We do anime streams and multiplayer games at least, but we could always think of other things if there's a larger and more varied group to draw from. New Year's is coming up which means it will be gikopoi time and that generally links up a few imageboard/textboards together in a shared little cat world.

Its rules aren't any different from all the other "do not post like you're on 4chan" imageboards out there, including kissu. You're objecting more to the word "bigotry" and assuming that it means they're your enemy which is showing your own biases. It's already baked into the rules for every other place.
There's a big difference between the shoop da woop or randomly calling people fags and derailing threads over racial/etc spiels and trying to get people angry.
>>136007 >i think theyve just been doing more outreach recently Yeah, it's good to interact with other communities. It should be expected if people are talking about the place and they want to get input or just engage with other people. If people want to talk about a person or place and then get annoyed when the subject of discussion show up, then it's just rude gossiping.

>>136014 "Randomly calling people fags" counts as "posting like you're on 4chan" and is something that very few imageboards out there explicitly forbid, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that some imageboard users wouldn't want to post on a site where politically incorrect words can get you banned for being "bigoted". It's more common to have imageboards that only forbid modern 4chan buzzwords and/or politics in general, and still don't have people randomly calling each other fags as a side effect, because the users understand that such posts are low quality without having to be told that it's mean and evil hate speech.

Personally, I think politics bans are overly broad and prevent good, funny, or relevant posts from being made, but I can accept assuming they're off-topic for a retro anime board. But banning people from insulting whatever modern political groupings the moderation has decided are to be protected is a political statement from the moderation and banning political discussion after that is saying that users cannot outwardly disagree with those politics. The greatest benefit of anonymity is that you can speak without needing to filter yourself for the sake of your reputation or relationships. You can hate faggots and still make good posts and I like being able to see people's prejudices laid bare.

I get being concerned about banned-from-4chan people bringing shitposting over, but when 4chan is auto-deleting posts for saying niggerfaggot you probably don't want to give the impression you do the same. Rules are how you present yourself to new users and people looking for a new IB to post on are likely to be sensitive to potential moderation biases against them. I don't want to get invested in a community only to get perma'd for making a racist joke or something.

I see where you're coming from now. You're afraid that banning politics means you cannot criticize when moderation drags in politics. That by banning XYZ means the moderation can use it as a cudgel to ban you for calling them out for breaking their own rules, am I correct in that statement?
I guess giving moderation the benefit of common sense and trusting they won't shit where they eat isn't an option, maybe I was setting my expectations too high and that all moderation is never above a discord or reddit level of arbitration.
Yeah I get it, seen it before where old guard gets replaced by normalfags when
thing gets popular and they go on a power trip over their little fiefdom (SCP anyone?); but, cmon, it's /a/ & /jp/ spinoffs and otaku culture. I would think admins are well aware of that sort of takeover and prefers to foster /a/ & /jp/ culture, why else would they make their imageboard in the first place if not to post there without having to worry about all the extra baggage modern internet has? Having a userbase that doesn't jump at obvious bait like a pack of rabid dogs also helps, that linked /pol/tard from earlier with his bait thread didn't get much attention and it died off. If admins run a tight ship, I just don't see how the site could slide into political tribalism if you just keep any of that shit out in the first place. Sure the rules could be clarified since some troglodyte coming to rules lawyer is an inevitability, but I'm pretty confident most everyone here understands the spirit of the rules.
All in all I think it's a non-issue and if there comes a time it becomes a bigger problem then I have faith the admin can sort it out.
>>136044 >That's just silly Context context context. Unless it's about a Hearts of Iron mod or something, posting the nazi flag (and usually paired with is a pretty obvious sign you're not there to be a genuine poster. It's an easy excuse to boot retards. Meanwhile if the topic fits it I could post it in the original religious context without worrying of catching a ban. Could it be abused? Yes, I can easily imagine a dumb mod confusing a manji for a swastika and banning me on the spot because it violates the letter of the rule, but I doubt it here.
>I don't want to get invested in a community only to get perma'd for making a racist joke or something. At what point in any conversation is an accidental racist joke serious enough for a ban a risk? It's not like you're talking face to face, you can quite literally read the room. When I think of getting perma b& for a racist joke I think posting the Total Nigger Death copypasta unprompted in a K-On! thread, and the things in /trans/. Maybe your 'power level' is too high for my puny mortal comprehension and that's why I don't understand your problem, but I heavily doubt a casual remark about comparing some character or group gypsies in an on-topic post is going to twist panties enough for a ban; if it's not a political diatribe baiting for a thread derailment I don't see how it's an issue. Hate to be the guy who says "just use common sense lol", but just use common sense lol.
In any case I think this conversation's dragged on long enough with points made for and against rules that admins can act on if they wish. I wrote too much and I'll stop now ;_;

