I think about to get banned for a shitpost I just posted on another board.Ever get banned anons? What for?
Spamming and "fake reports" back then when moderation was a lot less competent. Things have improved quite a bit now so I'm grateful, even if there's a lot more to do.
>>84313838tv tranny jannies are very sensitive, i got banned for jokes, racism, trolling and replying to no-no threads many times
>>84313838Used to all the time for being off topic. Now I just post here since there's no topic.
some thing about rabbits
>>84313838i got permabanned for pretending to post csam back in august
>>84313913how does one "pretend" to post csam?
>>84313922it was jav gangbang so not csam
>>84313924anyone with a brain knows that jav girls arent children, though...doesnt make a lot of sense.
>>84313838In my teens I would often get 3 day bans because I didn't care about the rules and just came here to antagonize people. I would get banned for things like trolling outside of /b/, off topic posts, nsfw pictures on blue boards, or announcing a report/sage.Now I've mellowed out a lot and it's been years since my last ban.
>>84313838I got banned for telling a racist that a nigger fucked his mom
>>84313973>In my teensYou deserve a lifetime ban
>>84313948>thinking the ban is from the video with that weird ass caption
i got a warning over a post that barely breaks the rules. so gay whichever faggot reported me and the janny that agreed to warning me.
>>84313989If you banned everyone who used to post here before turning 18 then you'd ban like 90% of all 4chan users.
>>84313838I've been banned over 100 times from /mu/ for saying the n-word.
The majority of mine are posting selfies on r9k and some for posting wanting a trans gf
>>84313995that was the ban you can see the delete indicator i didnt get anything else deleted that day
>>84313995if it was actually scam i would actually be in jail right now
>>84314162it wasnt funny tho and i regret posting it
>>84314021>you'd ban like 90% of all 4chan users.Good
>>84313838>he gets banned
Got banned for ban evasion years ago when I made fun of a mod's (fission) waifu.
My last ban didn't even have a reason it just said "pedo"
>>84315421That's a common reason jannies delete and block something they don't like. Most mods don't really look over the post and ban it anyway. Thank god repeals exist when you can link the post in the archive and show that you did no such thing. I seriously hope jannies like that get permabanned as that's a major accusation that has a lot of consequences against an innocent person if turned into law enforcement.
>>84314190we need to go back in time and ban all of raspberry heaven from making 4chan. especially moot
>>84315421>>84315463that's hilarious, they're doing personal bans again? i thought they phased that out forever ago.
>>84315477Yes lmao although they never stopped
>>84315477You always have rogue jannies with personal agendas and let it go immediately to their heads. It's unavoidable.
Almost all of my bans have been for 'cism and mostly in threads where other people have said the nigger word
>>84315484LOL. lowtax moment>>84315487do jannies even ban? i don't remember when janitors were implemented or what it is they actually do. when i was here the most it was just dear leader and his mod frenemies who were all vying for power and trying to undermine each other to take control of the site as the REAL POWER BEHIND 4CHAN!!!!!!>not that that's why janitors were implemented or anything
>>84313838>Ever get banned anons? What for?years ago there were some really awfully vindictive jannies on /v/ that would follow me around and give me global 3days for literally nothing, i know they'd do it manually because there would almost never be an offending post linked with the ban, hasn't happened in years but i also visit /v/ much less desu, still stuck on that static ip too
>>84315518Jannies can only flag posts or give you a temporary posting block before they notify someone one the offical discord They don't use the #irc anymore cause its public Although the stongest authority on this site is anonymous ## developer and they have a deep blue flavor text compared to mods purple
>>84315553>official discordthat seems less secure than the cycling password thing they were doing on #janiteam before, but that was dear leader's paranoia and before the nda enforcement. >Although the stongest authority on this site is anonymous ## developer and they have a deep blue flavor text compared to mods purpleneat, i thought modposting was also phased out forever ago? i know they basically operate under forced anon but seems like they weren't supposed to be ## anything. there's red for admin, purple for mod, blue for dev i guess, wasn't there a pink for manager or something? maybe not manager but something that was literally never used except maybe once on /j/. i still think whining about bans is bitchmade because mods aren't - or weren't - technically supposed to operate under parameters either and had as much freedom as users did with the exception of "blatantly illegal shit", "getting the site into legal trouble", and "making all the userbase turn on you". der fuhrer was pretty open about that including in his talk circuits. of course this clearly presents its own problems as the rules wouldn't have changed without a reason to. no more era of begging for snacks-tan's sweet sweet b&hammer and bragging about your number of bans, huh?
