Dear John,

Please sit down if you are easily flustered. I have a question which has been on my mind ever since the first time I laid eyes on this board. I assume we all know we can trust each other to not post anything which is too invigorating for our fellow users, and we can depend on this board to not raise our heart rate too much when all we want to do is browse image boards. I know I've come to depend on this place when I'm looking for something to distract me from my trash duties.

There is a problem in this, at least one I can see presenting, is how we are supposed to handle exciting content? I know I would hate to visit /eh/ and end up spilling my tea all over myself, but I would also hate to see us be the target of a group of differently-minded people who simply wanted to plague us with content that was above a certain threshold of tameness. I worry that simply removing the material might just excite them more.

You'll also have to forgive my blatant asking, John, as I know this issue has come up in isolated incidents before and was handled with an appropriate reaction, but I felt that the issue warranted more discussion, if for nothing else than to quench my curiosity, and stop the bugging of the question on my mind.

Thank you for your consideration

John Smith

Dear John,

Thanks for the inquiry. To my horror, I realised that I never really thought about this. If, for some reason, someone decided to raid us, it would cause a lot of commotion, no matter how I handle it. However, in such a case I could enable the captchas against bots, no matter how much they annoy and upset me (there's those random combinations of numbers and letters, I always wonder how it works. truly fascinating).

If it were actual human beings doing this, than it would probably be possible to politely show them the door manually, except if they came in great numbers. I don't think that will happen very easily though, since we are but a small piece of paper on the great desk that is 8chan.

Again, thanks for your concern, John. If I missed anything, feel free to correct me.

With high regards,

John Smith
