website is losing users because of poor staffing and that also leads to shitty stability and then the circle repeats

Why does nothing happening? I've been on 4chan for the past year and I haven't witnessed a single real happening. I wish I was around to experience the old 4chan. There's all this insane shit I've heard about from the old days, but I've experienced none of it.

why are weekly shounen jump threads on /a/ so schizophrenic?

Modern 4chan is a glownigger's dream. They can simultaneously exploit the anonymity baked into the site and the average newfag's total lack of self-preservation.

We had shitposters who could troll entire boards into talking about them, but that usually ended when moot personally intervened.

Isn't it more of a 2016 problem and onwards?

>>24221337
Well, is Barneyfag from 2016?

>>24221248
The hack revealed that every board has tens of thousands of open reports at any given time, so instead of wasting their life reading every report modsjust delete what personally annoys them. That schizo only gets banned when he tries to spam threads or when he brings completely off-topic drama, but most of the time he's allowed to fill entire threads with his rants.

>>24221253
No. Before the schizo appeared WSJ threads were only made in wednesdays (when nips would leak bits of the magazine like the cover, color pages and table of contents) and sundays (when the magazine and manga chapters come out).

>>24221248
It's not really realistic anymore to actually ban people and prevent them from using 4chan anymore, so one extremely dedicated schizo shitposter shitting up one thread slot on one pointless board is probably an okay concession.

it could be done on a per-user basis, so everyone with an account needs to verify age on the same machine

It's not like either party has a good stance on this issue, it's too easy to score free points for protecting the heckin kidderinos to actually think about the trends and practical effects of this.

The reality is kids are getting web-connected devices at younger and younger ages, so one of the following needs to happen:

1. Parents need to actually monitor what their kids are doing, set parental controls properly, and not just let a screen raise their kids, or

2. The devices need to just to be set up from the jump to lockdown content based on age.

And parents have widely signaled that they sure as fuck can't be assed to do 1, so the world must suffer.

they COULD be assed, on paper, and you could be the one to ass them, if you talk to any parents personally

Yeah, zero chance this doesn't pass. My red state has had age verification laws in place at the state level for almost 2 years, the republicans are not your allies here.

>>24221556
it's election year, anything as controversial as this might just be suicidal for both parties

true
>Yeah, zero chance this doesn't pass
i dunno, man

>>24221551
>remember it's in the tech companies
Specifically those focused on social networks like Facebook and Twitter because the current laws make them responsible for every failure to identify minors and restrict their access. With age verification laws at the OS level, the responsability is transferred to other companies and Zuckerberg can wash his hands and say that it's the OS' fault for reporting the wrong age.
They ade doing the same thing in other countries, btw: https://tboteproject.com/

>>24221561
>it's election year, anything as controversial as this
Is it though? I mean outside of spaces like this where people actually care about privacy.

>>24221521
At the risk of outing myself as a hypocrite since I, too, have complained about parents not supervising their kids, it has suddenly occurred to me that what we're experiencing isn't unique. Every generation, once it reaches adulthood, talks about all the shit they got away with that their parents would have killed them for doing and simultaneously bemoaning the loss of freedom, adventure, or toughness that subsequent generations are experiencing. It's a more fondly nostalgic version of the uphill both ways to school mentality. We have simply reached the point that the worryworts have gotten to worrying about children's unrestrained access to the web, just as they formerly fretted over unsupervised excursions to the local playground, creek, etc.

This may be a more disheartening realization to you, because it takes on an aura of inevitability when framed that way.

I've had similar thoughts, and I don't necessarily disagree with your take, it's just sad because it represents the true beginning of the end of the fun, wild west, endless possibilities version of the internet I grew up with and the decisive victory of the people that want to make it lame and gay highly restricted and regulated corporate space. It won't end here either, if they score an easy victory with this they will crack down even more.

>>24221576
you're retarded. This about attaching your physical ID to the things you do on the internet. Nobody involved in this gives a fuck about children. I don't have to give my DOB, postal code, and name to go to the creek just because Karen doesn't want her kid to play doctor in the woods.

>>24221584
Can't argue with you there, but such is the fate of any bleeding edge. Hell, the Wild West as we know it and mythologize it today lasted maybe a decade, so I'd say we had a pretty good run. The good news is that the pioneer spirit is irrepressible, and when one frontier closes they simply seek out a new one. Hopefully it will be one we can enjoy.

2chan has the feature of letting OPs moderate their own threads, but since in this case OP is the schizo spammer giving him mod powers would make things 100x worse.

>>24221487
Other sites have freaks like this too, it's just that 4chan makes ban evasion very easy for them and the schizos spend all their free time here, so dealing with them is a sisyphean task, no sane person is going to sit all day in a thread just so they can deal with the same mentally ill individual.
Futaba has lots of similar retards too, you have samefagging monkeys that shit up multiple threads at a time until they get humiliated by having their ID revealed, then they just leave said threads, wait a few hours and start over. You can't even make threads for certain topics/series there, because retards that are obsessed with seething about them will use scripts/bots to spam them with copypasted posts until they hit the 1k post limit. 5ch is even worse in that aspect, completely dead shithole with nothing but deranged individuals and bots.

>>24221966
Recurring shitters already try hard enough to "own" threads, especially fucking with the OP in generals/followups to draw more attention to themselves. Giving them power to actually mod threads they make would be such a horrible idea.

>>24222016
4chan should let you pay $5 to pick a post and slap a publicly-viewable ID on that post and every other post they've made in that thread. It would let you shame samefagger schizos and fund the website at the same time.
