/pol/ was right

Fuck.
I'm an Australian and I just got arrested for viewing this.

Banning login credentials should be more than enough. Janitors can easily be vetted by allowing candidates to post pseudonymously while logged in, with their usernames made visible to the admins alone. I'd be surprised if some form of this wasn't already in use.

Demanding real names means the admins want to be able to pursue legal action against volunteers. This might be considered necessary for admins because maintaining ownership of the servers is very difficult to do without disclosing identities, but I can think of no good reason to ask the same of janitors.

What's to stop you from accidentally rehiring a canned janitor if you don't know who they are?

>>83
Nothing. If someone cares to go through the trouble of getting vetted again, they can obtain new credentials.

I have no clue how large the candidate pool for a large board can get. If the size is manageable, repeat offenders could be identified by their posting style.

Excepting the unlikely event that someone rehost it

http://w5ch.heliohost.org/
Posting is enabled. It's been getting a few spam posts though.

Considering how long its been up with no moderation I'm surprised it hasn't been hit more. Only /prog/ has been hit so far. The no-links-on-the-front-page trick has worked so far at keeping automated spam from hitting the other boards. Robots must have followed links to the /prog/ board from here.

If you try to get to the page and heliohost says the site has been suspended for inactivity (because I haven't logged into c-panel at least once a month), just enter the username, ``w5ch'' and click the renew button, or whatever it is. This isn't a problem because no one is using it, but just so you know.

[13:57:54] <moots> it'll be stored locally on my harddrive in an encrypted container
[13:58:06] <moots> and used to enforce the agreement, comply with legal/law enforcement requests and obligations, etc
[13:59:58] <moots> it will likely be held indefinitely, because the agreement stays in force indefinitely.
[14:00:09] <moots> you cant resign and leak shit

and leak shit

There's his motive.

>>87
well it looks like that worked out well for him!

>>88
It's as if the disgruntled janitor said to himself, ``oh yes I can!''
