pass" like a9e%10s. Long, distinct passwords really make an user stand out.

I am alive. I had writing a long post responding to some people but my browser crashed over a month ago and I never wrote it again.
I'm not going to name any cities, but some cities just... I mean, some IP addresses tend to point to cities where the user doesn't belong to. For example, phone internet etc usually points to even different states. There are some cities that just browse imageboards a lot. They don't need to have a big population or be rich/young. I really don't know how to describe it, some just do.

Metadata etc is simple enough to clean, but that is not what I meant by "do not post files". It makes you easier to track because you just entered 2 new fields on your posts, the filename and the file. There's 2 new patterns to track, as you can be found by how you manage your filenames or the images you like to post. It's another layer that helps you identify someone if you also know they like to post cat pictures, as an example, or hold 8ch/unicode/their own pattern of filenames.
This is not related to exif/metadata etc, unless you produce OC.
>>14635
Images are not kept after deletion, messages last a little longer, but not much at all.
If you upload your shit to imageboards and other platforms, the "other platforms"'s encoding might protect you from metadata correlation, though you can still be found by your trace or style.
>mods literally know everything about my hobbies,studies,how hairy my balls are.
Imageboard monitoring is not as big as you think. There are users which are very successful at tracking other users that grab their interests, but regular users usually just flow through, specially those that aren't active 24/7(people like that exist). Moderators tend to only track offenders, sometimes recognizing some users. IF YOU MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF THREAD, OR MAKE WEEKLY THREADS, MODERATORS WILL RECOGNIZE YOU AS THEY LURK UNINTENTIONALLY, AND THEY'LL JUST MOVE ON.
I do not wish to hurt any of the people I've tracked/am tracking due to personal interest(personal interest means that I like to read their posts). I'd even like to know the personal identity of some out of curiosity, but I wouldn't do anything with it.
Someone(moderator or user) knowing that it's you(the same person) posting something doesn't mean they know who you are, your name, etc.
I have a few users I tracked for almost a year just because I enjoyed it, and while I knew their city, age, family structure, stories from their childhood and interacted with them often, I never got anything that could allow me to know who they are, and it's not like know who they are was ever an objective. They're just people I enjoy keeping up with.
You remember me of a guy I talked to recently, one out of maybe 4 people I ever called out to talk about their situation. He's super productive, has constructive posts on some boards, but some days he just wakes up to be a nigger and shitpost like hell in ways no one should. Of course, he used to get banned pretty often, and one day he went so far I called him over to talk and sort his situation(I actually called him out to a text chat) and he spazzed out with the same concerns as you.
Truly, since he is productive and lurks slow boards, from a simple look through his history I could know his general career, ethnicity, city, interests, hobbies, projects, and what kind of job he held. He had all that info alive on different slow boards, and I could know even more if I actually cared to save his post history(since some of the threads he maintains allows me to always know his IP even if he changes it).
But seriously, what am I going to do with that? There's lots of posters, he's just one more. I can't find him with just that little general info unless I'm a govt agency. We don't go around looking for people and categorizing, adding notes etc.
Moderators/admins are users before moderators/admins. They lurk and post like everyone else.
If you're still worried, I recommend you to read the entire thread.

Honestly this thread makes me think about how much I don't care about other people. Like, I don't care what they like, what they hate, their interests, hobbies, everyday life, nightmares, looks, speech patterns, behavior - ANYTHING! Forever 8-year-old, I guess.
And, on the other hand, some people are actually VERY GOOD at tracking others (as stated above), like, it's ridiculous, I personally was tracked pretty much without a failure on 3 different sites with related but separate audience (3 different imageboards TBH). And I wasn't using an avatar back then, OK?
Anyway, this made me think about how egocentric I am, well, this thread is just a reminder to be precise, but since then I made an effort to be mostly untrackable. I don't talk about myself, I don't repeat myself, I don't mention other places I go to, etc etc.