>>136046 Basically, yeah. Mods don't need rules to ban you, but the rules do give you an indication of how mods are going to act and what kind of thing they take personal offense to. If the rules just said "no politics" I could give the benefit of the doubt and assume it means people from both sides need to leave that stuff at home, but when it reads "if you insult tr**ns then I'll permaban you, also no politics teehee" then it looks like the moderation is just being one of those Discord/Reddit admins who use force to keep out anyone who isn't aligned with their politics. I value the clash of viewpoints you get from everyone being able to insult one another so I wouldn't want to be a part of a place that does that, even if it wasn't also putting me at risk of being banned over some stupid little joke.
I'm pretty sure like 99% of people coming to altchans are 4chan veterans who are getting out for one reason or another and given that mods there are notorious for being fags the expectation of mods to use the rules to beat people they don't like into submission is going to be carried by most of your new visitors. I believe the admin has good intentions and just worded things poorly based on what he's said here, but the site itself asks you to read the rules before posting (lol) and if you combine that with a random post somewhere like here saying "oh, we're pretty strict about the no bigotry rule" then would you really stop to dig deeper into whether that's actually acted upon or move on to one of the dozens of other altchans (or worse, conclude they're all the same shit and sticking with 4chan is the best you can hope for in modern times)?
Also, what's silly is putting a picture of an anime girl doing a heil in the same category as a call to action. I know the rule isn't enforced here, but new users won't and the respectful ones who read the rules and try to fit in don't need the worry of whether the humorous context of their post is enough to make it acceptable. Essentially, highly specific rules give the impression that context doesn't matter.

Meta talk in the happenings thread is not offtopic. Imageboard rules and culture concern everyone that uses them. This conversation started because of a happening involving 4/jp/ and wapchan working on a Touhou VN, and conversation naturally drifted into related things. Years ago when 8chan was in the process of imploding this thread was dominated by its discussion, so much so that it was linked around as a place for people to learn about things. This thread isn't meant to just be a place of direct value to kissu users, but a place for people to talk about text/imageboards in general. This is why the rules here are a bit more lax.

>>136621 There has recently been a host of 4chan.*** domains registered and promoted. They're dubious at best, and seeing a "qa" one flatly posted with no information is extremely suspicious. The /qa/ name refers to us or the wojak ragecomic army the 4chan mods birthed which raids and wipes out imageboards. It's not a group that's allowed to promote itself here for what should be obvious reasons. There's also the matter that no place enjoys empty imageboards ads.
The other deleted posts feature a guy that spams and roleplays as a frogposter from the 4/qa/ days for some unknown reason, and it would be pretty silly to not delete the guy that imagines himself as a comic book villain of ours.

Was almost tempted into making a post on 4chan, but either the 15 minute timer is required every time you post on a new board or your posting authorization expires after a few days. I guess I'll find out which it is next week when I go to get banned from /a/ for the anniversary. It's certainly more effective than any ban I've ever gotten at preventing me from posting, so kudos to them on finally figuring that out I guess.

Oh, and I don't think anyone has mentioned this here, but the phrase "sekai ni" triggers the auto-delete function and makes your post vanish into the abyss for some incomprehensible reason possibly related to the Mushoku general, so you can't post screenshots of Megumin's show without editing the filename if you're using standard naming conventions.

Someone carried out a shooting in the cafeteria of Antioch High School in Nashville today, killing one victim and himself and wounding another. Shortly before the shooting, a user on X, @Endingpointer, linked to a manifesto full of memes from a certain wojak-themed imageboard. The author claims he is black and ashamed of his race, praises previous livestreaming shooters such as Tarrant, and concludes his manifesto with "REMEMBER KEEP JAKKING 'TEENS".

My off-the-cuff funposts that took less time to write than the old captcha usually got more engagement than my effortposts, and many of them did spark real, positive discussion down the line. Sounds to me like they're sabotaging one of their main sources of engagement.

