Weeks before my visit with Fortuny, I had lunch with “moot,” the young man who founded 4chan. After running the site under his pseudonym for five years, he recently revealed his legal name to be Christopher Poole. At lunch, Poole was quick to distance himself from the excesses of /b/. “Ultimately the power lies in the community to dictate its own standards,” he said. “All we do is provide a general framework.” He was optimistic about Robot9000, a new 4chan board with a combination of human and machine moderation. Users who make “unoriginal” or “low content” posts are banned from Robot9000 for periods that lengthen with each offense.

The idea does have its appeal, I must admit.

I'm kinda nerding out trying to figure out how to automate detecting low content posts.

Worth considering. Sounds interesting. Try it out on a sub-board?

Control + F "bill magill" would be a good start.

I'm wondering how you knew the xkcd-weenies were responsible for this.
