the 2 tiers system between janitors and mods is completely unnecessary and serves no purpose at this point.

Literally came to be because most mods were moot's irl friends and he couldn't order them around.

Now the moderation pipeline is all kinds of fucked because jannies are literally gimped on their ability to moderate, and have to depend on mod approval to use half the tools that are "only for mods" for literally no good reason when the entire thing can be streamlined by having mods check activity logs instead of moderate directly and let jannies work their boards independently.

4chan's management practices are basically a case study for the necessity of human resources departments.

>the 2 tiers system between janitors and mods is completely unnecessary
At 4chan's scale, having multiple tiers of staff is probably unavoidable. Admins of small imageboards can just appoint trusted friends as mods, but that stops scaling once they need to hire more mods than they can get to know personally.
A 2-tier system could help with vetting and promotion if the board software had some kind of staff reputation system, mods actually cared, and the admin/head mod didn't play favorites.

For example:
Assign each mod to one or two boards based on their affinity with the board's topic and culture. Have each board's mods interview prospective jannies and hire them by blind majority vote. Track the amount of hours per week each janny is online, their ratio of interventions per hour, and the percentage of their interventions that align with the majority. (New jannies have a trial period during which their actions only take effect after 3 jannies agree.)
Once their trial period ends, give jannies with a high enough hours-to-approved-interventions ratio the power to hand out short bans, but track the ratio of bans that are successfully appealed and silently shadowban jannies whose appeal ratio is too high. (The "silently" part is important to weed out infiltrators. Keep them working without knowing if they have any power to make sure power isn't their motivation.)
Mods must post one "state of the union" sticky per year where they answer meta questions. Admins review their answers, give mods one warning if they seem out of touch with the community, and fire them if they don't improve after one year. Jannies that serve for multiple years with a good ratio are first in line when new mods need to be appointed.

Of course, the simpler solution is to split your site before it grows to the point where it needs that kind of organizational overhead, because any community with a 5+ digit number of posters is probably too internally divided to be a real community.

Posting images on Gelbooru requires first accruing enough reputation to enable it, you can't freely post it as if it were an imageboard or some other regular file hosting service, and once posted images are publicly listed for all to see, you can't hide them.

What's surprising to me is that people think they don't already have stealth accounts on the 4. Think about it, Cloudflare fingerprints your device and you are forced to post from your home IP.

 No.166489

>>166485
For that, it's too easy to evade bans without changing your fingerprint. They might record it for legal reasons (or cloudflare will record it), but they're not using it to identify ban evaders.
After all these years, known spammers like ACK still spam regularly. Imagine if ACK spammed CP instead of schizo delusions.

 No.166491

>>166490
You seem to be talking about how some anti-tr*nny memes use ack like a sound effect? ACK in my post is a specific person (Anti Crack Kun) who has nothing to do with that topic. He's been spamming schizo delusions since around 2011 and nobody can stop him. There's a "community" of counter-schizos who specifically bait him and try to summon him. A thread infested by both is usually lost.

 No.166498

>>166489
anything fingerprint and above requires asking desuwa to get involved.

you could probably stop ACK with a simple browser fingerprint ban. likely been done before too. but the next browser update rolls out, he changes mobile device, and you have to do it again.

cloudfare likely deleted most data and would never let you use it to ID users either way.

>ut the next browser update rolls out, he changes mobile device, and you have to do it again.
Exactly. That type of schizo will shy no effort to get around any such blocks. If 4chan would act competent and quick, you could probably frustrate him by completely blocking him after a first post, even if he went through trouble like buying a new mobile device just to evade his ban. But the 4chan staff is slow, incompetent, and uncaring. It's the detroit of websites.
>cloudfare likely deleted most data and would never let you use it to ID users either way.

iirc it's just the geoloc data from IPs and the cloudfare ray (which iirc2 is just the unique id for the packet).

unless the ray includes packet contents, i doubt they store anything the webmaster can't store. Real question is how often the delete the logs because they certainly won't store them forever - they service 1/3rd of the entire internet.

My friend, please. Reconsider your reasoning.

The hard facts is that ACK or any persistent single schizo is too low intensity to bother desuwa with it. Desuwa's status as an employee is unknown and it's likely he's not full time.

