Does anyone have statistics on how long threads used to be up (per year, per board)?
It's probably not easy. In theory you could do it with the data from archives like desuarchive, but you'd need the entire database.

 No.162120

>>162119
The easiest way to collect those stats is probably to ask archive admins nicely. It's probably easy for them (just diff every thread's OP timestamp against the last reply or deletion timestamp), but there's no way archives will let a regular user issue enough queries fast enough to do that for the whole site in a reasonable timeframe.

>I doubt the database without images is that big.
Even without images, a database of this size is still likely to add up to multiple GBs per snapshot, and admins might worry that it could contain undetected illegal material. As long as they only host the scraped version and respond to takedown notices, they're probably protected by safe harbor provisions, but there's no telling whether those still apply if they manually repost the whole thing without review.

/a/ has been slowly turning into anime /v/ for the past few years. The purist board culture didn't stop it but it did help slowing it.

 No.162198

>>162196
Frog/wojak threads are bare minimum effort to maintain /a/ but anything that is handwritten bait for the purposes of spamming they'll ignore. Maybe some Automated deletion is also involved? I was lurking in a /v/ thread around 3 years ago and I remember that a guy was dumping a ton of loli porn pics under many layers of visual filters but it was clear enough still that you could see the details. He said that for quite some time, NSFW pictures hadn't been manually deleted and instead the mods have an automated program that examines reported NSFW pics and deletes them if they're detected as such. Those filters confused the program and it seems that it worked since they were never deleted and the thread archived normally. Maybe /a/ has a similar program that also detects frog/wojak threads and posts?

Are there any imageboards that implement perceptual hashing for uploaded images? It seems like a no-brainier for moderation. Obviously there would be false positives, but there could be a form to request a fix for a given image.

Every board has turned into /v/'s shitting grounds. I honestly don't see the point in having 30 boards when they are just posting the same low quality trash. Might as well start removing boards and forcing /b/ and /bant/ only, let threads survive in the cesspool based on who gives a shit anymore.

The automod on Lambdaplusjs uses a simple perceptual hash, but it's not part of the public source code for the board and probably won't be. Nanochan had something similar that was public and also published their database, but there were very few hashes and I think there was a bug in the hash implementation.

 No.162208

Could you see the images in the thumbnails? If mods were manually scanning the thumbnails of reported images, obfuscating the thumbnails could also help someone evade moderation.

 No.162209

>>162199
Several of the large ones do/have and it will block posting the image in the future. Which only encourages people to do one pixel modifications to it to evade the filter. Then there is the issue of it being abused by moderation. Since if something is labeled CP via hash no one is really interested in proving it one way or another. Since looking at the material on purpose is as illegal as openly sharing it. It's also easily defeated as mentioned above.

A more advanced method of trying to filter it without relying on simple hashing is far too expensive.

It's mainly only done to appease law enforcement as well. The only reason it's so widely posted and abused is because it serves as an easy way to shut down websites and scare lurkers/posters away.

>>162208
It may work for awhile but once someone sees it once it's kind of useless from that point on. I've seen this method done sometimes but usually it isn't used in the way you're thinking. Since people mainly post that type of content on public websites in an attempt to do anything but sharing it.

Most people actively seeking it out and sharing it treat it like gold and demand something in trade. Which is why most of them get caught doing it through things like telegram. The only real CP spam I've seen is the same template thread posted every night advertising one or two websites that claim to host it. All of the other times I've seen it posted the intent was to be seen and disrupt. The entire point was to frustrate moderation and people using the website. You'll see big waves of it come in at the same time the website is being mass reported to the host/registrar. So a tool just to deal with it is kind of useless as the people spamming it are being actively malicious.

 No.162210

>>162209
>Which only encourages people to do one pixel modifications to it to evade the filter.
That only works against regular hash bans. The point of perceptual hashing is that similar-looking images will result in similar hashes, so detection can be made fuzzy: any image whose hash differs less than n bits from a banned image is treated as the same image.
There are other ways to evade perceptual hash bans (I've seen spammers add randomly generated grids of colored squares), but they require the attacker to be more skilled, and they're usually obvious from the thumbnail, so users tend to report them very quickly.

