Why does moot decide to freeze the ENTIRE of 4chan every so often?

From my experience it seems he does it when someone posts something stupid on /b/ like that guy who made the post about strangling that woman to death. I can only assume this is so feds can grab the info they need before it gets pushed off the catalog.

Can mods explain why the whole site has to freeze just because of one or two retards on one board? It's really annoying and I wish he wouldn't do it.

I assume it's because it's easier to just freeze the whole site.

Or it might be part of the terms the feds gave him.

Why did moot even bother signing up to the agreement with feds in the first place? Hotwheels manages to keep illegal content off 8chan quite easily without bending over for feds, surely moot could just archive+delete+ban illegal posts and give relevant info to the feds if he really wants to co-operate? Wouldn't that be much easier than shutting the whole site down for a day?

I'm glad moot is pro-active about keeping CP and shit off 4chan but this method just seems too heavy-handed and quite lazy. The whole site shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of an individual.

>Why does moot decide to freeze the ENTIRE of 4chan every so often?

The site's code is not enterprise level and frequently locked up without user intervention while the coders worked on it.

Understand that 4chan doesn't even have test servers so all changes go live without checking to see the outcome first.

There was no agreement with the Feds.

Why you believe there was is a mystery to me.

Fullchan Autist 01/20/15 (Tue) 20:10:13 033b20 No.846

Because 4chan always had a opaque, shit moderation system. The emphasis is on shit. Compare it to 8chans system where such tinfoil doesn't exist.

Fullchan Autist 01/20/15 (Tue) 20:30:18 a9c21d No.849

So, the whole basis for the belief that moot made a deal with the feds is that moot has never proven he didn't?

Wow. Ok.

Giving testimony in court isn't "making a deal with the feds". When the court hands you a subpoena, you don't have the option to ignore it.

You are earth shatteringly stupid.

Let me guess … you think you're anonymous here.

You're on the internet. Every single website you visit can detect your IP, location (how do you think the country flags work?), browser you're using, OS you're using, and a whole lot of other shit about you.

If you do something illegal, the cops may subpoena that information and any website owner who doesn't comply becomes an accessory.

Nobody on this planet is willing to go to prison for you. I'd give your ass to the feds without even thinking about it before I'd spend one second in handcuffs for your "freedom".

oh noes I can't do illegal shit online anymore with no consequences

Another reason why 8chan is better: The only global rule here is

>No illegal shit

In the face of this rule you must be a special kind of moron in order to admit to a crime here and then give out evidence. Go to /crime in the darknet or IRC if you want to do illegal shit.

>>856

This was more of a concern. WAS since /b split into fractions.

>>849

Basically this combined with all the info pictures posted here. I have never heard of 4chan having easy to follow global rules.

moot announced years ago that he would start co-operating with feds

based newfag

Fullchan Autist 01/21/15 (Wed) 18:05:06 a9c21d No.907

>>897
Yes. Co-operating in the sense of, "If they subpoena me, I'll answer the summons and provide to them anything demanded in a legal warrant."

If the FBI showed up at your door with a legal warrant to seize your computer, what would you do … say "lol no try it bitch! muh freedomz!!!"

They'd tazer you and take you to prison and get your computer anyway.

I'd try to run to my computer and use my magnet on my harddrive if I don't get shot in the process.

This has me wondering if there's a way to make a hard drive self-destruct. I suppose if the proper safeguards were disabled, the platters could spin fast enough to melt…

Maybe they don't only need the one specific thread but the whole "surrounding" threads and posts as well.

Fullchan Autist 01/21/15 (Wed) 23:47:46 3d487e No.954

One thing to remember is that Moot did accidentally nuke the entire site for a day trying to remove the Usaka birthday shit.

Not to mention that halfchan doesn't even have as many features that we have over here, despite this site not even being around for half as long as halfchan has.

It's entirely possible that he can only freeze the entire site as opposed to just one board.

I'm not kidding, most of the site freezes are something breaking. moot's idea of fucking with 4chan was overt and unclever, not making it refuse to accept posts.

Fullchan Autist 01/23/15 (Fri) 03:37:52 309aa0 No.1052

Can someone fill me in on why in the fuck it takes 15-20 seconds to make a 4chan post now?

Fullchan Autist 01/23/15 (Fri) 05:29:18 afc8c9 No.1053

>>1052
That is 4chan taking all your personal info (IP addy, etc) and saving it to their servers in real time.
