4chan Becomes a Reddit Clone

New Anti-Spam Requirement Anonymous /b/ Mod Feedback IRC :) 10/10/24(Thu)13:09:17 No.497902259 In order to post on /vg/ you will now have to do one of the following: • If you are a new user of 4chan, simply browse for 15 minutes before attempting to post. Click 'Get Captcha' then wait for the timer to count down. • Verify your email address to be able to post immediately. • Have a 4chan Pass. So for clarity, you do not have to verify your email address if you don't want to. If you are a new user, you can instead simply wait 15 minutes before posting. Link a thread, browse the site, or just come back later. After the wait, you can post threads and replies as normal. If you've been a user of 4chan for more than 15 minutes, the process should be seamless for you. If you are a new 4chan user, then verifying your email address bypasses the wait. You will need to accept 4chan cookies for any of these methods to work. Please ensure that your browser is not set to block cookies, or that you whitelist 4chan domains in any browser extensions you use which may block cookies. Should you choose to verify your email to bypass the wait, we will not retain long-term records of your email address. After the verification email has been sent, your email address will be purged from our servers. >>>/vg/497902254 # /vg/ will now either force you to have cookies enabled and wait 15 minutes to post or to literally make a 4chan account with a verified email, the cookie system is known to be broken on /biz/ as well, not much longer until this spreads to other boards and completely kills the site as it becomes a reddit clone
