>> [_] Anon 3486139 >># demoralization from mods not giving a fuck
>> [_] Anon 3486146 >># Porn has never not been allowed. It's just that in the last decade the huge ease of access for nudes has made amateur porn all the more accessible. Plus after the celeb nudes were leaked on there people flocked to /b/ expecting it to be full of nudes, and it has become self-perpetuating at this point. It's wild watching it go from a place for weirdo kids to old Boomers and early Gen Xers posting their wives or fantasizing about being young pedophiles.
>> [_] Anon 3486178 >># Rather simple. A place that is moderated is a board to post on. A place that isn't moderated with effort will slowely, but surely devolve into just low effort porn getting posted. Depending on how less mods give a fuck even some of the illegal kind. This is why you cannot have user interaction that is unmoderated. It will be overrun by pedos, coomers and furries.
>> [_] Anon 3486183 >># >moderated with effort Depends on what that effort is being directed towards. A single moderator's whims and hateboners can completely decimate a community.
>> [_] Anon 3486185 >># this. but as the old adage goes: /b/ was never good
>> [_] Anon 3486191 >># Moderation on 4chan is also heavily dependant on regular posters actually using the report system, to the point I'd argue that mods don't even actively moderate some boards anymore and just sit around waiting for reports to come in. The problem is that the report form, 4chanX and the Native Extension have together created a culture where people would rather just hide posts than report them. Because it's easier to hide a post than to fill out a captcha. These two things are why boards like /v/ have become dumpster fires where the mods don't appear to do anything at all.
>> [_] Anon 3486202 >># you know what I've always thought would help would be the ability to type out like 24 characters of a reason for a report as well as report multiple posts together as one (which would give more point to the little check boxes to the left of every poster name) combine that with giving pass user reports higher priority (since I assume the actual pass itself can be banned, pass users have a greater incentive not to falsely report) beside that go over the rules page and clarify actual standards of posting, ban social media reposts and obvious spam bullshit (like certain schizophrenics which haunt certain boards), and have more public bans and bans for even replying to a thread lastly bring back visible sage and make sage automatically applied to any post replying to a saged post (unless the poster uses age)

Banning phone posters from creating threads could be effective as well.
>> [_] Anon 3435826 >># The mods have given up and are only interested in selling user data. They aren't interested in taking a tough stance against spam (to the contrary, swaglord created /film/ as an s4s joke) and, as /vrpg/ and /bant/ show, if there's a problem on a board they just splinter it over and over until there's just enough space for real discussion to squeak by on these "subreddit boards" while the core hobby boards remain unfixed and only end up being magnets for idiots. And it distances the users from each other more since they feel like /b/ is a lost cause, /tv/ is a lost cause, /v/ is a lost cause, etc. Instead of /b/ being the miscellaneous board where everyone comes together people just trash their home boards with spam because everyone thinks /b/ is a ghost town.

That's why we needed alternate "random" boards, and it's something that Moot even directly addressed in one of his old news posts.
