4chan
4chan is an American anonymous imageboard website created in 2003. 4chan is currently the most visited imageboard in the world and has influenced the internet as a whole.
The site was originally created for Moot's group of friends he had from Something Awful. the website was created from translating the source code of futuba channel into English.
The Original boards were /b/ games and /x/ photos/random.
Moderation
The main positions among 4chan's moderation staff are moderators ("mods") and janitors ("jannies"). Moderators can delete threads as well as ban users. Janitors can only delete threads and send ban requests to the moderators.
The moderation of 4chan has become subject to controversy [citation needed]. Innocent funposters, including appreciators of soyjaks, have become increasingly persecuted by the members of the moderation staff. Many of these persecuted users have taken refuge in communities such as soyjak.party.
