Man the fuck up Harden the fuck up Bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Introduction Now that the inb4 page got your attention, who we are does not concern you. We‟re regular 4channers, just like you and me, we post in threads, we create threads, and we contribute content for the entire 4chan community. When we saw the global announcement for Otakon 2010 and 4chan, we were suspicious. First, we knew that moot is done with anime conventions after Otakon 2009. While Otakon had a 4chan panel in the past in 2007, 2006, and 2005 we wanted wanted to check out /cgl/ if there was any big plans actually happened. What we saw and witness from the beginning to end was something less than that. As a matter of fact, there was no big event. In reality, the “big event” was a known tripfag who was bullied by their own board they go to, and then in the end intentionally falsely banned from 4chan‟s /cgl/. That person was Jkid (used to be known as „Anonymous of College Park, MD‟) who was a fine contributor for /cgl/ , and was a active 4channer and active member of #4chan since late January 2010, until the public banning. The main reason why would a person be publicly banned for no reason just for asking for his mask back outside of /b/? We actually managed to contact Jkid via rizon irc for all the details about it and he actually assisted with us with the investigation with pictures, his testimony, and chatlogs. Throughout the three months started the investigation, this simple investigation turned into something more deeper: A simple mistake from a former 4chan moderator (W.T. Snacks) and a need by a current 4chan moderator to prank a user he knew from irc, which backfired for him but he and his friends salvage the opportunity by starting a bullying campaign because it was discovered during Otakon 2010 that Jkid was African-American and has Asperger‟s syndrome. The worst part of the entire thing is that the administrator of 4chan.org, Christopher „moot‟ Poole, the person who hired these moderators, knew about this blatant abuse of moderator powers when Jkid initially filed a complaint against the main person involved in the farce and completely failed to hold him accountable or to intervene in any way. As a matter of fact, he was apathetic about 4chan in general and thus apathetic about his situation. When we investigated that we found more shocking evidence, that not only it was the most irresponsible action he did history of 4chan but he did it to cover the moderator‟s actions, which believe it or not and most of the general public does not know about it but, he is a personal friend of moot. As a matter of fact, most of the general public do not know who moderates 4chan, but we can tell you that they are all moots‟s friends. Jkid did not want to be involved in any cosplay drama, he got sucked into the worst drama he ever experienced: mod-fueled drama and instead of FrankStallone being held accountable, Jkid is the real loser in this mod-drama. This investigation and this paper, is a result of four months of research, analysis ,detective work, internet detective work, irc infiltration, exposed not only what the real reasons why Jkid was subjected to social bullying by 4chan moderators and their friends who attended Otakon 2010, but the real problem what was going on with the moderation of the 4chan boards. While this report is meant for the people who gone to the /cgl/ board, this is also for the 4chan community and the general public who know 4chan as to reveal the end result when there is lack of real supervision of moderators administrators hire for their forums. We feel that the 4chan community and the general public must know this, not only for the lulz, not only for great justice, but to expose what is really going on to the site that you, and the public visit for the past seven years. But the biggest thing we have to fight against was apathy. Apathy of the people we want to offer the story with, the apathy of the people who witnessed the event and viewed it as entertainment, and the fear of apathy of general public, who know only about 4chan as /b/ and for it‟s internet memes only, and not the rest of the 4chan community. Finally apathy of the 4chan community who complain about the site but when presented with real evidence or real moderator power abuse, they act like assholes who don‟t give a damn. As a matter of fact, the entire theme of the document is apathy, and it was something we had to fight throughout this time we did this investigation. We hope that you find this document informative to what is really going on behind 4chan. Best regards, The investigators Apathy is death – Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil - 1 Timothy 6:10, New American Standard Bible Summary of Investigation Findings: 1. Jkid, a known tripfag of /cgl/ - Cosplay and EGL, was a victim of a mod-fulled drama via prank and a bullying campaign perpetrated by FrankStallone, a 4chan global moderator who mods /g/, /v/ and /vp/. 2. Jkid was the subject of “A Profile in DERP”, because FrankStallone egged W.T. Snacks (a former 4chan moderator) to find the post on the forum Jkid and WT goes to, make the flyer via MS Paint while Snacks was drunk. 3. Everything was planned before hand during the #4chan irc meetup at Pratt Street. The 4chan irc meetup was a gathering of current mods (ALTERNATIVE, Anonymous-san, pixel, FrankStallone), Former mods (WT Snacks, Allyson, and other unknown person) , old fags and tripfags (Dragonminded and Funk_Brothers among others). They planned to post the flyers will be distributed and shown during the /cgl/ meetup on the other side of the Baltimore Convention Center. 4. At around 11:15pm the flyers were posted all around where the /cgl/ meeting took place. At the same time all the people who were in the #4chan meetup just watched the /cgl/‟ers and laughed and looked at them at them. No one from the #4chan meetup came down there, not even one famous oldfag or tripfag came there because they did not want to look „uncool‟ in the eyes of the cool kids (read: The 4chan moderators who was there). Yes, the mods could have met up with their users, but they refused to. It shows how cliquish they are because they got their modship personally from moot because he really, really, likes them. 5. Jkid was there, and he was pissed that the flyers were posted. But the people who were there told him not to worry about it. But it got more sinister the next day. 6. After Jkid met and saw dongfix‟s (a friend of Anonymous-San) badges, he kept an eye out for the 4chan mods who attended the convention. But he was too distracted by the cosplay and enjoying the anime convention to even look for one. 7. Oh yeah, Jkid did cosplayed as Anonymous. With the shitty green cardboard mask. (He did not care, he only used the mask to cover his face for the photos. The reason why the mask was crappy because he did not had the money or time to make a proper one, he had a budget $1000 which he had to use to get to work, eat and used the rest of the money attend the convention for the weekend, and for the cosplay clothing and the clothing itself was expensive) 8.