On a fast site/board that will move on without you, a few seconds is a barrier. On a slower imageboard with a more tight-knit community where most replies are meaningful, it's peanuts.

Then Hiro, who doesn't understand that sites can be anything but a way to make money, came in thinking that was the product he needed to sell and has spent the last decade twisting the site around to try to create an audience for them. He tried making them Gold accounts that let you post on the super special board, he tried making them forum badges for showing off what an epic 2015 oldfag you are, he tried making them spam licenses for autists and shilling companies, and now he's trying to make them a requirement to post at all.

I really don't think we'll allow this thread to start talking about wojak sites in any serious capacity. It's quite antithetical to allow a presence that strongly wishes to hasten the demise of your own waning subculture. There is also significant drama involved which kissu really does not wish to invite here.
The good news is that those people seem to have ties to kiwifarms and also a significant presence in the 4chan happenings thread (blegh) so you could consider doing it in either of those places:

Anonymous communication =! Untraceable communication.
As long as the emitter and receiver are on an equal, immutable standing, the purpose of anonymous communication is attained; The mechanics behind such communication are inconsequential.
>>137424 is also correct, the first reason people defended it was because logging in and out was considered a hassle for no benefit. People took some time to realize pseudonymous discussion wasn't actually better.
>>137416 >It's quite antithetical to allow a presence that strongly wishes to hasten the demise of your own waning subculture. That presence is a direct consequence of kissu being mentioned on that thread you linked. It has a specific source: There's an anon that routinely gets told "go back to pissu" because he has a compulsive need to defend the IRC days every time old /qa/ gets brought up, problem is every single group from old /qa/ posts in that thread and they challenge his claims all the time. Then he turns sour and passive agressive, encouraging jak kids to troll him. It's a bit of a cycle.
I think he's the weirdo that used to go on about how every poster he didn't like was a samefag back then. Often alludes to single man targetted harassment campaigns.
Agree or disagree, he still brings attention to kissu that kissu doesn't need, and he does it every single time old /qa/ gets brought up. Doesn't let that community forget this place.

Users with static IP are not on equal standing with dynamic IP ban evaders. When getting banned has actual consequences of not being able to post on the site anymore you always censor youself and calculate risk while evaders are free to shit the site up, sometimes subtly enough not to get banned all the time and when it happens they can just resume their activities after a few minutes.
A system where you need to be verified manually and allowed to post from any IP range you want (basically, no such thing as IP bans) would be fair in that case.

Basically going back to old forums or bulletin boards, which in some of the most extreme cases had to resort to not allowing registering with free email adresses, invite only, or even account purchasing. Unfortunately that's a double edged sword more than ever.
I remember reading that the reason 4chan worked well enough in the early years was the combination of still being a niche pre-Eternal September community, and early users having a different mindset, but that probably is nostalgia googles effect.

In other news, 4chan's mods added yet another captcha (hCaptcha) for first time users. Now the process for posting is: Cloudflare captcha > hCaptcha > 900s timer > 4chan captcha 4chan's captcha was updated as well, adding 3 and 7 characters-long captchas and captchas with characters rotated 90 degrees. These changes were made after multiple spammers with residential proxies made free ban-evasion websites and promoted them on /v/, /g/ and /pol/

>I thought hcaptcha was one of the 'professional' ones they decided against using because it costs money? Yes, that's why it and Cloudflare's captcha (which also has a paid version) only appear to new IPs and after solving it you only get 4chan's slider captchas that are easier to break with solvers.

CC could possibly be considered closer to a /cgl/ spinoff in theme, but I'm not entirely sure of actual connections due to being far outside my interests. The lolcow place spun off from /cgl/ due to a mod crackdown on gossip and drama in what is now a long time ago in internet timescales, so it's possible it's a spinoff of a spinoff?
With how utterly obsessed teens are with that place I'm surprised there isn't a written history of everything that has ever happened there down to the minute.

CC crossed over /r9k/ due to trolling that somehow evolved into cross-cultural pollination. There really wasn't a migration on either direction. That IB started out as "4chan for ovular ones" without much ado and spent it's early years mostly dead as it grew out of word of mouth. It's reputation as /r9k/ for women didn't come till later but there's no denying part of the reason it grew was getting called that.
I'd argue the maidenless thread on /r9k/ is a CC colony as every regular knows of it, but I'm not really sure how it came to be.
There could be some /cgl/ crossposting due to shared ovules among posters, but definitely nothing about migrations or either board being culturally related. /cgl/ was always it's own beast.

