Containment board
This page is a gem.A containment board are boards meant to prevent a certain form of posters from coaling up the site by keeping them to a specific board.
They are usually considered a solution to keeping a group out of the good boards rather than just kicking them out of the site, which may be hard and instead cause protests and raids from said people resulting in the site being stunk up with brim and spam or even a full on war in worst case scenarios.
When 4cuck refugees started arriving to the Sharty after the Great Cuckset, a bunch of containment boards accommodating to their interests were created to stop them from coaling up /soy/. Albeit these boards instantly turned into a DNB when most of the refugees swarmed back to 4cuck after it returned, so majority of them were deleted a few days/weeks later. There are still some boards standing for some reason, such as /asp/.
Criticism[edit | edit source]
Some detractors claim containment boards bring unwanted attention or fail to actually even contain said people and make the site worse overall. Detractors usually say that the final solution to this is to purge said people instead and keep them off your site. Although, these purges are usually overkill and can hit many soyteens, as witnessed in the Great Purge.
Examples of Containment Boards on the Party[edit | edit source]
Examples of Containment Boards on 4chan[edit | edit source]
/mlp/[edit | edit source]
By early 2012, most 4chan users were extremely tired of bronies ponyposting on every single board for the past year and a half, and ponyposting was an effective way to bait at this point. On Valentines Day, moot ended up making an /mlp/ board where you could ponypost as much as you want, and banned all ponyposting on 4chan outside of that board.
/biz/[edit | edit source]
On February 13, 2014, /biz/ was created to move out the extremely active crypto general in /g/, and economists on /pol/.
/vg/[edit | edit source]
/vg/ was created due to half the /v/ catalog just plain, simple generals.
/v/ has so many containment boards to the point where it has it’s own board category on the front page of 4cuck listed as "Video Games", containing boards such as /vm/, /vrpg/, /vst/, /tg/ etc.
/sp/[edit | edit source]
/sp/ was originally created in 2006, but was later deleted by moot due to extremely low activity.
However, in February 2008, the Boston Patriots were on track to going all 19 games during the 2007 season unbeaten, but ended up losing the final and most important match: the Super Bowl. This made their season record a near perfect 18-1, and as a result posts about the Super Bowl were spammed accross 4cuck on every single board. Moot brang back /sp/ to contain these spammers.