>>162209
>Then there is the issue of it being abused by moderation. Since if something is labeled CP via hash no one is really interested in proving it one way or another.
If the site has a public mod log of recently banned hashes and its hash implementation is open source, anyone could set up an independent hash check site where any user who has a falsely banned image can reproduce the thumbnail/hash pair and link it to appeal the ban. For extra accountability, appeals could be assigned to a random mod (excluding the mod who handed out the ban), and the system could track each mod's number/percentage of bans that get reverted and notify admins if a mod is too far out of line.

It doesn't work well enough.
Because the quantity of images you end up banning create false positives if the threshold is too wide. If the threshold is too narrow you just modify the image by putting a piece of text on the image somewhere else.

Maybe someone can get a good system to do it though... I think it would be computationally expensive though. You'd obviously be running the hash on the thumbnails but it's still going to be a lot of operations..

AI is too easy to use to modify images to just work them around not to mention already the false positive stuff.

Image gen models (which can work in reverse) have been trained on all relevant characters already. It might also be very easy to create something using APIs of commercial AI services.

My main worry about image selection captchas is that the number of possible solutions to choose from is much, much smaller than a text captcha. A program doesn't have to narrow down the possibilities so much before spamming guesses becomes effective. The captcha like this that Google made, which had the additional problem of restricting the number of correct images to a narrow range, was vulnerable to straight-up blind guessing. The main bump bot on /qa/ solved captchas this way.

I janny several altchans and the biggest CP spammers have forgotten to turn off their VPNs before. If we're talking about the "free pedo porn" spammers that target Crystal Cafe and other altchans, it's a guy in Omsk and his friend in the same city. They're basically running a scam operation, spamming CP on altchans to get retarded pedophiles to install their malware. I've reported them to international law enforcement many times, but, unfortunately, they are Russian and Russian law enforcement is utterly worthless, so they are unlikely to face justice so long as Russia remains a lawless hellhole.

Makes me wonder if Japanese Vocaloid discussion is so terrible that he has to resort to Western alternatives, though maybe it's just a gaijin's curiosity for overseas opinions.
I was never interested in the genre and only consumed the most popular works that were impossible to miss + collaborative works from producers that were also active in other communities on NND, but still, I always had the impression Vocaloid died a similar death as otoMADs around a decade ago or so, now only feeling like a ghost of its former self. Not trying to be a dick and obviously I'm not part of the com, just got this odd feeling I can't explain.

Would you mind sharing one or some of your top picks?
Gonna start saging here because we're off-topic and I'm too inexperienced with the subject matter to make a dedicated thread, but I'm interested in the conversation.

I think the reason I have that lackluster impression is because I remember the super popular ones like Miku Miku ni shite ageru, Popipo, the Ievan Polkka cover and so on as having been instant hits that got adapted almost immediately in the MAD part of NND, which was the only part I religiously kept up to date with. I assume I'm just fooled by the decline of the MAD community making it look like Vocaloid isn't as big anymore, clearly that isn't true if I look at the insane amount of views newer productions like King or God-ish still get on NND, it just feels more isolated to its own community now. I could see past producers growing up and going professional / making less references to adjacent hobbies playing a part in this too, maybe the biggest one.
God-ish and King also are the only major ones post-2010 that I can name and I don't even like them too too much, though of course they're good tracks.

 No.162651

>>162646

Nostalgiafags on 4/jp/ will disagree with you but yes Vocaloid is doing better than a decade ago. Its been growing in popularity since the very late 2010's with the release of Synthesizer V and that eventually culminated in 2020 with the release of Project Sekai (which despite being extremely divisive among old fans did boost Vocaloid's popularity a lot, especially among Gen Alpha and the younger side of Gen Z).