>>84313838>Ever get banned anons?Yes, many, many, many times.>What for?Usually for triggering some faggot who has pull with the mods (or a mod posting anonymously) causing them to reach for rules that are usually just ignored but that everyone breaks, such as "racism outside of /b/" - indeed, while other posts that violate the same rule remain up in the thread.Saying anything negative about israel on /k/ is probably one of the fastest ways to get a ban, although posting a selfie or picture of your own hand or similar on /r9k/ is even faster.
>>84315579>7000hrs in paint laterThey occasionally post on slow boards even yuki does occasionally To quote americans back the blue kek
>>84315630>slow boardslike /3/ and /po/? lol. the state of some of the boards is pretty sad even if they're more active. they're literally nothing but generals. you know what's extremely well organized though? every single porn board. the anons are all civil, type at length, and follow their own self-imposed rules. some are even friendly. can't imagine copping a ban on a porn board unless you really deserved it.>staying true to our roots, i see.seriously, /h/ alone is amazing. i don't even use porn at this point. it's just interesting to see how the different boards behave when compared to each other.
>>84315644Generals are cancer im glad /a/ attempted to nuke them and uh /v/ practiced mitosis instead so expect /vr9kpol/ soonBut i agree with you on prawn boards sans /gif/ because that had and always will be a dumpster fire even /trash/ is more organized which is hilarous.Iunno i think after a solid 18 years on this site the users of x board begets the moderation it gets and slow speed lewd boards you probably cant even spam or shitpost on because its a locked down community
>>84315675yeah what the fuck happened with /v/? why are there a million spinoffs? i left before bronies even existed and come back and /mlp/ exists, fine, ask what the fuck they let happen to /r9k/, /v/ descends into fighting over feminism for some stupid fucking reason, and now there are 20 million video game boards? why are there even multiple general boards? incredible that mr. mandate of heaven could not figure out that every single time he made a new board every other board immediately got ten times worse. if it didn't work for /r9k/ the first time, just do it 12 more times to every other main board. i'm sure eventually this will work!
>>84315579who the fuck cares this much about 4chan?
>>84315688Im fairly certain /v/ split into multiple boards before simply pulling out the b& hammer and saying no fucking generals (/a/ specifically) i just assume it was born out of laziness trying to seperate post goobergate kulture war from actual video games sans new releasesAnd separating pokemon porn dumbs and roms from vee proper I can understand the logic splitting v into /vg/ but everything else is a confusing wash Retro makes no sense because the average poster or buyfag MUST have a ancient game or console which is enough for a thread but i guess segregation was on the menu
>>84315518No. Jannies can only block. It then goes to the mod to decide whether it's a ban. Most have so many to go through they don't even bother and just accept it.>>84315675>Generals are cancerNot all of them. The point of them is to contain a certain topic instead of the same exact thread being posted all at the same time flooding the board and bumping threads off the catalogue. I'll take /a/ as an example: when Dragon Ball Super was being aired, it was much better that it had a general to contain it there was always 10 or so threads about the episode that just aired. How many threads did we need of Goku going Ultra Instinct?On slow boards, yeah, there isn't much of a point. There is one general on /diy/ I do post in, but even then, it doesn't need to be a general since that board is so slow and some of the questions that get posted can be their own separate threads.
>>84315700Anon you act like you just walked into a retirement home and started yelling at old people talking about the good ole days
>>84315700take a wild guess.>>84315718that makes sense, though isn't /v/ a blue board? would think that would get porn dumps kicked off pretty quickly, though i suppose they wouldn't have a dedicated board if they're about the actual poke-eh-mons pubis rather than fucking trainers. of course once you split a board you can't really fuse them back together. it's like nuclear fission. i would think retro would mostly be emulation rather than actual old consoles just by volume and accessibility? making dedicated boards for rpg and strat specifically is baffling.
>>84315732>There is one general on /diy/ I do post in, but even then, it doesn't need to be a general since that board is so slow and some of the questions that get posted can be their own separate threads.do you like /diy/? that seems like it would have been one of the main casualities of subreddits. i'm glad it isn't. 4chan has always been more fun for that sort of content. it is a bit odd to go on hobby or topic boards and see multiple permastickies in a row with resources to external wikis though. i wonder how much traffic they lose just by doing that. old 4chan was a preponderance of constant infographic and resource sharing threads because it was always cycling to new users.