>>137961 Your statement doesn't correlate with mine. In fact it reinforces it. Open pedophilia was a thing and by allowing it undisturbed it created a timebomb. German KC was always a fraction of KC/int/ and a community of IB dinosaurs by 2014. But it still was normal community. After unteralterbach made the place become famous for pedos it more or less swept away any poster that wasn't there to discuss MAP shit. We may act that the admin totally forgot to pay for the hosting, but the reality is he didn't want to nanny that group of undesirables. Or the dregs of /int/ for that matter, after ilylauta went social, every other host for the board just up died and 4/int/ aka blue /pol/ ate their demographics up. Why would he want to risk being known for that?
>>137962 It's doing way better than KC did, somehow. Not the only nation-specific IB that i've seen pull 5k posts a day. But they are usually kohai websites

this stuff that actually took off. Some /tv/ overlap, naturally. Nothing good will come from those communities mixing.
The main unifying theme is they're massive attention whores that desire infamy above all else, so I'm against using their names. It's been a general internet strategy to not give attention whores what they want, so I'd call them Fat Retard A and Furfag B or something.

What fascinates me is that this has been going on for a dog's age (on the internet scale) and nobody has yet figured it out. It's not like the people involved are trying to hide, yet they've somehow maintained a veil of total confusion for years.
>2chen My impression is this: 2chen was used to house eceleb and tiktok threads when they got purged. Practically dead by the time cumg got the boot (2021). As soon as the admin noticed new newcomers, he killed the site. /cumg/ simply cloned it.

>>138034 >they've somehow maintained a veil of total confusion for years No? Third-eye became a minor trend a bit after it was made, kind of working off the residual resentment for mods cracking down on blue board lewdity during the 4channel period where Hiro was trying to make ad dollars instead of pass dollars. Then mods Streisanded it by banning /cumg/, which started this war between programmers and making the whole affair a source of drama people could easily follow. People have been bringing up the 'ecker site on /v/ for years whenever spam gets brought up, mostly in a negative light because of his gay as fuck requirements to join his club.
I don't think /tiktok/ was dead, it certainly hasn't been since, but /cumg/ was the source of meaningful activity for a while until development slowed and the gay circlejerk took over.
Really, the lesson of it all should be that trying to use technological means to solve community problems just incites greater resentment. You can't fight ideas with bullets.

>>138041 >No? Let me elaborate: Nobody has really made the connection between bird eye and "/cumg/ runs a ban evasion guerrilla from an altchan", at least not if you didn't specifically look for threads linked to sturdy. It's not common knowledge unless you are intimately involved, it's not something a 4chan regular imagines happening, much less a casual posters. Their first instinct would be to think "this is a conspiracy fiction".
If you go talk about the spam on any board that isn't /g/ or specific /v/ threads, people won't believe you. I could go to my favourite threads right now and if brought up "there's a psycopath running ban evasion tools that represent a majority of the shitposts you see in this board today" i'd get called a schizo.
>for mods cracking down on blue board lewdity You mean on /v/, because /co/ and /a/ have never stopped having lewd threads. /co/ would straight up die if that was ever cracked down on, they represent like half the active posts at any given time.
> ad dollars instead of pass dollars. I'm pretty sure 4chan is solvable due to selling post data to analytics centers and neither ads nor the pass represent a 2 digit percentage of the site's income.

>>138035 Pay attention to threads featuring loli characters from Onirism, A Hat in Time, Stardew Valley, Little Witch Nobeta, Froggun, Demon Turf, Gurumin, Ashley from Wario Ware or any relatively new indie game with loli protagonists. These threads almost always are made by a group of ban evaders that use them as chatrooms where they avatarfag, roleplay and occasionally draw art of the characters. They are like rats that try to make a nest on any thread involving these lolis regardless of the original topic. They are the reason even legitimate threads about these games are deleted at random by mods.
There's another group that uses "vidya lolis" as a cover for their personal purposes. They often make threads with "realistic lolis" like Sarah from TLoU or the girl from Pragmata, and use them to talk about pedophilia, real children and CP, share 3DCG porn of these lolis and even post actual CP in .webm files and catbox links. This second group sometimes hijacks threads about unrealistic loli characters to talk about "their love for children" and lure CP posters to the stolen thread.