That's barely even a conspiracy theory. It takes someone with knowledge of 4chan's software stack and (lack of) organizational structure to come up with that hack. Anyone with that level of inside knowledge would also understand the cultural context of 4chan and its spinoffs, so they would expect the bad press to result in DDoS attacks on both the target and the perceived perpetrator.

Both, I guess? Separating a meta thread from complaints is a difficult if not impossible task for any mortal to accomplish. As long as it's centered on 4chan there's probably no harm.
While it's not permission to turn the new thread into a complaint box, it may just come with the territory. The goal is to allow this thread to have more varied talk about niche subjects again without it being crowded out while also allowing people to talk about 4chan as much as they want in a different thread.

Did you mean the registrar? Because the post above claims Cloudflare hasn't blocked Kohlchan.
In any case, this reinforces the importance of having multiple layers of defense: a blocklist with known CSAM hashes (ideally shared between admins who trust each other), a mod team that spans enough timezones to leave no gaps, and maybe a report feature that hides a post and fake-404s the image if it gets reported by more than one user with a high trust cookie within a specified time, until a mod either purges the post or dismisses the report to restore it.
If any board goes longer than 24 hours without a new post or a staff visit, maybe admins should be notified to see if the board could be reassigned, merged or deleted.

>It could be a decent replacement for a modern /int/ if not for those threads, but the even the admin himself considers it a hill worth dying on.

It's literally pedophile on pedophile violence.

You don't even know kuso about old /b/. Don't try to cite the ancient magic at me faget, i was there (3 years late) when it was written.
moot never allowed pedophilia or "toeing the line with the law". Pedophiles were banned on sight, even people who made raid threads got canned and that wasn't illegal.

Even then, let's play devils advocate: Having *literal victims from material produced by confirmed human trafficking CSAM rings on the banners* was actually illegal under german law, but Helmut was simply too retarded to check.

Well, the new retarded 14 day thread decision pretty much destroyed the "Take it Easy" aspect of 4/jp/.
If the goal was to kill necro ghostbumping, they could've implemented unbumping upon deleting but that's complex rocket science for the retard staff.
If the goal is to kill generalfaggotry, 14 days is still long enough for generals to stay while encouraging threadspam to push them off the catalog while also short enough to kill long-term quality threads. In that aspect, I'd say go full Futaba and have threads last only one day, generals would be completely eradicated.
Pretty kuso decision overall, it goes to show that the staff is completely out of touch and came on board when the tumor infestation happened. In fact, I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a /jp/ dedicated mod in years, they're largely shared with /vt/.

The problem is that 4/jp/ isn't Futaba, like I said the best threads were those that lasted weeks and where Anons contributed when they wanted (like the smughu thread). Implementing a 1 day bumplimit would probably kill generals... along with the rest of the board.
At this point I don't think I even care.
I do kinda feel bad for the anons that didn't get the memo though ^^;
Also I decided (against my better judgement) to check how they're doing, and it's a complete kuso show over there.

it's incredibly okay as a bunker for more niche stuff but they absolutely suck at running it. they're very slow at fixing the software (which lost them some users after the 4chan hack), it's on two domains that keep going down and your settings don't transfer between them unless you have userscript (which is still manual), etc.

Kissu seems to be caught up in some kind Russian blocking of servers and Cloudflare. Collateral damage, not an actual targeted attack on it. I think a lot of countries with the same mindset as Russia will start doing similar things.

Trying to work out the best solution to it, but you can message me on Steam if you're involved as I troubleshoot problems people have.
If you think you're affected there's some tools which help.
Ironically using cloudflare actually is the best solution from a web admin perspective because it has the most tooling to bypass the issue.

According to the /bant/ happenings thread, the ruskie government blocked 4chan to a degree where posting isn't possible without a VPN. It could be possible that the retards at RKN banned cloudflare in general, affecting kissu as well.
>Is forklift officially blocked now? Because before, I had to navigate between threads using a VPN, but I could post without it—the captcha loaded and posts went smoothly. Then, I think last spring, the entire site loaded smoothly without a VPN. I even added forklift to the amnesia tunneling list. Now, threads are more or less open, albeit with horrendous lag, but I can't post anything, which is obviously much worse than the first version I had a year or two ago.

