Hello 4chan. I have spent the past 2 years conducting a study on 4chan's international board (/int/). You see it is commonely stated that /int/'s moderation is extremely biased, specifically when it comes to anything regarding Russia. I wanted to test this to see if this was actually true.I made threads on /int/ (N=50) using various proxies. (https://pastebin.com/XfwT4zXR) Each thread would be made in a pair. One would be would negative about Russia, the other would contain the near exact same wording except instead of Russia it would be about another country. I would then record if the thread was deleted and how long it would take to be deleted (in minutes). What I found was shocking. 88.5% of threads negative about Russia were deleted while only 11.5% of threads negative about other countries were deleted. The median time of deletion for Russian threads were 4 minutes with the longest time being 5 hours and 19 minutes and the shortest time being 4.5 seconds (which was so fast the archive sites weren't able to archive it in time so it had to be thrown out). The confidence scores in the graph were calculated using Wilson score with a 95% confidence interval.On a scientific level the moderation of this board is biased. If this bias continues I will try to publish this as a pilot study in JOTS
Here is an example. Two threads would be created with the exact or near exact same wording except with references from Russia changed to another country.
>>221262434>>221262444it took you two years to make 50 threads?
>>221262451Yes. I didn't want to spam threads or make it obvious. So 2 thread a month on average with time randomized
>>221262451Patience is a virtue
>>221262434I ain't reading all that broBut I'm happy for youOr sorry that happened
>>221262434>The median time of deletion for Russian threads were 4 minutes with the longest time being 5 hours and 19 minutes and the shortest time being 4.5 seconds (which was so fast the archive sites weren't able to archive it in time so it had to be thrown out).
anyone could have told you this ladi made a thread about nice russian churches that was deleted really fast, same as one about beriarussian mods are lazier to delete posts tho
>>221262467just don't post a russophobic thread on /int/ again you think you'd learn your lesson the first 50 times
>>221262444but, does this mean moderators are pro russian? if thats the case i think its ok
Didn't the mods already confirm that the jannies were biased?/int/ 4chan's equivalent to a post soviet shithole where insulting mother Russia is grounds for being put into an unmarked grave.
https://pastebin.com/AVaWSFmRHere is the pastebin for when the jannie deletes the thread
>>221262518this unironicallyit's funny and they should keep doing it
>>221262563>>221262518If they want to be openly biased then just state it as a rule on the rules list.>Rule 13 no insulting RussiaI would prefer that to the current state.
Imagine becoming a jan jan so you can sweep for Russia on a Taiwanese puppet show forum.
For those wondering, this is a presentation that Anon had to put up for a research project at TSMC
>>221262842>But how will this help us sell chips?>"Chips?"
>>221262518Now we'll never know why they love gay sex so much
>>221262900It was already answered "builds discipline". That is why the Jannie deleted the thread because it was answered but not the Japanese one because it wasn't answered yet!
>>22126243490% of those threads are made by a handful of butthurt permabanned slavs (one pole and one ukie on a romanian flag)
Based researchGOD
>>221262434Very based statistical analysis, but did you control for timezones? Would you results have been different if you only made these threads when most of Russia was asleep?
>>221262444>They seek the umami hidden deep inside a man's anusLOL
This shit is a goldmine. Thank you OP.

>>221263151>trannyjanny aint gonna like this one...He knew
Nigga spent two years proving what everyone already knew. Calling that autism would be an insult to autists.
>>221263234But that's science thoughJust because something seems obvious doesn't mean it's true, until you test it
>>221263173>2nd post is blatant BBC posting which was left up for hours and never deleted while the far less insulting thing about Russia was instantly deleted
>>221263234Having a scientific basis for things instead of "common knowledge" is always better.
>>221263238>>221263238>Just because something seems obvious doesn't mean it's trueYes it is
>>221263188>OP didn't even have to change the OP because both countries in fact did lose to AfghanistanKek
>>221262518When the mod discord list was leaked a few years back it was confirmed that at least 2 /int/ mods were a Russian and a trans turk We also know from the 'stein files that Epstein was a russian agent and had influence over 4chan.
>>221262434yes we've known for years that the jannies are russian shills, we used to post monkey putin threads to fuck with them
>>221263258This.>Drains my 4 humours
Behead all Russians
>>221263271But in the end you stopped which means the Rushit jannie won. You should have never ever ever stopped The Monkey posting.
No gangbang becuase of the gang.
>>221263273Humors are literally real
Gurupartap is a lethargic jeetgro CEO has never done anything except beg for a job from Elon on Twitter and send user data to FBI.I think it might literally kill him if he had to work for one day in a year.

