@pony Well, obviously, by bringing the lulz.
-
@pony "Let's enforce the law by shutting down an easy to monitor hub and splitting a posibly law-breaking into splintered and disperse communities, therefore jeopardizing both law enforcement and the enjoyment of the community that hub"
-
@pony I wasn't insulting you in the first point, I was literally telling you how you have appeared with your entire argument so far, like somebody who has no idea what you're talking about.
-
@pony That assumes good faith on the part of those running the communities, though. And considering what kind of people use 4chan and would put the splinter communities up, I wouldn't trust them to either keep their users under control or keep any logs that would help law enforcement if they were needed.
-
@pony No, everyone would just go to a different website and it would be the same but it would be "5chan" instead of "4chan". Nothing would change
-
@pony Ever heard of undercover operations?
-
-
@pony I'm telling you to give up because you 1. Look unintelligent and are showing a clear lack of knowledge 2. Because the entire point is irrelevant and your opinion isn't going to change anything and 3. If you were trying to make a change you would be mailing moot and other important people instead of discussing it on RDN.

-
@pony But anonymity also provides a lot of opportunities for good that can't be gotten anywhere else. It's a double-edged sword, really. And honestly if they shut down or changed, some other place would just pop up instead.
-
@pony Well yeah, a lot of the people involved were definitely in the wrong and I won't argue against that fact, but it seems silly to blame the moderation for something that's literally impossible to control. "They need more mods" is an easy thing to say, but who would honestly want to put themselves through that mess?
-
@pony "Stop the 4chan meanies!" you are now embarrassing yourself, you should probably consider giving up
-
@pony OK, it is obvious you're never going to get it.
-
@pony They aren't trying to be popular. They have never advertised their website and all of their userbase comes from word of mouth? All of your motives seem skewed and baseless
-
@pony It still don't see how that she made a song has anything to do with crime. And regarding the "ya done goofed" girl, she can't be considered a victim. If you're stupid enough to go into a site like the old 4chan and outright /challenge/ them to get you, you have literally no right to complain afterwards.
-
@pony Man, you're an amusing one. First off, you seem to hate freedom. Second, they would just create anoher site, with tighter security, and harder for the authorities to keep track of.
-
@pony OK but 4chan is a different beast and your attempts to "fix" it would ultimately destroy the site. Much like your ideas for RDN if I recall
-
@pony I told you already that the name doesn't ring any bells.
-
@pony 4chan works like the following: There's 15 pages of threads, and threads are ordered chronologically by which thread had the latest reply. If any thread is kicked past the 15th page it is deleted automatically. Now go to a high-traffic board, look at what threads are on first page, then f5. You'll see that maybe only one or two of the threads you saw are still there. Now, in these circumstances, can you honestly say you would be able to check what's going on in every single thread all the time?
-
@pony Dude I don't even know who Rebecca Black is.
-
@pony Honestly, anything actually happening is pretty rare though. Most of the time it's just edgy kids pretending to be cool.
-
@pony They obviously become aware of it after a time has passed and word has gotten around, but there's far too many posts and threads shifting back and forth at any given time for them to catch them in the act, and it's obvious that you aren't seeing that.
-
@pony Removing anonymity would destroy 4chan's entire system and floods of users would leave
-
@pony They have global rules against raids, but honestly, do you think someone who regularly moderates a place like /b/ would lose sleep over some minor and barely illegal BS like online harassing when they have other, bigger issues to deal with?
-
@pony You're mistaking ignorance with willful enabling, though. The problem is their community is way too big to moderate effectively. Especially in places like /b/. I doubt anyone on staff there wants that kind of stuff to happen but it happens so often that they can't stop it all.
-
@pony Well they vehemently delete CP posts because the FBI are on their backs and it's pretty much inexcusable on any website anyway, that's all I know. I've never really seen them delete anything else that was specifically /illegal/
-
@pony Unsure, I've never seen them do it. If it breaks this rule then they will usually do something about it: "Do not upload, post, discuss, request, or link to, anything that violates local or United States law. This will be severely punished and strictly enforced."
