>>16087243thanks for the info. but mods don't do a good job of cleaning up /pol/ either way. the quality of /pol/ threads has been on a steady decline for quite some time. banning people and forsaking the to "this shitposting hellhole" drastically impacts the interaction. before my first ban i remember getting into lengthy conversations, being open and investing much time and effort into the discussion. then, when i made the wrong joke thread on a board filled with constant psyops, i got banned. if you get banned for 5 times a months, that's 15 days of no interaction. combine that with the complete and utter lack of transparency, it makes 4chan the last time place i want to be at. i don't care about the toxic content as much as this platform shunning creativity and open debate, by the very nature of it. really feels like the mods are some dumb teenagers that rageban anybody that doesn't abide by their strict interpretation of the rules, like forgetting what this place is in the first place: an imageboard where people occassionaly go off topic like during any healthy conversation. this goes against the spirit of being anonymous in the first place, it just becomes pseudo-anonymous if you're confronted everytime by a timer that locks you out, so you know they're just 1 step apart from indentifying you. not expecting a fix, i don't care if this platform lives or dies. it's stupid to begin with.
