4chan doesn't care about human annoyance. They just started doing a 15 minute post delay, which is infuriating. I had to whitelist 4chan in Cookie AutoDelete.

Hi fellow cookie autodeleter, I experienced the same thing, but I just decided to stop posting. Whitelisting felt too much like giving in to terrorists. I'm considering just not going there in the future. Maybe after all this time I will finally be free.

See you tomorrow, anon.

Same. In my case I always use a separate incognito mode browser for posting and a regular locked-down browser with JS disabled etc. So I'd have to either give in and leave the incognito mode browser running in the background while I browser on the main browser, or give in and stop blocking as aggressively on the main browser, and I chose to do neither and just stop posting.

Given the schizos that are still present and drowing out the conversation in half the threads I read, there wouldn't be a point to posting anyway.

Why are you doing this ? What are you trying to avoid ?

Just stop posting there. The whole point of it is to post anonymously in a high traffic forum. The rate limiting timers have reduced traffic to the point many boards feel dead, and their solution to that problem is to sell accounts.