People should be able to talk about games with girls in them without it being inundated with slacktivist garbage from people that really should find something else to base their personality around. Those people are a blight and it's really a "this is why we can't have nice things" phenomenon. Funnily enough my last ever post on 4/qa/ was me saying they were cancer.
I guess it allows places like kissu to dig out a niche if people want to actually talk about enjoying things.

The dumb teenage girl from deviant art that absolutely loves her vaguely 10-to-16 cute emo girl anime drawings, or the /c/ or /cm/ community as a whole all routine post lolicon-like art without really consider it or themselves such. How many people love mossacannibalis' risque art of teenagers without knowing about the loliguro? I wouldn't even call mossa a lolicon even thought the fact he regularly mutilates tweens on digital paper.
All these groups mingle together, on imageboards specially. A person who waifus the shit of some waif tween from a popular series has no problem hanging out with Rustle's N°. 1 fan on an IB. Your idea that only lolicons post loli doesn't make sense to me.
I do agree that separating Rustle's N°. 1 fan from an actual CSAM consumer is moot, but even then, there's a difference between someone who has a casual sexual fantasy and an actual MAP activist trying to create a community that openly states that people should try to groom children.

The tool's mantainer very clearly favours illegal posts however, and he gets bullied quite a bit for it.
I don't know what to make of it. I've joked about day of the roping phoneposters for years, but now that these guys actually forced 4chan into such a position, something just doesn't sit well with me.

PEE, the userscript that allowed users to hide text and catbox links in images and made 4chan's staff to implement a bunch of measures (like using Cloudflare to strip metadata from all files) to stop it after a bunch of niggers began to share CP on /v/ and /g/, is working again "thanks" to Leto, the gay furfag that hosts a free proxy site for serial ban evaders. As expected, pedos from sturdychan have been using it to exchange CP on /v/ "safe" images with embedded catbox links.

>>138802 From what I understand, the method relies on an external server that creates a correlation between images and catbox links. The catbox links in question have a header that prevents them from being viewed normally. If you remove the header at the start of the file, the media is visible. I don't recommend doing this, since they are actually posting pizza.
I think catmin should take measures to stop uploads of these files with extra header data prepended.

>>138806 I'm gonna say something unpopular here, but 4chan is in no way as bad as reddit or twitter. In fact, in the current system it's probably a net positive as probably one of the only big alternatives to corporate social media. It serves as an introductory point to the rest of the web (like altchans) through its more archaic format and Anonymous nature. And its only through its history and name recognition that it can do this. If not for it, the rest of us would probably be on a track for extinction as the well of new eyes on non-mainstream sites would dry up even more than it has now.
The only way that 4chan actually becomes a negative whose death would bring about a true boon for altchans, is if you kill off reddit and twitter first. As long as those major pegs of the corporate web still exist, the internet will never get better and killing 4chan would just put more people on there instead of elsewhere.

* Linked his service to CSAM distribution facilitation via PEE
* Hosted pedo boards on 4chan.gay
* Recorded his actual, unmodified voice.

And that situation gets jumped on by people who despise lolicons and want them all run off the site.
I used it for the whole initial run and never saw anything of the sort despite there be accusations of such whenever the script was brought up. I wouldn't be surprised if someone did it somewhere, but at the very least it was less prevalent with the script than on normal 4chan, which makes since when the whole point of posting it is getting attention and generating shock. Anyone trying to build an actual sharing network is going to use TOR or an e2e encrypted service, not try to piggyback a site known to hand your info straight to the feds.

To give you an idea of the extent of this guy's obsession with infamy: He was raiding the 4hap thread for months pretending to be 3 different spammers: One posting mvb's dox, another posting links to gay, and another running a chatgpt bot based on posts from a local avatarfag.

High traffic boards have enough critical mass to continue raiding slower boards after the event ends. It would probably turn every board with enough activity to farm (You)s into a permanent /vpol/ colony.
In any case, they didn't think this all the way through, because they closed all the NSFW anime boards but they still delete NSFW threads on /a/ as normal.

