So, this is what I have: I develop an imageboard engine that a few sites use. Since imageboards use ips to moderate users and tor users can't be moderated like that, I implemented separate restrictions that can be enabled. Tor users can be prohibited from posting files, from posting at all or they can be allowed to post if they solve captchas every now and then that gives them a cookie to be used for a few posts until a new one has to be obtained.
However, is not rare that people abuse sites that allow tor users to post files, causing file posting from tor to not be enabled often. So I thought of something: allowing tor users to create an optional account that when used, would associate their posts with their account, allowing mods to ban them. Not only that, but using these accounts would allow them to post without the restrictions set in place for tor users. This system would be optional and wouldn't replace the regular actually anonymous tor posting.
So the question is: how many people would actually trust the site in exchange for those additional posting privileges? Would it be enough to justify implementing and maintaining said feature?
No, that defeats the whole purpose of anonymity. If anything can be traced back through some niggerlishious measure like a fucking forum account botnet it's not true freedom, not to mention the possible cross-referencing by sophisticated botnets thanks to all the additional metadata present on the server. One might slightly mitigate it by only having a very limited posting history cache, but then you'd have to put a time limit on repeated posting of files to prevent spam during moderator downtime so it's all shit.

Why do you hate Tor?
Juan Fisher
I don't, actually and I also wasn't in favor of the idea of accounts because I know they go against the point of tor. I am just reflecting on a compromise surrounding a suggestion from a user.
Ian Turner
So why not just allow Tor users to post files?
Jace Garcia
Shitloads of CP.
Jonathan Gray
Turns out the most active crowd on any anonymous service is the pedos. They're aggressive in how active they are and how much they spam their shit every where. Tox and Tor both suffer from this problem and it's not one easily solved.
Forget accounts. Let admins decide how many posts a cookie lasts for and if they want to allow file uploads. Give all the power to the admins and then just walk away.
Jaxon Davis
Hell yea ! ;)
Eli Hall
Does that actually happen? How much is shitloads?
Easton Roberts
From what I could infer from what a guy that uses my software had to deal with, I can imagine a dozen or so every single day at least.
Isaiah Peterson
Okay then, I didn't realize it's so severe. Why would someone sit there and post CP? Maybe these are bots and could be banned by some other way?
Liam Smith
They are not bots, the captcha would have blocked them.
Ryder Russell
It's one of the few ways left to troll old fags (who mostly don't care). They may use it as a gate way drug or other shit, it depends if you believe pedos are natural or if it's child hood abuse that makes them pedos and they look to spread their mind virus.
Nicholas Collins
So why not just allow CP?
Kevin Lopez
Because then your host and maybe domain registrar shuts you down. That is, if you don't get arrested.
Because feds will start monitoring you. Why attract attention to yourself when you only want to discuss about Zig Forums for instance? It also serves no other purpose than to derail discussion and kill good threads.
Samuel Gutierrez
get on with the current year, user
Ryan Carter
Yes, but the level of monitoring is different. A bunch of autists arguing about GNU plus Linux is not the same as a bunch of pedos discussing weird shit. There is also a possibility for admin to get v& for distributing CP even though he didn't post or endorse anything.
Julian Martinez
How completely shocking it is that the demographic of people who have been constantly suppressed and censored are the ones who embrace anonymity the most. How could this ever have happened?
Here's your real redpill: CP laws do nothing to protect children. In fact, they do the exact opposite, as every study in every area that has legalized the possession of CP can verify.
Chase Davis
Thanks for derailing the thread, discussing how moral is to have and distribute child porn is everything I wanted tbh.
The way to solve it isn't to censor them. It's to put a gun against the back of their head and pull the trigger twice. That solves all the problems with all child molesters.
Who knew executing the degenerate would force them to behave themselves? Oh that's right. Our forefathers did.
Talk round the pedos. You can reply to multiple posts in a thread and respond to any discussion on topic.
Ayden Martin

Isaac Roberts
So for what kind of freedom do you think you stand up for ?
Kevin Morgan
Our forefathers didn't have a problem with "child molestation" unless somebody was actually getting hurt. This hysteria is a very recent invention, and idiots like you fell for it hook, line, and sinker in your quest to try and achieve some sort of moral high-ground.
Christopher King
Like how pre-puberty genitals get damaged if exposed to sexual behaviour or the mental health problems it creates like homosexuality? Thank you for proving their point.
Only an idiot wants absolute freedom. It's an apocalypse tier event.
Jonathan Flores
I'm not standing for anything, I just want to develop useful tools for people to use.
Jackson Martin
Sure, if the only definition of "sexual behavior" you accept is "forceful penis-in-vagina intercourse".
Jayden Rivera
How about give the regular users accounts and when they log in to that account they can set a preference to not see what tor posters post.
Leo Mitchell
Your host and the cops don't care about it.
Caleb Parker
Be underage thot If such a thing exists?
Alexander Carter
I was already predicting how the thread would go from that point on, just look at the half dozen posts related to that one.
Aiden Reed
Give the cops and host accounts too. With the torposters blocked.
This is the only solution when you really think about it. Torposters get triggered by having to register account. The police get triggered by seeing illegal content. So you make the police have an account where they dont see illegal content. Everyone is happy and nobody gets triggered.
Levi Allen
lmao
Ryder Perez
They were replying to you though, not him. Had you ignored the troll instead of overreacting, this shitstorm would end before starting.
Jason Campbell
But you choose anonymity and the inclusion of the Tor network to hide yourself from the government...while completely accepting the fact that they can destroy you whenever they want. You cannot use anonymity to hide one illegal thing under the assumption that it's not as worse as another illegal thing.
Andrew Morris
Go fuck yourself. You want "trolling"? Here's some fucking "trolling".
