MODERATORS
I have no idea what any of that means, but I’ll definitely take your word for it.
Every post on a chan-style imageboard has a number. If the last two digits are the same, it's "dubs."
Now imagine a million threads full of nothing but people trying to get dubs on their comment. Yeah, it's really that stupid.
The creator of 4chan (moot) turned them off at some point (as in, it would skip any number with dubs, but not trips or above), but right before he sold 4chan he turned them back on.
Oh god that’s embarrassing.
