4chan seems to do ok. Or maybe not, depending on your perspective. There are a ton of smaller chan style boards that are awesome and don't seem to have the problems everyone is talking about here.
- kibwen 10y agoThough 4chan does have moderators.
- azinman2 10y agoSo why is there so much racism, doxing, and other horrible behavior? Or are only some of the boards moderated?
- naranana 10y agoAll boards are moderated in a completely different way. Most of the boards have a pinned post with the rules. Most moderation occurs stealthily. Also, racism and doxxing are not comparable at all.
- RUG3Y 10y agoThe double-edged sword of not moderating based on racism and other undesirable behavior is that your job as a moderator is much easier, but you have the terrible reputation that 4chan has. I am personally fine with boards that allow pretty much everything other than CP and other illegal content. I think this is how a number of chan boards operate.
- azinman2 10y agoDo they both not belong to "horrible behavior?"
- beedogs 10y ago4chan is moderated to the hilt.
- RUG3Y 10y agoIt's moderated but far more permissive than the internet at large. Also, maybe they're really good at deleting complaints about the moderators?
- tinus_hn 10y agoIt's not really comparable because their boards have a limited number of active posts and the bigger boards get so much traffic anything is gone within a few minutes. So if you complain about something and they don't respond within the hour, it's gone anyway. Still they have big problems with spam, ddos attacks and moderator turnover and that is after they delegate the bigger problems to /b to be mostly ignored.
- RUG3Y 10y agoYes 4chan is a mess, but I'm glad it's there.
- jowiar 10y agoIs this "If you can't beat em, join em" Nazi edition? Half the challenge of the other boards out there is keeping the waste of molecules that constitutes 4chan away.
