No. That was during a time where mods, even moots, were both worse and better, seeing as they weren't as uptight. Everyone's standards were different too.

An old mod who banned lots of people in his time for random reasons (such as for being furries) while allowing the posting of CP. In the end Moot got sick of his shit and demoted and later banned him. Since then people have correlated his demise with the death of old /b/ and the beginning of the cancer, petitioning for his reinstatement. By now all chance of him returning is long gone (although Bring Back Snacks has become a meme) with his legacy remaining only as a symbol of old /b/

this was a meme, never real.

He was not a mod, he was an admin and practically created modern 4chan's code (you owe replying with an image to him)

moot and snacks got on an argument over a 4chan project that snacks wasn't doing fast enough and moot got so mad he removed his admin powers, snacks then resigned.

it's a shame because judging from the convention pics they were good friends. moot never talked to him again. way to hold a grudge.

lol wat.
Stop reading that ED you said you never read.

Moderation was nazi as FUCK back then, and it was great because it kept the quality above completely-shit-tier.
When that moderation died out and became invisible to end-users, the site went to complete shit in the space of a year. Hell, 9 months to be more correct.

>>339533
...just wow lol

>>339528
This.
The argument was hilarious but also sad because Snacks was terminated in the end.
They made up after it, but he still never came back to the site anyway.

I don't think they talk as much now.
I think they stopped actively "hanging out" a few years back.
>>
>>339554
>I don't think they talk as much now.

I think moot became very distant and curt with both people and his acquaintances in recent years. Like he started to actively move away from people he didn't like 100%

Nah m8, they banned like hell, but over stupid, if not no reasons. It just that then it felt like they were fucking around and stuff, but current moderation sometimes just feels butthurt almost.
>>
>>339604
They still banned shitty quality posts and did it consistently until that person either caved or fucked off.

Wordfilters were also used to target groups of shitposters, like the anti-japanese crowd by making weeaboo, wapan and other filters.
I'm sure I remember wapanese got filtered to something like "i should leave the site" or something like that. On /v/. Even then it was filled with those shit people.
>>

They pretty much solidify the fact that moot is a whiny douche, or at least he was back then.

There was a recording of some argument between them in voice, not sure if it was that call or not.
But I never did get to copy that from my hard drive before it scratched the fuck out of itself. ;-;
The chat log is all that I managed to copy to zip drive.

I'm still annoyed hard drives won out over zip drives.
HDDs are so fucking awful. Zips would have been easy to improve if it had the same effort HDD had put behind it.
But nooOOOOoo, let's make them shit, proprietary and non-standard, all with logic boards on them that fail regularly and you need to buy a whole new fucking hard drive to recover your shit or pay some ass to do it.
Fuck Seagate especially. I've only ever had failed drives from that company. I have drives older than half the posters on this site that still work today! Fucking Seagate.

It was many things. moot rebuilt it because he felt bad about killing the community. They also though racism and politics could be contained, but that was proven to be false.

He's asking donations as a fucking mod, he himself doesn't pay for the site. You do know the definition of "mod", right? Notice how the screenshot clearly says "You will receive NOTHING from me"?

That's wholly unrelated and was only for a brief period in the history of 4chan.

>>341831
Yes, and as a MOD, aka a MEMBER of Team4chan, he was involved in the site's financial affairs, which included DONATIONS for the WEBSITE, which were still being accepted in 2005 as part of the DONATE OR DIE campaign, where the PROFITS went to 4CHAN.
>>

You're seriously retarded aren't you? My whole point was that mods aren't involved in any financial affair, christ sake. Moderators MODERATE the community.
