The most notable of which being "The 4chan moderation team reserves the right to revoke access and remove content for any reason without notice."
I noticed something fishy starting a few weeks ago. I kept getting 3 day bans, but with no reason listed and/or no link to the offending post.
So basically I was being banned because the mods wanted to ban me. This turned into a permanent ban, I presume because of the updated rules that I wasn't aware of.
You are not allowed to DISCUSS anything that violates US law. I was banned for mentioning that I was worried my neighbours are abusing their kid.
Permanently banned from 4Chan for this. I tried to appeal it but it was rejected.
Always saw 4Chan as a freedom of speech platform but looks like things are changing very quickly.
That was your mistake. Just because it allowed all sorts of stupid shitposts, slurs and weird porn didn't mean it was a place for free speech. Power tripping mods are as old as the site itself. Some people got so fed up with that they made "freer speecher" alternatives, like 8chan.
maybe, but the rules were never like this. I've tried searching the web about people being unfairly banned and I barely found anything. They're definitely changing things.
It's messed up to get banned for life without any warning, explanation or second chances. Literally how would anyone know the rules have changed unless they read them every day?
It's gonna be hard for people to find out though, because most search results on Google are reddit ones, and people who go on 4chan are much more likely to be banned from reddit. So that's why I wanted to post this here. I know I'm not the only one and I suspect alternative websites will only grow in the future.
What board? On /b/ things could always be removed for no reason.
It was not on /b/
