Greentexts, memes, everything 4chan.

founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
 

The most notable of which being "The 4chan moderation team reserves the right to revoke access and remove content for any reason without notice."

I noticed something fishy starting a few weeks ago. I kept getting 3 day bans, but with no reason listed and/or no link to the offending post.

So basically I was being banned because the mods wanted to ban me. This turned into a permanent ban, I presume because of the updated rules that I wasn't aware of.

You are not allowed to DISCUSS anything that violates US law. I was banned for mentioning that I was worried my neighbours are abusing their kid.

Permanently banned from 4Chan for this. I tried to appeal it but it was rejected.

Always saw 4Chan as a freedom of speech platform but looks like things are changing very quickly.

It served it's purpose getting MAGA elected. Now the funding from Putin and US political action groups is gone and they need to tighten things up to continue to get ad revenue.

fairly sure its original purpose was to share the kind of hentai that would get you banned from something awful

Yeah I’m sure that was it’s purpose when it was founded in 2003

I don't get it, who are they getting ad revenue from? Thought it was just random people using their website to sell their stuff, why would they care about how "politically correct" the website is? They can just find literally anywhere else to advertise

ITT: we don't understand how internet marketing works

thinking 4chan is important enough for any government to care about it at all

It's uncertain what exactly, but something weird is definitely going on
