Oh shit I had thought a "certain" spammer had gotten it screwed over nice to see it back up again!

Another CP spammer self-reporting, even after I banned him like three times and figamin once in between

That sucks.
I should apply for a jannie position here since im here alot, just to be able to clean up something if i see it before it needs to be reported since that seems to be the trend to get sites in trouble.

That's great if you want to do it, but in my experience doing that sort of thing for another site some years ago, running cleanup on this shit is just a band-aid, not a real solution (which needs to involve preventing them from posting in the first place somehow).

Anecdotally my impressions from that experience have been that the ones responsible are 1) Not bots, but keyboard monkeys, so that anti-bot measures like captcha don't really help much. 2) Probably mostly originating from or running their servers in Russia and/or China i.e. places that tend not to be interested in responding to complaints filed from abroad. (I remember one outright posting after some deletions trying to argue that "child nude models" weren't illegal in Russia and so there should be nothing wrong with the deleted posts) 3) Leaning more into conspiracy territory but I'm not entirely convinced their purpose is actually just spreading CP and not some other scam or nefarious purpose, but I'll leave further speculation on that as an exercise to the admin. 4) The admin of the site in question refused to take my suggestion to implement an anti-TOR filter so I can't tell you if it would have helped or not. I still consider it a good idea, "bluh bluh muh legitimate uses" arguments notwithstanding, but nowadays I'm not sure that TOR is the IP-hider of choice anyways.

Again, this is anecdotal speculation but if it helps you come up with anything, do with it what you will.

It seems like something of this sort happened to Heyuri? It's been down for days.

 No.1097

>>1096
Heyuri always had really bad moderation, it's for the best that it's seemingly dead

 No.1098

>>1097
what do you mean by bad moderation?

 No.1099

>>1098
also i forgot to add: they're not dead, i think they're switching servers or something like that...

 No.1101

>>1098
NTA but rule 8 kept Heyuri pure (mostly) and the mods actually enforced the rules. The catch is the shady admin and constant loliposting on the main board.

>The catch is the shady admin
Kuz left the site over a year ago and kaguya doesn't seem shady

 No.1104

This place never even stood a chance or even took off to start with and I'm sure all of you zoom zooms just hang out on Discuck anyways. Really a fucking shame as this place truly had the potential to be a really nice imageboard in the times that we truly need one. Oh well, fucking just ruin another corner of the web with your idiotic cancer normiesphere.

>>1104
Things like Dicksword and Plebbit are cancerous, but it's up to us to keep better alternatives going.

I don't think anyone here particularly likes discord, but it's what people actually use. The IRC on here was dead as fuck.

 No.1123

>>1107
IMO people should be using XMPP more, has some nice clients and can be self hosted if you're so inclined. Its great for text/image posting with people and can run on a potato. I've ran one for like 4 years and its been set and forget mostly.

also unrelated, wapchan has been 404'ing for me more than its been up lately. Is figamin doing stuff? I dont see any notice or anything

 No.1126

>>1123
I think when I repaired the database it introduced some lingering issues that I need to go in and fix, because it keeps crashing due to UTC timecodes or something.

 No.1127

>>1107
discord's kinda dogshit but it's the best instant messenger out there ;;-;;

 No.1131

There's not a person I want to talk to that isn't on Discord so.