>>84315749I only post in that one gen. It's okay, actually. My own qualm with it is that there is a grumpy old autistic fuck that has a stick up his ass. He's easy to troll because of it. Granted though, he's probably the most knowledgeable of that hobby in that entire general. The gen I post in does have those links to external wikis. It's mostly to redirect the most basic and common beginner questions, which many ignore anyway. Hence, every regular just ignores those questions. It's just better to do that. If it wasn't done, about 80% of the thread would be those very common questions and us answering them.
>>84315803>My own qualm with it is that there is a grumpy old autistic fuck that has a stick up his ass. He's easy to troll because of it. Granted though, he's probably the most knowledgeable of that hobby in that entire general.heh, sounds just like hobby groups in real life. gotta respect the old timers, but it's fun to annoy them by finding the most absurdly incorrect way to do something and see them rage. it's all in good fun.good to know 4chang hasn't lost its old spirit of cranky autism about niche subjects. it's an endearing quality you can't find anywhere else if only because of the anonymous nature versus the performance and accumulative reputation of every other site, even (or especially) pseudonymous ones. you know by posting here that you and that octogenarian are truly in it for the love of the game, not to make a name for yourselves.
>>84315819It'd be easier just to say what the general is: it's the /ham/ general. Historically, it was an all autist hobby and probably more so than any other hobby like anime or table top RPGs. You had to know your stuff in order to get into it and be obsessed with it. Back then, you either had to have a shit ton of money (e.g. thousands, even back in the 50's) to get into it, or build the equipment yourself. If you look at the testing to get the license, a lot of the content relates back to this, despite it mostly being irrelevant now-a-days. That old guy is from that age where he had to build all of his own equipment and still does from kits, so he knows what he is talking about. It's why if he says something, I say:>shut the fuck up and listen to him
>>84315886I guarantee if i turn on my baofeng and hop on the local repeater, the minute i speak i will be spamed with "callsign callsign" x24Hamtists have 1 foot in the grave and still will demand you have the proper license Meanwhile 27~ on avg are on said repeater paid for by my tax dollarydoos but its a sekrit club
>>84315904Oh so you do know what I am talking about! Sometimes the autism is funny. One of the local guys here are onto everyone about their mic gain, and if it's not perfect, he's having an autistic fit on the repeater. One of the people who commonly does the net is doing an excellent job and he's coming in full clear, yet that old fuck will come on and say to turn up/down his mic gain.Yes about the Baofengs. Holy shit does that cause a lot of meltdowns. The major one being the roger beep. When I was listening on the regular, almost all the old fucks would get on there stepping over one another just to tell the guy off. Some of it is funny, but many is just plain sad. It's really why I don't get into it anymore. If I do, it's more making another antenna just to have a project, then testing it out on some digital modes. I still participate in Field Day and another contest, but that's pretty much it.
>>84313838I got banned for two weeks for posting a link to the k1w1f4rms
>>84315886>>84315904>>84315932>look at this wonderful moment. this is what 4channel.com was made for.actually i've been wanting to get into ham radio for a long time. my great great uncle used to be into it back in the 50s/60s, but when he died the female relatives in charge of his remains threw out all of his equipment (and his stack of old natgeos from the 70s! bitches. i wanted those...). you already stated you get beginner questions all the time so i won't bother you with technicalities, but would either of you say that it would be "worth it" to get into it now from a place of absolutely nothing, or are the interactions so few and far between that the monetary and time investment just isn't worth it?
>>84315985> it would be "worth it" to get into it now from a place of absolutely nothingI personally think if would be especially if you can find another anon irl into itThe only reason i got a feng in the first place is cause a bud i met from /k/ got me into in it and i thought it was the coolest thing ever he was able to speak to his dad from his truck while we are 50 clicks up the side of a mountain on a mining trail just shooting the shit with his father off the ham rig he set up in his truck Plus when we went camping in the general area we had a 7km range for everyone it was coolI never gor my proper loicense cause the courses are so few and far between but if you can find enough people who are into it id recommend
>>84316010yeah unfortunately i don't think that's likely to happen. it's difficult enough to find anyone irl who isn't content to exclusively sit inside and scroll tiktok or shitpost on discord endlessly. like pulling teeth to get anyone off their fucking phones or outdoors. i can't imagine the difficulty of getting them into something like ham radio or actual exercise. shame too, my old /k/ buddies were deeply into that and going innawoods to shoot off or camp but we haven't spoken in about 8 years or more now. i miss them. always wanted to go camping or do more survival shit. /k/ used to be really into prepping. remember when it was the conservative paranoid survivalist hub, not /pol?
