How Sharty posts look like when you’re a janny.

Janitors, also known as Joons, Jan-jans, Janiggers, Mawds, or Tranny-Jannies (most commonly referred to as "Jannies" and "Tranitors" due to community's hatred for them and their annoyance) are a staff role and a race of fun-hating transgender untermensch generally charged with the lowly task of moderating 4chan and soyjak.party, as well as the name of a recently discovered brainworm parasite.

One can only wonder why such a menial, soul-degrading job is still staffed by humans with the advent of AI. The most commonly accepted theory is that the slavish, cucked loyalty of the Janitor is matched by no other creature, and hiring these social rejects is a massive decrease of spending, because he does it for free. Not all trannies are jannies, but all jannies are trannies.

Janitors often abuse their power in order to silence detractors. This happens on most websites (nothing ever happens ’weveralthoughalbeit). Since Salt took power in august, quite a few sharty jannies have been demoted due to hostile soycords trying to enter the admin team. One rogue janny kept on approving guro.

Etymology

Y'all can't behave.

The moniker of Janny is also used for the moderation teams of other websites such as soyjak.party, namely imageboards. This is often accompanied by phrases such as: "Clean it up janny" or "fuck niggers fuck Jannies" to mock the tired, sexually frustrated individuals that moderate these websites.

The original design of the Janny comes from Mr. Morris, a character from the PBS show Arthur, whose occupation is a janitor. Funposters have a long and well established tradition of making OC mocking the janitors. Among soyposters, this tradition has resulted in several soyjak variants.

Potraying jannies as Mr. Morris began in 2013 /sp/. 4cuck jannies disliked the board because shitposting was prominent when there were no sports on at the time and moot tried his best to keep these funposters out but failed so xe joined in occasionally under handles like "mootdusky" and "mootka" afterwards. When xe slowly got tired of 4cuck around 2013 he advised the janitors to crack down off-topic posts and shitposting on /sp/ harsher than ever before. This enraged the 4cacas who couldn’t care less about sports and just wanted to post their wholesome oldfag memes, so /sp/ cattywiped their own board in protest against Jannies with screenshots of Mr. Morris portraying them as Hot Pocket munching fatasses who never get paid for their work. Cattywiping as protest spread to multiple 4cuck boards such as /tv/, /fit/ etc.

Biology

The large ears of the character also represent the ease at which the brain slugs enter the human mind.

Though not known to be intelligent, Jannies appear to exhibit incredible in-depth knowledge of every user they have banned on the imageboards they moderate. They seem to have almost sub-human levels of encyclopedic knowledge of all the banned users' posting habits and can hence sniff out ban evaders with tremendous precision of up to 3% (±50%) based on factors such as absolutely nothing. It is possible that their potential for intelligence they could've reached in life has instead been delegated to studying every single anonymous user's behavior and patterns, likely in an attempt at jannying more effectively to impress the overlords he has the honor to work for, free of any pay.

As a species, Jannies are sluglike creatures that natively live in swampy areas. They are parasitic in nature, and they enter the brains of unsuspecting humans in order to puppet them. They then answer to a sort of hive mind, and seemingly are immediately added to the 4channel moderating team. The current reasons for this are unknown. Many debate if all jannies are "trannies" but it is common belief that is true for the 41% of the 4chan Janitors.

4chan jannies mostly dilate in /j/, as well as the 4chan IRC channel and Discord.

Moderators

On 4chan and soyjak.party, moderators are a higher rank of janny that are capable of applying bans, as opposed to the ban requests that regular janitors have access to. Moderators differ from janitors in that they are allowed to namefag to a certain extent

And no 4chan jannies do NOT have a button that reports posts to the FBI you will NOT investigate further

On Vichan

The default Vichan admin interface. [IP ADDRESS] is replaced with the poster's IP. Button meanings (from left to right): Delete, delete all from IP, delete all from IP on all boards, ban, delete, sticky, autosage, lock, cycle, edit, delete file, spoiler. The mod interface looks familiar, except without the D++ and edit buttons. There is also a [move] button, but it is disabled by default.

On soyjak.st

These people are GOONERS!Xey have a severe porn addiction induced by years of being terminally online clittycels

QUOTIST JANNIGERS WTF IS THIS KEEEEEEEK!

Jannies and mods on soyjak.st have a 4-character random ID made up of hex characters (0-9, a-f) which is used to identify them.

Sharty jannies can be identified on IRC if xhey have the cloak "@ACD4286D.169A1F6A.883A10F8.IP", which is the janny IRC bouncer. According to Quote the IP of said cloak is "localhost", which means both the IRC server and janny bouncer are hosted on the same server.

Janny roles

As of July 27, 2025

• Admin - Self-explanatory.
• Manager - Below admins, has IP access but not all admin permissions.
• Soor - A role made just for Soot when there was talk of him returning, though he never took Quote up on the offer.
• Mod - Self-explanatory.
• FDL - Nothing but access to the FDL capcode.
• Superjanny - Has cloak access like mods, but can only issue 15-minute stopgap bans along with a ban request.
• Janitor - Superjanny but without stopgap bans or cloak access, and so can only delete posts and issue ban requests.
• Mediator - No explanation needed.

Extinct

• President and JokeJanny - Janny roles exclusively for /dem/, but went extinct after said board was deleted.
• BoardManager - Used solely to sticky /a/ posts.

Janny notes

Are (You) sure that it's just getting started?Because my peer-reviewed studies indicate that...

IT'S OVER

Sharty jannies had the ability to write notes attached to your IP. The notes are usually notable characteristics of the user, the things the user has done or a janitors clitty leakage.

Copypasta

4chan version

A janny, in its natural habitat, looking for prey.

>he's a janitor
>on the internet
>on an anime imageboard
>he does it for free
>he takes his "job" very seriously
>he does it because it is the only amount of power & control he will ever have in his pathetic life
>he deletes threads he doesn't like because whenever he gets upset he has an asthma attack
>he deletes threads he doesn't like because they interfere with the large backlog of little girl chinese cartoons he still has to watch
>he will never have a real job
>he will never move out of his parent's house
>he will never be at a healthy weight
>he will never know how to cook anything besides a hot pocket
>he will never have a girlfriend
>he will never have any friends

Sharty version

An example of jannies abusing their power. This 'teen got banned for evading even THOUGH he didn't.

Trivia

• It is believed that Jannies are trained to write in a homogenous typing style so as not to be identified as individual moderators and harassed by users.
• Although the most commonly proposed etymology of the term refers to 4chan janitors, chudstorians hypothesize that it is a shortening of the Turkish word "janissary", referring to boys kidnapped by Ottoman rapesons, sodomized, circumcised, converted to Islam, and forced to do the Solomon cult's bidding for free.
• Jannies are fucking faggots that will never be white, will never be real women, and are jobless retards who need to go outside and stop being such disgusting annoying bithces, most importantly take a shower jeez the readers can smell it from their screens wtf
