>>18856307>Anonymity counters vanityThis is the only point that still makes sense nowadays considering the state of 4ch.
We still have a lot of bad posters and a scarcity of good ones, but I guess that's a result of the popularity the site gained after a few events.
>Problems with 2ch-type forums often come along the lines of "people will be more likely to insult, flame, and troll if they're anonymous" [...] Either way you will need a dedicated team of moderators to police the board for trolling and nonsense.And guess what, we don't have good jannies, at least most of them aren't.
You still see a bunch of teenagers flaming political bullshit even on boards that don't allow that. And most of the time it goes unnoticed.
I am not saying that "it's over" or anything. But you have to handpick the threads that actually are on topic in order to evade that bullshit and have an actual discussion.