A 5 way fight between /qa/ animeposters, /qa/ metaposters, 8chan pretending to be /mlp/, the pre-kissu gang and /pol/ who unironically believed /qa/ was a leftypol cabal astroturfing the mods to get them deleted

The gist of it is cool guy accidentally got /qa/ frozen because GR1 botting the reports queue was the spambot equivalent to nuking team4chan (nobody knew yet how fast the queue could get clogged after a GR1 report goes global, that's why they have hcaptcha now)

So everyone ended up in desu/qa/. At some point someone did a poll and the result was >12 posters. Then they got invited to sageru

I wandered through many boards in the past decade or so, and while I feel I have been lucky with the places I frequent not degrading in quality at a pace of 4chan, I feel like all the places I could have called my home became worse over the last few years.
For some the decline was long and ongoing, for others the drop was sharp and more recent. I wonder if anyone else noticed similar thing in the places they frequent.

 No.169564

>>169488
I could say I felt a similar thing, most places on this side on internet seem to be declining because of a lack of incentive. Artists usually move and go according to where the crowd is.
Most likely it's just seasonal depression which moves on, or it's just bored kouhais.
I don't know if there are any really good recent imageboards other than Hikari, and it's harder to find them to be honest. Activity on a lot of alternative imageboards is increasing though because the hack cemented the end of 4chan's cultural relevancy in a way.

Twitter is an interesting thing because while most people openly disparage it for its cancerous effects on the internet or humanity in general, or being specifically damaging to anonymous imageboards, it's guaranteed you will get someone to defend it no matter where you are on the internet when you insult it.

¥as of this post 4/jp/'s PPM is 2.46
¥Combined PPM of all the "most active" posts (all generals btw) is 1.98 ppm

Host for Sven decided to very suddenly stop hosting because he felt that the gamenights had become too cliquey and devolved into a circlejerk between regulars that were creating groups outside of the imageboard (even though the session that made him come to this realization supposedly had way more new players than usual). When confronted about it he did a pretty poor job at elaborating which is making people speculate about his behaviour. Also he was pretty bitter towards someone who was trying to take up the torch and host new gamenights, and coincidentally decided to come back the moment that other anon said he figured out a way to host. Honestly this all just felt like such an impulsive, unnecessary shitshow, making such a fuss about not hosting only to come back a month later.

Very much so, but the activity is trending up rather than going down or even sideways. It's a much younger crowd to start with. The impression I get is that the people using it most regularly don't really have any interest in imageboards as a format, though, and mostly arrive from places like Discord or Twitter, so it probably will stay pretty insular even it promotes things like Kissu and Wap as sister sites.

Vocaloid is still being reassessed, so I think it will mostly depend on if it has cultural longevity or if it "dies" again. The end of the first boom around 2014-2015 took a lot of the core western fandom with it, and even the healthier community hubs then mostly sputtered.

The conditions for online communities are obviously very different now from ten years ago, to the point that I doubt Vocaloid would ever fall off as dramatically again, but 39chan has a good shot of maintaining the niche if they keep finding interest from the creator/producer class (board projects like their Leekaloids, interviews with notables). I have a difficult time imagining it experiencing hockey stick growth, or even growing all that much larger than it already is, when most of the fans are oriented to platforms like Discord and TikTok. There's a meta thread going there currently about whether they should maintain generals or not and I'd say most of the support is coming down on the side of rapid fire chat style generals.

All that said I think it already is a decent harbor for actual discussion about the music and such, rather than whatever is earning the two minutes of hate in Vocaloid fandom at large.

Not to go off-topic but I think Vocaverse, UTAforum and the subreddit already serve that purpose. 39chan despite having its few active producers and creators is probably too niche for that crowd, especially considering imageboards have this weird stigma in the west so the average western producer/fan will probably see it as a 4chan offshoot and avoid it like the plague.

Ironic.
4/jp/sies bring over the same problems that destroyed the board in the first place.

