I haven't been active on chans for many years but as I remember there was very active moderation. On containment boards like /b/ the mods just removed "illegal porn", while the more topical boards removed irrelevant content. There was also a mod leaderboard where you could see bans, with IPs and reasons; most of them were /b/ for CP
- dragontamer 8y agoWell, by 4chan, I really mean /b/, which was internet famous for its minimal moderation. The other boards were strictly moderated to stay on topic IIRC (/v/ was strictly about video games) EDIT: Now that I think of it, 8chan had moderators as well. But they were also quite lax about most things. (This EDIT replaces and contradicts a previous paragraph that used to be in this post). 8chan's rule was "no doxxing", you pretty much could do anything else though. Fully unmoderated discussion exists in USENET (or at least, used to exist in USENET. I haven't used that in a while). But as the major internet companies gained control of USENET, they were inevitably forced to clean up the discussion (pornography, pirating, etc. etc. couldn't be hosted on Google's servers) ----------- At the end of the day, I just want to bring forth the attention that at least one internet community (8chan) believes in little-to-no moderation. Its not a viewpoint I agree with, but its something that group definitely believes in.
- tinus_hn 8y agoUsenet has a lot of illegal content. The only ‘saving grace’ is that the groups that have most of that are unreadable because of spam.