>When accusing a Russian of cheating in a vidya is a bannable offense
>>221263332I used to defend my countrymen, but recently I started playing online games again and if not cheating everytime I see someone shitting in text chat with 90% chance its a Russian or from the sphere, with Cyrillic nickname. Last time I was playing RS2V I saw a hacker the first time I played this game and his nickname was Yevgeniy Prigozhin.
>>221263320Was the one about Russia allowed up?
>>221263371Obviously not>>221263365Yep. Chinese or Russian name 99% means it is a hacker. Low trust society I guess. I bet someone could do a study on steam VAC bans by what percentage are in which language.
>>221262434Impressive. Very nice.
>>221263258>I know it's true—I just can't prove it!
Many of these threads were not about politics or current news too.
>>221263458Offending Russia = politics. Sorry that's the rules bud.
>>221262434Why are puccians so fragile?
>>221263775They were told for the last 80 years they are destined to be number 1 then they have to see all their past puppet states outgrow them (including China which was the junior partner now completely dominating them). I bet Americans would feel the same if one day they had to become slaves to the great Canadian empire and were getting bullied by Mexico and South America every other day.
Suprised this thread is still up. Jannies must be sleeping late.
>>221264095Russian tranitor hasn't been active in the past few days
>>221264140Interesting because a few days ago is when I made my first thread about my study.https://boards.4chan.org/sci/thread/16969434/Are you telling me my study has actually had an effect?
>>221262434scientific truth nuke
>>221264140>>221264095>>221264202Holy fuck. So either OP got the Russian Jannie demoted or at the very least got him to go into temporary hiding because he doesn't want to get demoted.So basedSo zucking zazed
Posting in an epic thread.
/int/ has NOT improved my view of Russians!
>>221262529Yes but they kicked that mod out ages ago. It seems recently there is a russian mod again.
Tiawan poster = GOD poster
>>221262434take that to the mods on ircthey might actually do something
>>221264300He came back. He gets kicked out, re-applies under a new email then comes back. It has happened 3 times now I think.
>>221264323how do you know
>>221264202What a beautiful thread. I am watching a beating.
>>221264300you know I think it might actually be illegal under US sanctions to have a Russian janny/mod since he has access to information about US citizens
>>221264202Actual gemerald thread. Based
>>221264351Because>Russian jannie goes insane and overboard to the point Mods literally mention him>/int/ goes back to "normal">Then suddenly everyone who criticizes Russia get's banned again and everyone complains>Then it goes back to normal again and we get a new jannie team (you know because the things that get you banned/deleted completely change)>Then it starts getting bad again and OP releases his study on /sci/, the last 3 days jannie has been in hidingOf course I can't know for sure but I have been long enough to know what I can and can't get away with.
>>221264413Russians need to stop destroying /int/
>>221262434>>221264202thank you for your service o7https://vocaroo.com/1mVvCs0NrsCy(for anyone wondering, yes, that is Tim Bentinck, the voice of Victor Saltzpyre. it's not ai, a while ago someone from coopg got him to record this)
>the war is going so bad they have to patrol /int/>proven by a documented two year studyI will never again say that Taiwan is anything less than the true China
>>221264522Rusjanny existed even before the war.
>>221262434Nice. Publish it. However, to play doubles avocado, maybe the mods consider any negative thread about Russia to be highly likely hijacked by pro/anti Russia/Ukraine War posters and simply decide to delete them on sight to keep the peace. Put this in your Results and Discussion section.
>>221264565No she didn't
>>221264620>>221264612Rus Janny was first publicly banned by the mods in 2021 before the war.See >>221262529So even before the war things were bad.
>>221264565>immediate copeAnd I thought my country was a joke
>>221264565The OG Rusjanny was medpac aka aptechka with the Swiss flag. I don't know if it was true, but some say he's half-Korean half-Russian. I don't think he's around anymore. I think the new Rusjanny lives in America.
>>221264645Nah, I'm just pointing out that it's not the reason. I don't like him too.
>>221264645I mean, Xe is right. Russ Janny was sweeping for Russia long before the war sent the monkey posting into over drive.>>221264657When the 4chan jannie dox happened one of the jannies was an American soe boy Russian shill.I would post his face but don't want to get banned for le doxxing.
>>221264612Then why don't they ever delete "negative" threads to my country?
>>221264657>I don't think he's around anymore.He visits rus thread once in a while. But very rarely.
>>221264677Really joggin the noggin with this one.
can someone tag janny boss with thisI'm curious if he'll respond, but i doubt it
4chan in general has purposefully been moderated to be a hotspot for all sorts of /pol/ type fuckery, purposefully driving the website towards extremism. Mainly by rapeape. The existence of pro-russian janitoring is not an accident, it is a desired result.
>>221264710I would if I had a twitter account. Considering 90% of threads on /int/ start with a twitter screenshot I know some of you guys do though.
On this day let it be known that Taiwan has slain the forces of Russia on the battlefield of /int/. Record this into the book of history.
>>221264734my twitter account is for simping only, don't wanna post 4chan shit
>>221264701Well, I think the hypothesis that it's purely war-related is incorrect. The russian culture of "face-saving" is much older.
>>221264730Rapeape is the most milquetoast Democrat you can imagine. I don't think he has any agenda, he's just insanely incompetent.
>>221264677see>>221263320>>221263401Yep. Ukraine is fair game. Not Russia however
>>221262434
>>221262434>>221264859
OP is a butthurtbelterignore this thread
>>221262434Thank you for furthering the cause of imageboard science.
I mean, I'm glad for the solid evidence, and I'm appreciative of the time and effort you put into this, but /int/ having rustranny jannies has been an open secret forever. You literally couldn't post the slightest thing negative about Rustrannia without getting your post deleted
>>221264893The jannie has finally responded >Sure pay them no heed they are evil Ukrainians abd Polish sire
>>221262434Very interesting
>>221264859
>>221264859>>221264889Your free speech website Sire