>>84315985I don't mind answering since this isn't the /ham/ general. My question more is why are you wanting to get into it? There is a million reasons people get into it. The most common now are larpers who are using it as a form of emergency communication. They'll cite the hurricanes here in the US in 2024 which ham radio did save a lot of people who were stuck in rural areas. It's okay for that reason, as if there is a disaster, many hams will be monitoring the local repeater and cell service can be knocked out. I was running my JS8call station during that time, and my station was used a few times as a relay station and a few messages were stored on it. If you are just getting on it just to talk, the conversations here on the repeater are not really much. Even when I was really into it, the HF bands, mostly on the 80m, are just a bunch of old fucks talking about either the weather, problems going on with their families, or their tmi medical issues (a common joke is that prostate issues are one of the biggest topics on 80m.) 40m there is some trolling going on 7.2mhz. If you are trying to keep up with family when there are no other forms of communication, it's good for that.If you are wanting to do project: holy shit is there a shit ton. It's sometimes called the hobby of hobbies for a reason. >>84316010Around here they are still onto people getting the license. One of the regulars does foxhunting often, and it's a lot easier now with Kraken SDR. Afa courses, what about 90% of people do anymore is just memorize the questions and answers, then test online. After that, just look up the info online and experiment. I did all my tickets with Aurora Amateur Radio Group. >>84316019>preppingI laugh at this. People don't prepare for emergencies anymore. I still remember Superstorm Sandy and how my emergency preps came in handy. I don't really even consider myself an actual prepper like those homestead types. I just like having back-ups.
>>84316049>My question more is why are you wanting to get into it?my first hobby board was /x/ for horror content and specifically for creating and breaking cryptography. i liked solving args, but back when they were more like treasure hunts, puzzles, or geocaching. this was before cicada. i used to make my own encoded languages with ciphers in elementary school whenever i wanted to write something down in a journal, but ended up mostly drawing labyrinthine mazes and writing logic puzzles instead. whenever we had to do creative writing and read it to the class i would write stories that functioned as riddles instead where you had to find the logical error that was intentionally hidden during the storytelling. before i had a cellphone i used to carry around walkie talkies and portable messengers to talk to friends, but they only worked from a limited distance. i always loved exploring forests and going cave spelunking, so looking up horror stories while in those areas seemed a logical solution. i never got a chance to camp but would have liked to, and was already using /fit/ and /k/ to teach myself anatomy, self-defense in close combat and with knives and small weapons, was intending to learn proper gun safety and did at one point get some sort of certificate from a class at a range where i kept burning my arm with the hot shells, was doing strength/resistance/flexibility/agility/speed training, and was trying to build up immunity to various substances and poisons while doing constant psychological teardowns on myself to test for resilience and see how much of a blank state i could get before bouncing back. i kept getting called a psychopath for this like it wasn't totally normal to intentionally desensitize yourself to human atrocities for no apparent reason (intended to glow, never happened). social engineering had proven easy so it was onto physical engineering. survivalism and ham radio seemed like logical steps. found out i get corrupted by power easily tho.
I got banned when I was 17 because I made a thread saying that I was underage so I would stop browsing 4chan. Unfortunately that just turned me into a lurker, and I was lucky because we were moving at the end of the school year.
>>84316104So what I am getting is you are just looking to get out and the reasons are many. Ham radio is great for that. It's a reason why survivalists are getting into it. On our family property, there are cell deadzones which I use GMRS for since family is scared about le 35 question test, and I just like to stay legal. If you just text, LoRa and Meshtastic is something to look into and there are zero licenses for it. Ham you can use for both short (VHF, UHF) and long distance (HF). Just know, legally, you cannot use encryption or any kind of ciphers. However, as long as some boomer is not listening in on simplex, no one cares unless you are causing interference. Ham is the same, though you can obscure legally by using DMR, which is legal as long as you are not encrypting your signal. Most hams don't use DMR unless using a hotspot. Sp, it's ideal fir that. Most don't know anything about frequencies, so if you are on simplex, you are more hidden unless someone is using a SDR and can see your signal (likely not.)As far as costs, just using local analogue and local repeaters can be cheap. DMR radios start to get expensive. Going HF is unless you go low power (QRP) and it takes a bit of skill to get out at such low power unless you are using a low bandwidth digital mode such as JS8call or even morse code (which still is commonly used.)