They won't, since Hiro likes making pointless board splits, but with site traffic on the decline and legacy splits having long since lost their meaning it would be a good time for it. It's been 10 years since the /mlp/ situation meant anything, the /v/ splits don't keep anything off /v/, /jp/ is a second /vt/, /a/ is so slow it has threads that last weeks while relevant topics are split between it and spin-off boards, there are like five /random/ boards when there isn't even a need for one anymore after all the worthwhile topics they used to discuss got moved out into their own dead boards no one uses, etc. Undoing the mess would help fix a lot of problems, but they'll never do it because they like the status quo of everyone having their own subreddit to be king of.

How does it benefit anyone? If I am part of a small board it's because I like that board, and I don't like the big board. If I don't have that little board, I will not join the big board of generals.
What benefit does any small board have from being showed into a big board and being outnumbered and having all their threads shit all over by people who simply don't like their hobby? Not to mention the inability to have multiple threads because of lack of activity to keep threads alive. The entire board would just become one general. Dreadful.

Do you really think something like deleting /vr/ would somehow make /v/ noticeably better?
Or deleting /u/ will somehow make /a/ noticeably better?
Compare the size of /a/ and /u/, and /v/ and /vr/. You could delete both boards without it even being noticeable for the big boards. Nobody would notice it and all we'd have as options is getting completely drowned out and dying immediately or making a general to talk about the topics related to it which just makes everything worse for everyone.

It's more to say, you can salvage and fix a board steering towards the wrong path when you're in the majority. But once you've ceded that majority to a larger group of degenerates then it's hopeless to fix without major changes from up top. So fixing /v/ as a minority is hopeless.

>>141467 >if the "larger site culture" is just low effort frogposting and bait then I would happily be a tribalistic neanderthal and sit in my corner if it means I could talk to people This is the mindset that turned /a/ into the general-infested shithole it was yesterday. Utter stagnation to avoid seeing a kuso meme template that hasn't been a serious threat in years. Take one look at the site today and you'll see there are fewer frogs than there were in the early 10s, but I guess it's easier to write off the rest of the site as hostile to you specifically than to actually go see whether your preconceptions are correct.

>>141480 I can look at /v/ and reddit and aside from a few threads I post in here and there, there's next to no difference.

>>141483 >2. not actually having enough people interested in the hobby to keep a thread alive >Which fortunately i've learned to compensate with other IBs or even Reddit albeit that's a noticeably lesser experience since nobody replies in kind when you effortpost, they just grunt and upvote. Or we could just keep the small boards.

I really liked the board merger april fools from a few years back but this april fools simply felt like a poor retread of that.

It's like they haven't woken up properly yet and there's still refugee threads in limbo

>>141420 Nobody wants to talk with you. Nobody wants to interact with you. If you think people being forced to do so is a good thing then that's hilarious and part of the main reason nobody wants to do it. 4meme is just a place for people to congregate without having to make accounts, nobody wants to "interact" with some random schizophrenics that don't even know what the thread is about and are inevitably part of the cancer demanding consistent 24/7 low effort posts to feed their (You) hunger. You're just seething people are actually talking about something that they enjoy instead of whatever /v/ is seething about today.

It did end up being pretty derivative of that, but still better than most of the stuff they've done sense. It also gave a pretty good idea of what the ideal level of speed and consolidation is.

I wonder if this incarnation will survive, lol
>>141384 7chan being basically stone dead feels awful.
>>141420 on one hand, 4chan is a stagnant mess of a site
on the other hand, all the big boards are pure cancer these days
traffic is in decline because things are shit and won't get better with Hiro in charge

>>141464 Naw. You're making a part (broadness of the userbase and opinion) out to be the whole of what's being advocated for. The whole of what an anonymous bbs is isn't simply a broad (or tiny) userbase and while I don't really agree with that anon he certainly isn't just calling for more users in a vacuum.
Put more simply: Calling for more diverse users on an anonymous bbs isn't the same as calling for more diverse users on shitter. Platform and media matter.

>>141483 I agree with you, that with the way 2ch/2chan/4chan treat all bumps and posts equally, the biggest metagame that gets in the way of 'interesting threads and posts get bumped, where they get seen, and you get more interesting replies, which in turn bumps the thread so it gets seen etc etc' has never been a few angry shitposts. It's spammers. Whether its botted or one dedicated schizo camping out threads for 10 years. They're the ones that don't let posts/threads live or die on engagement. They're the noise to the signal.
When this nonsense happens not by individuals but cabals, we call it a general thread.