Not so easy. A place's(let's keep ourselves to imageboards) is separated by people taste's, experiences and skill/knowledge.
It's easy to find people in threads they have genuine interest about. The trackers will know to look for you in the thread, and he'll have an even easier time if he knows your experiences on the subject, skill level/knowledge, etc.
There might be 150 people posting, but how many have deep knowledge about fishing, or some kind of skin product used for dry skin, drawing and drawing tablets, or even are interested in such thing at all?
Population is cut down to 10 people(a lot), then all the tracker has to do is know the images you usually post. If he doesn't, know your experience, or guess your age from your posts, know your mannerisms.
Hiding is harder than you think. You can go stealth for plenty of threads, but you can't minimize yourself so much that you'll never be seen again.

Given how many of these I know are true and how some of them hit home, I am inclined to believe you OP. Might be just me thinking fallaciously, but whatever.
I'm intrigued and I want to share similar stories, although as an user.

I like to track Mark from 8/v/ and talk shit to him to make his life worse because he's a niggerjew who ruins the board about my favorite dead hobby. I see it as a service to the board but primarily me pursuing my own interests.
He cracked down on politics speech on /v/ because I started weaponizing politics talk to shit up his favorite threads, that's why the guy had been allowing shills to run rampant when they came crashing in during mid/late 2015 but only decided to curb it NOW when they aren't even at their peak.
I also used to samefag and spam shit threads to get the /v/ badmins to delete them after I found out that they did this in 2016, but the moderation team caught up to me and stopped doing it.

Given politics are such an effective butthurt generator that even anons will have anal convulsions from that, and talking politics is so neat because the more of a newfag the person is the more effective the talk is you can filter out newfags if you weaponize the idea effectively.
In some places, all it takes is baiting a tranny into complaining about /pol/ (most who do this are shills so they already do it unattended anyway) and if one takes a bite the thread is 100% dead. If they don't, I samefag and eat my own bait, that usually gets the ball rolling. If mods catch it at all, it's usually too late.

By watching mod logs and being banned and IP hopping, in some boards and imageboards I have worked out the moderation style of some moderators.
The most effective tool for being banned is to make a few posts with lots of contribution and mods will be more lenient.
It helps to post through a bunch of sleeper IPs so your posting history goes back a few days or weeks, hotpockets are more likely to delete my posts and ban me if I literally started posting with that IP that day, specially if I use it to samefag.

IDs help samefagging. They're the democracy of samefag prevention.
Without IDs, either nobody cares about samefags or everyone is on edge about samefags. With IDs, people either think samefagging is impossible, or they're extremely aware of samefagging because the first thing possible samefaggers think when seeing IDs is "now nobody will suspect me" which increases the volume of samefagging incredibly and people who really hate it are more vocal.

Given imageboards are in such a terrible state today I have taken activism through shilling for my own wants as a goal. I'm a NEET, I have the time to protect what I like.
I only shitpost on shit boards and imageboards. I don't make them an objectively worse place, I try to increase the volume of things their userbases hate and try to make the moderation's life more stressing. It's more effective.
When you're a small person trying to achieve a huge goal, if you make only the conclusion of your tactics a win you'll never have any progress. The proper way to do it is to make every step of the way a win so that however little you achieve you've achieved something.
Bringing bad feelings to people doing bad things and good feelings to people doing good things through controlled shitposting of my own is playing what I have dubbed the macroeconomic hedonistic darwinism game. I try to make the fittest survive by creating a playing field where the fittest are people I desire to be posting by making them feel good, whereas people I don't want posting are brought down by stirring shit up in their threads.
If I talk about seasonal garbage on any of the many terrible anime boards across imageboards that's just what they like even if I'm making the place objectively worse by doing it. But if I make seasonal garbage discussion unpalatable while not doing the same with quality discussion or even honestly engaging in quality discussion, then I am making bad discussion unpalatable to the people bringing it and good discussion more pleasurable to any that jump in. This obviously plays in the fact that all people, even people well aware of this fact, are inherently hedonistic. And then the macroeconomic comes from how I'm always doing stuff in the big picture.
I wanted to make this last one on my tactics longer but I'm bored now, fuck it.

