Attention everyone, I have used science.

those arrows… don’t make me cut you… I’m near enough to actually do so :3

Futaba should be way further to the right.

THIS IS SCIENCE.

I believe this is pretty accurate. However, I dunno if SAoVQ and 4-ch can really be considered “pretty new,” but I guess coparatively speaking they are.

I heard Futaba was actually worse than 4chan due to being the same shit, only without moderation.

Eksopl: Futaba does indeed have moderators, many of them. Some of the boards get a lot less care and attention than others, unfortunately.

I think the big difference isn’t a question of if* it’s moderated, so much as *how it’s moderated. Seeing the effects of moderation is rare in comparison - there’s no (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) silliness; that came from Something Awful, which has a much different mentality than Futaba. Namely, there’s much more focus on “there are moderators” and consequently on “we can annoy the moderators”.

Though that’s just how I see it as an outside observer. Would be nice to find someone who actively participates on both to get a proper comparison.

… Oh, bravo on that formatting. You want non-greedy matching for that :P

Eksopl: That’s incorrect. It’s not nearly the same. Not sure where you heard that (presumably from people from 4chan). Futaba has a lot of moderation.

Nijiura threads are far more interesting (particularly may) than most other boards. I would say Nijiura is better than 2ch, but I’m still not an active enough participant.