Some old producers like Hachi and Ryo have left years ago and do their own thing now. Others like DECO*27 and PinocchioP are still around. Quite a few newbies dominate the scene now (a personal favorite of mine is Iyowa) and Western Vocaloid is more prominent than it was years ago (Jamie Paige, whether you love them or hate them, is one of the biggest names right now). There's also a shared sentiment among old fans that post-Mesmerizer, a lot of new Vocaloid songs are made with fast BPMs and flashy music videos in order to go viral. I won't go into much detail there but you can probably read about it on 39, it's a bit of a rabbit hole.

Thank you for the info, it's nice to be able to catch up with things like this. I did hear about Synth V at the very least. I think UTAU got / is in the process of getting replaced as well? I saw there's an alternative version of it now made by somebody else, with a DAW-like interface and lots of QoL changes, though I don't know about the general consensus on it. I also noticed Vocaloid as a whole getting much more popular in the West, which is actually part of the reason it makes me uncomfortable nowadays, primarily because it seems that a not insignificant part of the Western community now consists of a certain type that I personally just can't stand. I really wish I didn't care so much, but that's an entirely different topic.

I find this implementation really annoying, besides that it doesn't seem to play nicely with default adblocking lists or Firefox tracking protection. Is it sourcing from Danbooru or similar? If so, it's even more trivial to crack than is being letting on.

I don't see what the issue is, considering I'm on Firefox with ublock origin + strict tracking protection and I've had no issues using the captcha, though if you use noscript that will break the captcha since it's built with JavaScript. Also, it sources images from safebooru and while some of them are difficult just because of the tags (the top left is rin wearing kaito's shawl so that's probably why it's tagged as such) you can just load a new captcha.

It seems to have been fixed/corrected itself from when I first took that, but initially it would just hang on "Loading character challenge" or whatever unless I turned off tracking protection.

That chart genuinely surprises me. Does Trends allow for a Worldwide view, do the results change in any meaningful way for "Miku Hatsune" and "Teto"?

Either way, I've been consuming NND-related media from 2007 to around 2014 when I gave up on it for the most part and I haven't seen even just half as much random images and discussions related to Vocaloid / UTAU during that time than I do now, outside of their communities. Miku and Teto both seem to be somewhat mainstays in the majority of 2D-related discussion anywhere nowadays, whereas I would be able to count on one hand the amount of times I saw a stray Teto pop up on 4chan or YT outside of NND reuploads or that Gaia-like Western community that you could see come up around 2010 or so. Miku was more prominent, but didn't strike me as any more popular than JoJo pre David Productions and felt more like a random booru image an Anon wanted to attach to his post.

There are graphs for worldwide, and they are largely the same. If anything, they show slightly larger decline. The graph for Miku also shows a decline, albeit slightly smaller (picrel). Though this is probably just due to people searching for Miku in a general context. If you zoom out fully, it seems to grow significantly in 2025 - however if you zoom in, you realize this is just because of a very large spike at the start of 2025.

Teto is the only exception, with her popularity spiking over the last year.

The main issue is we're running out of things you can use to test against cheap machine learning that is easy for humans but still is hard for machines. For now, I think doing challenges based on https://arcprize.org/ is good enough, since it takes around 10 cents to crack with an LLM to get a 50% pass rate if you base it on the challenges with ARC-AGI 1. But they are getting smarter and it didn't even take a year from when ARC-AGI 1 released until now for LLMs to get 80% pass rate on it even if it is expensive. And that doesn't solve people just paying on MTurk even if they actually want to hurt you even if it would be more expensive in the end. There is enough volume there someone can hurt you. You're just raising the threshold of the price needed to do that.

The puzzles provided by ARC-AGI isn't constrained to the dataset provided but yes, you would need to either hand design it or write code to generate valid variants to verify, but those aren't things that traditional captchas haven't needed to also do or design from the ground up. The main issue is that you would need to roll your own and it is much harder than an anime captcha to design. Sorry if I made it seem like it would've been easy.

