>>21736248It was a warzone of weebshit, frogs and jaks. /qa/ had to be constantly moderated, but hot pockets were fine with it as long as it meant meta threads were out of sight and out of mind. It's too bad they were psychologically broken and decided to just stomach those threads instead of leaving the board open, even if it meant letting the cancer that festered on /qa/ spread to other parts of 4chan. Eliminating containment boards has consequences. All the worst actors would go on to ruin places like /bant/ and /mu/, so perhaps a short-sighted decision, even if it resulted in an extended vacation for the mod team. The trannies on /lgbt/ were only an excuse for them to give up after they had reached their breaking point. Raids like that were a dime a dozen and absolutely no one nuked the likes of /b/ over them, so why /qa/?
