Yes

Unfortunately, but it keeps the spam at bay. Imageboards and textboards still get bombarded with spam in 2024. They don't even need to be well known. If you installed Wakaba or tinyib on a server and left it alone for a year, it would be filled with so much spam you would have to nuke the server just to get rid of it - and hope you don't get arrested because people love to post links to CP and gore or upload images of it on seemingly abandoned boards.

It's not a big deal though, since the board is so slow in the first place, even if the mod immediately approved the post it would probably be 12-24+ hours until some random anon opens up 1chan to see it anyway.

Case in point, I just deleted this about two minutes before posting this reply. It was actually a nice chance of pace from the usual spam.

>>6608
what happened to banners?

>>6614
I couldn't tell you, to be frank. That's a better question for the admin. I'll shoot him a text and see if he has some time to drop by and chime in.

>>6616
Does he still use some homebrewn email solution gmail refuses to deliver?

Communication with him has been terribly one-sided :(
Considering how long it took to fix the tmp full issue, he's been moderately busy.

>>6618
As far as I know he does, yeah.

Also, I 100% dropped the ball and forgot to text him. My bad. Don't do trains, kids; it fries your brain.

I don't know either.
Although what >>6607 say's about spam sound about right.
The Captcha looks new, then even replying to a post on here for me is like pre-covid.
See how this goes.

kek, what even is this place?

>>6632
Oh like the 2nd oldest western imageboard. From whenever 4chan removed its train-board - history I'm not familiar of any more than that.

>>6631
Welcome! Sadly pre-moderation is on, because we can't guarantee 24h converage.

>>6635
I could have sworn that 1chan was just barely older than 4chan.

In either case, I love this place and hope it lasts another 20 years.

>>6598
I like it. That's very good.
That's a final solution to spamshiposters question.

many other boards should just learn from 1chan, while enabling pre-mod and disabling shitty JS-captchas.
And allow only strict on-topic discussions, without any /b/ deviants.