I'm interested in your post anon elaborate more on your tactics

I don't understand this mentality of yours. 4chan discord tranny jannies do the same thing you're doing with much more efficacy and effectiveness, especially considering the sheer size of their userbase. Now THAT is a success story. On the other hand, you assume that shitting up boards with barely a dozen users mean shit in the big picture. I always assumed you only did this to bring purpose and meaning to your existence, to convince yourself of your place in life, I didn't expect that you'd actually believe you're making a difference here.
Anyway, I think it should be okay for me to brag about how much of a success this has turned out to be now. Back when I assumed control of the moderation, I was too hasty in making moves against you (asukafag) that I started to receive backlash from those still sympathetic of you. So I went for the simpler solution: listen to what the community wants, for better or worse. Leave the spam intact. This has the advantage of lessening the load on the moderation, gaining approval of the userbase, and showing the users how much of a cancer you can be when left unchecked. And it worked wonderfully. Outside of blatant samefaggotry by you there's absolutely unanimous agreement or indifference in the decision to make you a delete on sight. There may have been some false positives during the turbulence of it all, but most accept the fact that it is done for the greater good. So yeah, accelerationism works, kids.
Leaving your post up as proof and documentation of the strategies you employ, for those not in the know.

That's very nice, the only issue is that I'm not asukafag.

Asukafag has been avatarfagging with acreens from anime with less moe artstyles lately (in contrast to the other avatarfags) so I might've confused you for him, and if it is I'm sorry. But the way you worded your reply here really makes it seem like you are.

I came here when 8chan went down because I was looking around for bunkers and that random imageboard software project from /tech/ I saw a thread about once came to mind so I checked if it was still alive.

Nanochan is pretty nice, the great majority of shitposts I run into are made by dedicated shitposters with their own gay reasons, so bringing my own would only mean doing what they're doing.
I only shitpost shitty places like most legacy boards on 8chan aswell as some others, all of cuckchan, all of 420chan, all of 7chan, and whatever other imageboards I haven't done it to in long enough that they don't come to mind anymore. Making those places worse for the normalfag userbases that have occupied them is a good thing.
Have a /b/tard picture.

IDs are fucking stupid you nignog. There is nothing insightful in this thread. As usual a bunch of imageboard downers rediscovering the wheel. Samefagging is literally not a problem. If you have an anonymous system, the possibility of samefagging is a tradeoff (or even feature). If you want identifiable posts with liability (which you would only want for exchange of information, not a shitposting medium such as imageboards), go to a normal forum with identities, like Freenet FMS.
Every fucking post on every modern imageboard now is just fags complaining about "lack" of moderation. Meanwhile, in reality, half the posts are being deleted. So since noone is posting, because there are too many rules, there is nothing to do, except argue about retarded shit like moderation which shouldn't even be part of imageboards aside from removing 100post/minute spambots and removing CP or whatever is illegal in your country.

Okay I may have misread your post. I just got triggered because I thought you were saying imageboards should have IDs.

Got another question that hasn't been asked.

Do clearnet imageboards collect drafts or any single letter,word; what ever in the text box--even when the client decides to delete it, is it still logged into the system?

Nanonymous No.16371 [D]

I think we used to log something such as "date Z: IP x did post number Y" even after deletion for a few months, but that's all. I'm not the one actually "owns" the server, as in the one who logs into the actual server, but the owner hasn't admitted to ever giving away user when prompted, even to us(admins). Though we volunteered the IP of a retard who leaked his IP and had been spamming us with CP for weeks.

With javascript disabled that's not possible.

I heard Steve Rambam say some sites do this.

As >>16384 pointed out, if you disable js, its not possible. however if you dont want to disable it or are just curious, you can check yourself. Open the developer tools and chose the network tab. Start typing and see whether that action generates any new requests, and if so, check their contents. If you find that your message is there somewhere, its likely kept.

Sorry, I only now get your question.
No, we don't log that or monitor that in any way or form.
