Have you see the garbage that's left on 8chan? Go browse /pol/ or /leftypol/ and tell me if these are forums you'd want on your own site. As someone who's been a moderator on web forums before I've tended to use a light touch when dealing with bad actors and trolls but even they wouldn't cross lines that the denizens of 8chan regularly cross and find more ways to be vile in such a manner that is beyond breaking moral codes but also breaking legal ones. Doxing, posting child porn, advocating for genocide, stalking, and etc are all regularly occurring on 8chan since its inception. Basically, 8chan is what you get when you don't use the ban hammer. It's why 4chan oddly is marginally more well behaved because Poole/moot before selling 4chan started laying more ground rules like no-doxing (that happened due to the nonsense around 2014 with Gamergate). So, the fact Watkins refuses to manage his site just shows negligence on his part. If Poole/moot can do it then so can Watkins, otherwise he can just sell the site or shut it down. He deserves no other options in my opinion. |
