I was pretty good friends with the former owners of the now defunct Frenschan and what ultimately killed the site was a lack of moderators and a targeted spam campaign by people who wanted to kill Frenschan. At the end the two owners were moderating the site themselves and spending all day constantly removing cheese pizza and fedposts because they weren't able to recruit more people to be moderators and the soul destroying spam just kept coming. Requiring easy account creation to post would help cut down on spam and allow more leeway for moderators when policing this place.

Account creation to post isn't bad, but tbh if people have to verify with email that is a major deterrent.

Well when I said easy account creation I meant it in that throwaway and temp email addresses would be allowed.

Would that even stop spammers? They could easily cook up a new throwaway before each spam session.

tbh, this is the fundamental problem of altchans, which is yet to be properly solved. Anything that would prevent law-breaking posts would also make the site unusable.

I would think that extra steps to post would deter all but the most committed spammers and glowniggers. I think perhaps slowing down the rate of spam and fedposts as well as reducing their numbers would be the intention of requiring accounts to post.

This is the right idea. Mods can already link people's identities by ip on the backend so there's not much lost making it account based.  I just don't want to know who the other people in a thread are on the front end. Imageboards are so very easy to disrupt if you're a bad actor. The starting effort for a thread is very important in determining how it goes, and if  disruption agents show up in the replies they will quickly get derailed. The number one thing that kills these smallchans is the moderation burden, and this cycle will inevitably happen if precautions aren't made.

I also think you should have a trial shell board for newfags where they can get sponsored into entry to the real ones if their posts are value-adding, these being kept otherwise secret. If you have problems with that try introducing registration in waves so existing users just show up and contribute and then later are given assigned backend identities for them to register for.  

This would also allow people to run vpns and tor effectively without having to get banned

I'm half drunk so this might not actually be a good idea, but in the case of raids or fedops, could the site simply turn off imageposts for a time?
That would deter the raidfags for the most part because it's less fun, and it would neuter fedops because the whole point is to post CP and then get the guy at the next cubicle to shit er down; it doesn't work if they have to post links to some other site.

Not a bad idea. Perhaps even put it on a time windowed limit, such as images can only be posted for a few hours when the mods are awake, free, and active?

most retarded idea out of all to create signups on an ANONYMOUS board. bots are able to cirumcvent captchas already.

soyparty had 24/7 jannies that review images before they can be seen by anyone else. Youd need a big team for that though.

they get verified / checked a couple seconds after posting. try it for yourself and see.
An alternative would be creating invite-only boards (or hidden boards, as some chans have it), where select people would be able to join in. You share it with a friend who shares it with a friend and so on. Slower growth but no accounts involved.

Account based? Or perhaps some unique code goven per person?

that would be a quick way to kill the momentum

>most retarded idea out of all to create signups on an ANONYMOUS board

Well then you tell me an alternative method that cuts down on spam and reduces the effects of raids that try and shutdown the site. Without enough mods the few that are left will be overwhelmed and may decide that it isn't worth it anymore like what happened with Frenschan and so many others over the years. The powers that be want to keep us stuck on the retardation that is 4trans no matter what.
>>129
Preferably a code. Could be a set one used by a lot of people and switched whenever infiltrators start being a problem. Anything else would hinder anonymity. Ourchan is doing well so far so I'd consider it only as last option, to avoid the website having the same fate as Frenschan.

their mods made some stuff no fun. i shilled hard for them fuckers, like retard on crack! as for spaming they were overzelous with that shit. i had a decently active bitchute channel for most of that ad if i linked to a video of mine now and again IF! It was funny or related to the topic that should have bbe n cool. i shilled the site SOOO MUCH in descriptions never asked nothing. sharing the stuff we make should always be ok. today for example my focus is sexy retards.  *also i only make serius eminent threats of violence on mlpol or catchan , and possibly soyjackparty? like its should say in the rules . if you want to call for the beheading of a specific zionist? do it on catchan, mlpol, or soyjack party. >>55
>>55 heardsmen i say!>>57 mlpol used to make people acknowledge isreals nuclear program before posting. i like them a lot. im pretty sure some of the erotic pony pics are just a shit test to turn off normies and maga turists. note the red arrow.

Wow and maybe there should be a voting system so quality posts can be bumped to the top and unpop- i mean low quality posts are hidden from view wouldn't that be amazing.

FUCK OFF

>account creation email and tracking IPs. 
I don't think y'all know what sneaker proxies are, rotating proxies, residenital proxies, mobile proxies, etc. With a simple script you can cycle through 1000s of IPs for your botnet. My point is you'll just cancel out real users. Also many of us use tor only. We aren't going to sign up for anything and definitely won't use the site if you start banning tor. Many VPN users too. Some of us have day jobs, careers, reputations, some of us woudn't want to be caught dead posting at places like this. I like the idea of limiting pictures for raids, or at least letting text posts and leaving pics pending until a mod is awake. I can contribute up to a min of hour of day modding, max two hours for a few weeks if things are going good. But is there anyway I can mod without turning on Javascript? I don't wanna get doxed as a "Moderator" of this place, no offense it's lovely. Also you got to get off telegram. I would've helped modded on Frenschan if there was a way to communicate with you people beyond telegram. I made a post about telegram in meta. Consider cwtch, simplex, xmpp, irc, mumble (not just voice has chat), this allows people to choose their security footprint. All of these can be run through qubes + whonix, so even if the glowies zero-day, it won't matter much. Lest they want to advertise their secret weapons to actual dangerous people. Again about telegram, I got resources, I know a shit-ton, but I've never used telegram or discord for instance. Nor I have used facebook, or any social media in my life. There is still underground BBS through dial up and serial that exists. That's where I come from, there's a whole underground you don't know about, also which is impossible for most of you to access, especially for you phone fags, don't think you can hook up a 56k modem to your android or setup a pots sip setup for dial up emualtion to trick the bbs / newsgroups into letting you connect  :)

Anyways my point is get a real chat app that doesn't require giving up my classified phone number only to get fucked over by ((( Pavlov ))) as he get's out-jewed by the French of all peoples, holy shit, telegram what a fucking mess. My 2 hours for volunteer for real. Happy to be here, I missed frenschan.

Fuck plebbit. I don't want accounts if we don't have to implement them but if they help cut down on raids, spam, and cheese pizza posts then then the mods would do good to consider them. What happened to Frenschan could definetely happen here and Ourchan has already come under attack by shills. I want this iteration of a chan to become what Frenschan didn't have a chance to become and that means finding a way to reduce the ability of nefarious actors to attack the site and put stress on the owners and mods who may eventually throw in the towel and decide it's not worth it anymore.

>telegram what a fucking mess

Yeah fuck Telegram. You'll continue to do well staying away from it fren. I got on thanks to a fren getting me an account created with a fake phone number only for that account to be banned months later because I was an open National Socialist on a platform that claimed to be a medium for free speech and expression. My fren offered me another fake number account and I was so angry at Telegram (and also thankful to get off that waste of time) that I declined the offer.
>>47 (OP) 
account creation is popular with forums, not image boards. They don't require any email, you just put in a username and password. I wouldn't mind that but it would break the nature of an image board.
>>47 (OP) 
Also might I add that a very simple solution is just more jannies. add some sort of image verification so we don't see that shit too, just like soyjak party.
Unless you have some sort of AI integrated into the website that scans for pornography or abuse material, you're going to have to rely on people. but you know that.