The biggest issue isn't that it's too difficult to code. It's that it would not stop bots. You're assuming that what is difficult for AI would be difficult to automate. An attacker would not use AI to solve the puzzles. Instead he would figure out all the types of puzzles you had programmed, solve each one manually, which he only needs to do once for each type, and then let his spambot go to work. The more types of puzzles you introduce to make this harder, the more work you have to do. In the end, you have to do more work than the attacker. It's no better than the text riddle captchas you see on some sites, which are less work to implement.

Maybe we can implement harder CAPTCHAs or just sign our posts every time with GPG?
This post is a demonstration of that.

You can generate a GPG key with the following command

gpg --generate-key

And enter whatever you like as your personal details. This post will be signed with
a throwaway GPG key for demonstration purposes.

Now that you have your own GPG key, you can create a text file named post.txt, enter
whatever you want to post, and then run

gpg --clearsign post.txt

Which will generate a cryptographically signed post.txt.asc. This post is digitally

Isn't that an account with extra steps

 No.163204

>>163203
It's more like an extra secure tripcode that can be used for more than just posting, with more steps and obnoxious-looking metadata (see above).

The main advantage is that the public/private split of GPG keys makes it impossible for a hypothetical malicious admin to intercept your "tripcode" to impersonate you. (But if you think a site's admins might be compromised, why even post there? They could still delete your posts, shadowban you, etc.)

The downside is that it requires posters to either manually perform extra steps outside their browser for every post or trust some kind of extension to manage their private key without exposing it through infinitely complex DOM fuckery.
And more importantly, it requires everyone involved to understand the difference between public and private keys. If you've ever tried to explain that in non-technical terms, you'll know how high of a barrier that is to most people - even to the relatively technical userbase of most imageboards.

The OSA enables Ofcom to pursue that for this case eventually and ISPs there already have the architecture to do it with copyright blocks.

Been busy so didn't respond for a couple of days. But that's not how ARC-AGI or the puzzles I proposed work at all. You can not automate solving these puzzles with any sort of bot with one singular example from a human manually solving "each type", whatever that means. To solve an example like this picture, you actually need logic deduction and planning, which you can not code yourself or get an AI to do for all the variations of this.
It's meant to be a puzzle that is hard for robots of any kind, programmed or AI trained, and easy for humans. That is the entire point of captcha existing which is why I proposed it. The best scores involve merging an LLM with a program that can basically do something with the input to let it mess around and stumble upon a solution. I don't see your average spammer having the knowhow to implement cutting edge research to solve these types of captchas should they exist in the first place but the same goes for whoever needs to implement this type of system into a captcha so you can't save solutions and reuse. Again, it would still devolve into a system of using prior solutions seen + MTurk to actually get around it but that is massively more time wasting and more expensive to shit up forums than what is currently happening.

That puzzle is trivial to automate. The part that is hard for a machine, which ARC-AGI is testing the AI's ability to do, is recognizing in the first place that the goal is to fit all those shapes into a rectangle. The attacker just needs to write a subroutine that tests all possible ways of fitting the shapes into the rectangle. There's a potential for combinatorial explosion here, but a simple depth-first search with the largest shape inserted first would find the solutions in those two examples very quickly. If I were the attacker, I would have the program give up and ask for a different captcha after some large number of tries, which would likely be good enough to solve most cases. If I wanted to do better, I would not need cutting-edge research, just basic old-fashioned search algorithms.

>with one singular example from a human manually solving "each type"
Since you seem to have misunderstood my intent, let me explain this more clearly. Your proposed captcha would feature several types of puzzles, each of which you would need to write code to implement. The attacker manually finds out all the types of puzzles you have, then writes a simple program to solve each type. It's a lot of work, but it's not more work for the attacker than it is for you.

I was talking about /cm/ tho. Not only the shota general dominates the board with a more radical difference in activity with the rest of the board than kpop threads on /mu/, but many other threads are dedicated to shota characters or are full of shota art.

