“ | On 23 Aug, 2006, the moderators of /b/ have begun to strictly enforce its previously neglected rules on posting illegal content (such as child pornography), plans of raiding other internet communities, and personal information. While only the former was met with an undefined ban on the poster of such content, the new rules encompass all three catagories, and are met with a permanent ban on the poster, and a two-week ban on anyone posting posthumously in the thread, whether they supported the content or not. The public was outraged, with many declaring that this was overboard and that the quality of /b/ would suffer. This coincided with a server crash, which may have been attributed to restructuring to make these rules more easily enforced, a regular server overload, an angered user performing a DDoS crash of the server, or just general technical difficulties. | ” |

While only the former was met with an undefined ban on the poster of such content, the new rules encompass all three catagories, resulting in bans on the original poster and on anyone posting in the thread, whether they supported the content or not. This caused unrest in the /b/ community, leading many to find other image boards at which they could post such content without punishment.

This caused unrest in the /b/ community; while many lingered to express dissent, deeming the rules to be too harsh, others left to find other image boards at which they could post such content without punishment.
