How does 4chan deal with the schizo question now that the IP counter has been removed? I'm asking this genuinely because it seems like no one has a clear answer. A significant amount of engagement on this website comes from a small group of deranged maniacs constantly posting on cooldown every day. The moderators don't seem to have any issue with what is verifiably spam, so they let the schizos run rampant. If said schizos would just use a tripcode, they'd be indistinguishable from namefags, but they go out of their way to pretend they're multiple people when it's obviously one guy. To add on, interacting with these schizos and trying to have a dialogue with them is pointless. None of them are interested in establishing a motive for their insane behavior and just want to ruin 4chan for everybody. Lots of small generals have their own dedicated schizos, and in some cases (like /v/) it's impossible to comfortably discuss certain topics because the schizo will inevitably barge in and begin spamming nonsense.I can honestly say I'd be perfectly fine with 4chan being compromised by shills and bots if it meant the schizos would be dealt with. Someone paid to post here is just a useful idiot, and bots are always easy to spot. Schizos are a scourge and present a legitimate existential issue for the future of anonymous imageboards.
>>106473064I get called "schizo" a lot when I post. I used to use a trip and a name so people could filter me, but instead they used it to search for my threads to harass me more efficiently. It effectively was nothing but a targeting beacon for trolls, so I stopped using it.>t. Doctor Eli Selig
>"schizos"it's to enable rampant, government-funded, hiro-approved psyopsfeels like maybe only 30% of global traffic in this shithole are still sincere users, and on good day
>>106473224Define "sincere users".
engage other posters solely on their ideas and not directly as individuals.schizo posters don't matter because their opinions are retarded. they don't even have an identity, it's just a pac-man ghost saying gibberish.
IP counter doesnt help much anyway because a lot of these freaks obsessively switch IPIP counter and literal IDs didn't make a difference for /pol/, I can't imagine any of it would help the other boards
>>106473064CIA niggers that's why
>>106473258this is literally the point of an anonymous boardsad that so few anons get it these days
>>106473064Hate chan did it best. Persistent ID on every thread. You could actually have a discussion and elaborate on ideas there.
>>106473984Kinda' wish they'd do that here.
>>106473064Hiro doesn't care. Post quality doesn't matter, it's all about passive ad income.This is just a pet theory but I personally believe the obfuscation is to let shilling run more rampant and since most users here run adblock (or so I hope) then the best way to advertise is to spam threads and keep bumping them to fake engagement. You see this a lot with /v/ gacha threads that are often "disguised" as generic coom threads. They are the most inorganic shit but always hit bump limit thanks to gets tier posts and the like, but they are allowed to be constantly spammed despite the generals existing. And for the projecting retards: If you want to play these games and talk about it, go ahead whatever, I don't care. I'm only using them as an example. >>106473258Also this, but the problem is that there are a lot of impressionable lurkers who after reading a schizo talking to themselves over and over again might end up adopting their stance. So in a way it is sort of a lose-lose situation when it comes to increasing discussion quality.
>>106473965The point of an anonymous image board is whatever the bulk of the users want it to be. There is no cosmic law that says everyone has to behave according to your ideals. If you don't like soecific threads or posts, just don't visit them. I ignore the Apple shill threads, because I don't care about Apple products. It really is that easy.
>>106474088/v/ has always had porn threads and with the declined quality of games and general state of the internet and porn addiction etc it makes sense there'd be more of itthough I wouldn't be surprised if certain gacha companies do (indirectly) market on /v/
>>106474109Yes, you are correct, I just feel like it has gotten much worse. iirc some of them (forgot which exactly, saw screenshots in a thread) do marketing surveys for some meaningless in-game currency and they do mention 4chan in them.
>>1064730644chan has been dead for several years now.80% of thread (if not more) are initiated by bots or thirdies./g/ is a great example of it. It's 80% of chink advertisement & propaganda.
>>106474155If you make a thread that isn't one of these things it will be flooded by soiposters calling you "tranny".
>>106473064very important question:what do you mean by schizos?
>>106473064>now that the IP counter has been removed?It's almost as if the purpose of that was to hide the blatant Russian and Chinese botting that Hiro gets paid to ignore.
>>106474607>bc eglintrannies arent a thingif you cite one, cite them all
>>106473064>The moderators don't seem to have any issue with what is verifiably spamThat spamming is enabled by the 4Chan Pass. (lower cooldown + no captcha)The mods would shoot themselves in the foot if they prevented it.That website's bad actors are also its true clients. The normal users, who brings in no money, are the product.
>>106474705i think it depends on whos jannyingjay doesnt fucking share for instancewhen hes jannying only mac shilling is approvedkinda fukken based ngl
>>106473231me sincerely.
>>106474573you can probably answer your question yourself if you think for a second
>>106473064It's kinda funny how no one gives a shit about the site, not the mods, the owners, not the users, the internet's trash island.
>>106474962thats the problemi thought for a secondand it could go either wayeither a normie calls people skitzos bc they are into the dark side of thingsor a dark sider calls normies skitzos bc theyre legit schizopherenic>muhy freeedumb of speech but dont touch the protected classesit really could go either way
