The text boards are a part of 4chan history and were used and enjoyed by a sizable majority. However, for too long they have been neglected. People have been asking for more moderation on the image boards and have been assigned janitors - yet there is not one moderator or janitor who checks the text boards of their own accord - rather they have to be messaged on IRC.

Boards such as /prog/ and /lounge/ used to be great. Now they're flooded with boring antisemitism prattle, necrobumping and spam. Gone are the days of Xarn and FrozenVoid. Enough is enough. Lack of moderation drives away good posters. http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1362292921​ http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1367054830​ http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1369376598/1-40​ http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1369183604/15,19

I'll leave you with this: "God damn lazy fucking moot. Can't even keep a single shitposting spammer from ruining every fucking thread and now we have to ask Putin to kill a guy for us. What an idiot." - in response to sorting out the spammer once and for all.

In closing, we the undersigned petition you to do something about the spammer problem. Adding the basic captcha built inside of shitchan would be a good start.