39min should crackdown hard against the generals
The generals were never an organic phenomenon but always an aberration created by the 4chan mods
It makes no sense to have generals when you have an entire site with multiple boards and lots of pages
Moreover Vocaloid is /jp/, but /jp/ is not vocaloid, there is 0 reason to accommodate this

After the moot epstein debacle as the finishing touch 4chan is definitively persona non grata.
The anti-4chan poster is right, anyone who doesn't have a foot out the door is totally delusional or part of the problem.
It's clownish that some of the remaining userbase make a big stink about other websites being worse while they stand back and watch the admins maliciously demolish even the rubble. At this point warosu, an archive, is more /jp/ than 4/jp/. In fact that's the only reason 4/jp/ stays relevant because it allows it to defer to the past. If warosu disappeared tomorrow there would be nothing, nothing. The archive is the only proof that there is, was, and will be a /jp/. It IS 4/jp/, not the 4chan board.

I think the April hack in general brought a lot of people from 4chan over to other altchans and with them came general threads. 8moe/jp/ had the same issue, Wapchan had to create an entire board for generals and for a while the /f1/ general on /sp/ was the most active thread on the site, Hikari i think had this issue but to a lesser extent, there's a vocaloid general but it never really took off.

Even on boards where generals are banned people will just make new threads about a series and then it's basically a general. The only alternative is cyclical threads which do basically the same thing but are harder to archive

I've been thinking about that. Imagine a threadless imageboard that still has subject lines, allows replies to change the subject, and lets readers group reply chains by subject on-the-fly. (Bus Stop's subjects work roughly like that, but hardly anyone seems to use them that way.)
Posts could expire either after a set number of hours (as on Bus Stop) or if their subject gets no replies after a set number of hours (which could be lower than 24.)
Each board could still have a traditional index and catalog that group reply chains starting from each subject's oldest surviving post, with a checkbox to also include replies that change the subject (off by default; such replies should probably be displayed indented with a button to open their chain in a new tab).
Could that fix the cliquey vibe that generals often develop once posters adapt to that workflow? Would they adapt to it?

There is also the question of tone, intent, and topic. I suspect a lot of newer posters feel they are being polite by lurking or posting in the "relevant" thread but kissu isn't self-serious and you can actually post whatever you want within reason and it doesn't need to be about Touhou or feature a Touhou character. Kissu can cover all your posting needs.

I wonder if generals exist because regular threads these days are just pure rage-bait. I usually don't see people shitting on each other in generals or post something that's trying to give them attention.

8chan.moe fucking sucks as a hobby refuge in my opinion. Not only its management is still invested in political kuso like gamergate, they just keep on getting in trouble with hosting thanks to their free speech policy and some people just don't want to visit sites with questionable kuso out of principle even if it's not on their board. I have no idea why would anyone try to form a community there, I guess because the only alternative that enables board creation is endchan which is similar kind of bad.

I can't speak for the other generals but the Vocaloid one was actually unbearable a year ago and contributed even more to the /jp/ migration to /leek/. It was almost non-stop dramafagging, twitter screenshots and an ESL ban-evading and spamming CSEM. Things are chill now it seems, but the thread has lower activity than before.

The /zoo/ people are pretty bad too. The dev built a bunch of weird ass edge cases into the sites codebase JUST so it can keep existing and he gets kuso from them constantly.

 No.171234

>>171233
Yeah, isn't that kuso pretty much illegal in some states.
Those kinds of people are never happy when someone goes lenghts just to keep their content on the site. I assume this stems from low IQ and complete lack of awareness that what they're posting not only gets you instantly terminated on majority of hosting providers, it also puts you as a user at risk. They're the kind of people that would just keep on sharing that kuso on discord if their board got banned, in their minds as long as there are no immediate consequences there is no risk involved.

shii didn't know kuso.

rumia later found out that world2ch started out as an idea thread in japan that RIR7 made reality. His interest in world2ch was directly proportional to the 2ch thread's development. The site died because the thread stopped getting replies and RIR7 just stopped giving a kuso.

kissu already had some active threads (besides kissu/hap/) that had their own niches. ie the translation thread. In short, isolated communities in their threads + the obligatory admin clique. But beyond that yeah the site was pretty slow.

Post-hack a lot of modern /a/jp/ peeps discovered this place and decided they liked it. There's now a slightly stronger "front page" vibe.

Anyone who complains about the new captcha is either a proxynigger astroturfing or addicted to /v/-tier speeds.