As for /v/, I rarely see shota threads there nowadays (maybe they simply are made when I'm not browsing the site), but think these threads often are left up because they are relatively tame compared to other "subtle" image dump threads and specially the currently radioactive loli threads.

Before the hack the reason I saw given for why they're not moving to /vt/ is because /jp/ moderation, for all their faults, managed to be saner than the control freaks on /vt/. Currently I don't see a reason why they're still staying since Holotower is allegedly the greener pastures for those that aren't just shitposting, while /vt/ is more appealing to shitposters even with power tripping jannies around.

Otherwise it's complete fucking garbage.

I've always thought they were pandemic tourists larping as 2016 election /pol/ tourists, but regardless they clearly have no intention of understanding proper imageboard etiquette.

Half of 4chan's existence is owed to a fundamental break with Something Awful over "catchphrases" or what would now be known as internet memes. SA wanted to stamp them out as "the death of humor" while obviously 4chan evolved in the entirely opposite direction.
The other half of course is porn.

Do you guys believe having thread IDs would help cut down on shitposting/samefagging on 4chan? This was discussed at one point and people kept saying they're pointless and people could just evade them the same way they evade bans (and that on boards that do have IDs they're just to cause conflict in threads). I can see why that may be an issue but I don't think that makes them entirely pointless. Plus, they added the IP counter and then got rid of it, so the fact that they got rid of it makes me think having it does provide useful information to see how many posters are just having conversations with themselves.

This thread sits in an odd place between the yukkuri atmosphere of kissu and the documentation legacy of /qa/. So talking about shitposters and spammers(which inevitably turns into their glorification or criticism) is a grey area. Since it turns into something that resembles an activist's hideout on an otherwise casual site, how much is permitted depends on how quickly it deteriorates into becoming strongly adjacent to the rest of Kissu.

So to put it simply, while statements that we try to respect more 'freedom' in this thread, there's going to be limits that are only ever going to be relative.
I think the time proximity to the other deleted conversation should be enough indication that the dial is not turned towards freedom right now

In the past when people wanted to build someone up as the final boss of the internet in this thread we had to put a word filter in place and start deleting the posts as the shameless promotion dominated the thread and was close to driving people away.

You're talking about things said on twitter and kiwifarms, neither of which is an imageboard. And you're not talking about events, you're talking about individuals.

Imageboards are just background noise for this subject. You want to talk about their actions as people behind the keyboard.

Will this thread benefit from documenting these "schizos waging a literal internet guerrilla war"? When has a thread ever benefitted from talking about schizos?
What are people supposed to post in relation to that? Discord screenshots? Twitter posts? Does this still sound like an imageboard happenings thread to you or does it sound like kiwifarms?

I'm not at all under the impression that you are on guy A's side of the KF/4chan/[the attacker] site war more than guy B or guy C. You don't like any of them. Well, disliking them all equally still doesn't make you objective.

So the gist of the events as they relate to imageboards, without referencing the people involved, is that 4chan is undergoing a successful denial of service attack. The attack is not a DDOS, but an indirect method involving CP spam. Is that correct?

 No.164256

>>164252
That guy was a special case because he quite literally ordered people to do that, and specifically ordered it done to kissu and the "/qa/sphere", or at least that's how I understand it went.

Here we are mere observers. And it ain't a guy. The man literally runs his own community and has like a dozen well known 4chan spammers confirmed to use the site. I could name names but I doubt locals would recognize anyone besides vidyabutts.

And did you forget the CP bots I mentioned before? They exist and are operating right now courtesy of him. Go check the /v/ archive if you don't believe me. We post that 4chan sucks all the time. To me this is an effort at understand why it sucks.

This is genuinely something unprecedented and at this point it's basically guaranteed we are gonna see people talking about this, chan-side, 10 years from now.

