Its no secret that a large amount of the posters on his board are frequent discord users and are likely communicating with each other outside of the board. Due to this underlying community within the /bant/ community I feel that the anonymity and collective community that once made this board great in its early days has been severed by the individualism presented by the discord users and circlejerkers. Many pin the decline in quality on gayposters and spammers however i believe that this is simply a byproduct of the "shadow" commune that has formed this board. In response to this I deem that it may be necessary to outright shun all discord users as well as encouraging OC growth under the original guise of anonymous community.
