Well, LC and CC are supposed to be female only, so I figured that went without saying, but many users think that both are flooded with scrotes. Even here, when things were first being posted, you had a lot of scrotefoiling and such. But from the janny perspective, how am I supposed to know if a poster is a scrote or not and properly ban them just from an IP address? Especially with tor posting and VPNs. If they have a post history, I can make a guess based on their other posts, hopefully. But otherwise, there's just no way to know for sure. If the website gets a reputation for hosting scrotes that don't get banned, just based on nonnie perception, then we have a dead site. If a post history is available to all users, then they can settle how they feel on whether or not a user is a scrote using their own discernment instead of being frustrated by what they perceive as "useless jannies". Plus, they would have the ability to ignore / block those users. The internet is mostly male, and it does get tiresome sometimes to only hear male perspectives and male opinions.
I don't know about 4chan since the last time I posted there was before they made the /adv/ board. I didn't particularly have any issues posting there, but I've also never been banned off LC. The autoban on CC has gotten me more than anything else lmao. I've posted on some of the altchans in the JSChan webring and haven't had any problems there, either.

Continuing my rambling from this post.
Another issue I have with more forum-like platforms is the urge people have to powerlevel / blogpost. I see this a lot on KF, which literally says not to powerlevel literally everywhere. Like >>4945 says, updoot farming also happens a ton, but I never saw that kind of thing on ovarit. Ideally, there would be no updoots, and posts would be posts.
I guess it would also be accused of being a honeypot. Another one of my projects was considered a honeypot based on... pure paranoia? Not understanding how github works? I don't know, it kind fo soured me towards making anything in the future, quite frankly. It can be frustrating to deal with that kind of negativity.
Making sure users make an account safely would also be a problem, since that *also* seems to happen on KF a *lot* even though the sign up page literally tells you "don't use a username you've already used", "use a burner email", etc.
Mostly, in this website I'm not making, I would like tor and vpn access. I just don't see how it could be done safely without actual accounts. I think this space has gotten away with it purely based on insignificance (in the best way I can say that).