 No.164257

All these posts inspired me to look into the drama myself and all I can say is holy shit the furfag I saw on 4/qa/ back in 2019 is still at it. If it weren't for his vile nature I'd praise him for sticking it to the 4chan jannies.
Regarding the post deletions, I think talking about the spam/individual(s) is fine. He is someone that has been around for years and continues to have an effect on multiple imageboards. I have documented activity across imageboards for a while now and think its worth having the information around for those people who like internet archaeology.
I don't, however, think that posting anything from KF should be allowed. Its a particularly vile site that's largely divorced from imageboards.

>>164255
Some days ago before the little offtopic purge I wanted to schizo funpost as to how come 4chan gets so little CP spam, other imageboards get it disproportionately more, and mainstream social content sites had been getting next to zero even before AI filters - as botspam is technically a service that costs money, so the selective money trails are quite weird. I deleted before sending. Now this is an awkward coincidence.

The only reason I can think of is they didn't know about the public ban list to begin with. I can understand complaining about the removal of IP counter before the hack because you could assume there has to be at least one person that has any idea what they're doing, but there's no fucking way anyone can believe that post-hack, and axing the ban list is just further proof. The staff didn't learn anything and instead of addressing the major issue that is the lack of transparency, they doubled down because they didn't want people to see all the GR8 related deletions they did shortly after the site went back online.

 No.164349

The IP counter was a little bit of assurance that a thread wasn't complete samefagging, and as for the public ban list, well, it really wasn't that popular and it was curated (wasn't it?) by the jannies rather than being comprehensive.
Really, all of it is just changes that no one asked for that aren't beneficial in any way. Like >>164326 said rather than becoming more transparent over time/after the hack they've just doubled down and are even more isolated from the average anon.

It's a bit of an aside but 4chan's largely in the position its administrator is crying about because of well over a decade of malinvestment that he himself has presided over, for the most part.
The janitor program is a solution to community problems in the mid 2000's. It has been a square peg through a round hole as they try to tailor the solution to a problem (commercial and schizo spam, rather than community management) it was never intended to address. When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail and the over moderation (as in trying to solve a problem with more bodies being more janitors doing more manual deletions) was a clear mistake many many years ago. It both cannot scale to where they need it to be and it introduces more and more of the human element as the team balloons.
4chan's been going down this path to deal with spam since MrVacBob got a real job ever so long ago. That's when the towel got thrown in and 4chan devolved into 'throw captcha on it and hire more janitors'. There's been no real technological drive to deal with malicious actors for 15 years. And no wonder because the only actual investment 4chan sees is the salary paid to you know who. Only the bare minimum of money is thrown at its part time developer and only to keep the lights on. And ironically the last big backend investment 4chan saw was to rewrite the mod tools.

Paying the free labor's management and trying to burgeon the free labor supply is clearly not the solution however attractive that may be to the one dude being paid and how dirt cheap it is for Hiro and friends. Just look at the fruits that tree's produced.
Without a pivot to real, consistent, competent development investment 4chan will continue to be woefully out gunned by the developers who are adversarial to it.

You are wrong on just about everything else. There's been a lot of backend shit to deal with spammers. The entire IP trust system for stealth spammers / bots and the flood limit system for script spammers.

There's currently no technological solution for targeted spam, specially now with AI. The kids here saying their super duper secret character captchas work do it because they never actually experience a spambot with an active maintainer working on custom methods to evade blocks.

Well, all the taxicab metric tells us is what the distance between two points is. That's enough to define a circle (all points a given distance from the center), but if we want to do other things, we'll need to define what they mean. One of the things we'd need to define to make a diamond is a line segment. If we try to use the definition "the shortest path between two points", some points would have many line segments between them. In pic related, all four colored paths have a length of 2.

The CP laws are intentionally obtuse. They're meant to shut down free and open discussion on the internet. Either you go dancing about trying to follow the laws or you get deplatformed.

Tho' they were already playing hide and seek with embedded pizza files all year. They just stopped doing the "hide" part.
Since you can see in the /v/ archive that pizza is getting posted literally 24/7 it's not too hard to guess someone hooked up a bot recently.