>>221264953>>221262512We all knew this but this shows the scope in an objective way that can be shown to the head mod. Spam this at him and we might get a change.
>>221265045You are free to post anything you want, and the site moderation is free to ban you for three days (you cannot appeal the ban because of its short duration)
>>221265045
>>221265246moot is a half-Jewish tranny of course he made that rule
You're all laughing now. You won't be laughing after I tell jan jan about everything you are saying behind his back
>>221265328can you tell hiroyuki when he streams ?
BLYAAAAAAAAAT DELETE THIS NOW
This thread is very disrespectful and russophobic
This thread is very disrespectful and russorealist
>>221265328Is that Ben Shapiro?
>>221262434I heckin love science
WTF this thread has been up for 5 and a half hours.What happened to Russian jannie?
>>221265690>*whirrr* *click*
>>221265690anyone have the soyjak hack leaks ? do /int/ and /sp/ share any mods ?there's a certain thread on /sp/ that is suspiciously not deleted yet as well
>>221263234Nah its based as fuck.
>>221265750They are on kiwi farms. One jannie that got doxxed spent hours a day defending Russia on Reddit
>>221265785Forgot to mention the jannie was talking about evil Western biolabs and bio soldiers or some shit too so he is completely insane as well.
>>221265785>>221265804desu you do need to be insane to want to be a janny
>>221264413bro how desperate are they for jannies that theyll let this nigga run rampant
>>221264710hes a poltranny

>>221266463I remember how aggressive and cocky they were just some time ago, now they are silent. Their things must not going too well for them
>>221266615Funny how none of these posts were deleted and perfectly within the rules
>>221262434>Taiwanese anon performing scholarly researchI kneel
>>221266675of course, rusjanny allows russians to insult everyone with impunity, meanwhile you will get banned for writing "rusoid"
>>221266615I remember when one of russians here said he will eat his shit on stream if ukraine survives the month, he was very cocky and going „youre next at everyone „.He lied of course and then he pretended nothing happend, theyre like muslims
>>221262434Why are ruzzians so thin skinned?
>>221266739>rusjanny allows russians to insult everyone with impunityThat's wrong. I said bad things about our state or disproved some "facts" and got banned for it.

This was deleted after 5 min on Sunday Did janny get fired?
>>221267343>SundayThis is the answer. The new last janny doesn't visit often as it seems so. Some threads about Russia could last for almost a whole day sometimes, till he visits at the evening purging everything.
>>221263332Janny was extra petty here. This isn't even off topic
>>221267343>made an exhaustive report about the disproportionate deletion rate of threads about a certain country>gets deletedKek
he'd also ban you for pointing out the pidor in okinawa whenever he'd larp as a jap, or denis, or any other of the pidors hiding in the westexcept for sashka the servian tranny, I think xhe's too annoying even for the hivan janny