I'll not sugarcoat it. acid and mark (and the whole infinity alt chan scene) are abject retards.

There's no way around it. Every IB admin that came from infinity is either genuinely schizophrenic ranting about conspiracies and persecution delusions or a complete freedomtard playing second fiddle to pedophiles and criminals because he hallucinates people do what they do because they share his beliefs and not because he offers free kuso and they'll take his arm for it.
Both types are techlets who shouldn't be running a site. That's the unifying pattern in all infinity spin offs.
The moe duo are firmly in the freedomtard side and getting assfucked weekly for it. There's no reasoning with them. they also have 0 clue what they are doing at dev level, it's a miracle the site hasn't imploded yet.
They are nice dudes (as long as you don't say something that gets them going on politics) and genuinely care for the site, but being this uncompromising will just end up getting the site killed.

>I guess because the only alternative that enables board creation is endchan which is similar kind of bad.
Any of the dozen spinoffs that only lasted a couple months.
Vichan script did not deserve to be associated with infinity's retarded children.

Catalogue really is to blame, but generals also help to filter out (in theory) unhelpful or surface level, beginner discussion. It streamlines so you can have niche discussion at a higher level but as a consequence it can stifle creativity or spontaneity and kills board identity. The solution could have been more boards but people are stuck in /gen/ mindset.

75% of /jp/ poster don't give a damn about /jp/'s past or what /jp/ "should be". And this is me acknowledging the overly large culture purist element unique to /jp/, otherwise it would be 95%.

It was all already dying in 2015 and that was 10 years ago, because /jp/ then was almost 8 years old community and due to recycling it's posterbase.

It's really irking me that I can't bring up /jp/ anywhere without people going off on this literal conspiracy where mods apparently complotted to "kill" /jp/. It always involves mentioning kuso that happened a decade ago and somehow manages to relate it to current day events.
Hobbyfags replaced board culturefags because hobbies have longer staying power than memes from anonymous cliques, then vtumors became the most popular "otaku" thing, so as hobbyists they ended up taking over while Kami and/or whoever else who won't get immediately shut down begged Ape to make /vt/. That's the gist of it.
Nobody posting regularly in /jp/ today knows or cares who siztra, aoc, meltingwax etc. were, or any of the old memes. They come here to enjoy the allowed hobbies that 4chan staff vaguely interprets as "otaku culture" and ignore everything else. Generals developed naturally from this process, specially on slow boards where there's an almost always a 1 thread = 1 topic rule.

/jp/ didn't die. it recycled it's userbase, as a memory-less site like 4chan is designed to do.

Regular threads simply get ignored and then spammed or made fun of if bumped.
Good luck if you try to make a thread about your hobby on /jp/ because the same people crying about generals will hate you for it.

i've seen this happen for real in /tg/. they have a near 0 tolerance margin for any thread that isn't a general. it's crazy how hard the community splintered.

But well, CYOAs had more or less made the board unusable for years. There wasn't much of /tg/ culture left by the time generals came to dominate.
To make this worse /tg/ has this natural incapability with generals that causes "whales", aka painters and army collectors to dominate threads and turn into personalities. When it's not that, its the grognard lords just shitting up discussion with snide remarks.

It's what it is.
What doesn't help is that it with how slow non-generals are, it only takes one pissy freak to think that a thread doesn't "belong" for it to get singlehandedly trashed by them thanks to the lack of moderation.
If you wanna have a peaceful & clean thread it really is not even worth trying on /jp/.

Yeah, I don't think there's any conspiracy either, it's just incompetence and being powerless against evaders. By the time hololive was a thing people like tokiko and trev and other notorious trip users/shitposters were gone.

Not quite, it's more like every general has its own culture and the board culture is gone.

They're not, it takes a big collective effort but they can be shut down.
You could also just have sanctioned generals that are open once a week or something, the problem with generals is that they're up 24/7.

A lot of the crowd there came from a forum that shut down in 2024 while the other half came from the /jp/ general itself during April. I guess a small minority also came from Twitter when the official account promoted the MMO server. But overall their attitude towards newfags has always been 'you're welcome here as long as you don't bring Twitter drama here', which is exactly what happened to the /jp/ general around that time.
