Editing 4chan/Staff

Mods, developers, managers, janitors and any other variants go in this article. This is from whatever information I could scrap from many sources. Take all this with pincers and hazmat suits, as a lot of this infomation is old and could be inaccurate. And don't do stupid shit and try to contact or witch hunt anyone—they will promptly tell you to fuck off. Don't be afraid to edit this wiki if you have extra '''''relevant''''' information that is not already included, or want to correct infomation that is inaccurate/outdated. Adding references to claims made about a staff member is also highly encouraged, please include proof to every claim you can, as to avoid disinfomation.

Mods according to position:
<blockquote>
+q: Admin/Rizon Operator | +o – Senior | +h – Moderator | +v - Janitor
</blockquote>

= Admins and Moderators =

Mostly accurate thanks to many /j/ leaks and some mods just having poor OPSEC. However, remember that janitors come and go very fast. On January 21, 2015, moot mentioned that there are a grand total of 104 4chan staff members. On August 13th, 2018, a fired janitor mentioned that there are a approximately 130 members on the 4chan staff team. About 110 are janitors, and 20 are mods and managers.<ref name="janny">[https://archive.ph/2018.08.18-101120/https://8ch.net/irc/res/6927.html] "I got fired from being a 4chan jani yesterday" 8chan Thread.</ref> In 2022, a brazilian janitor (AKA J-Anon) showed that there were around 40+ diffirent moderators on the mod team.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240310043419/https://files.soyjak.wiki/Janon_4chan_Janitor_Leaks_(WWG1WGA)/]A compilation of leaks by a rogue 4chan Janitor, originally posted to rival imageboard Soyjak.party.

=== Present (Accurate as of February 2024) ===

*'''Hiroyuki Nishimura (informally referred to as hiroyuki or hiro, and also known as hiroshima or g00km00t in cruder terms)''' - The current owner and head admin of 4chan. He was the creator of 2ch, and is supposedly good friends with moot despite going against some of his wishes for 4chan. He lost 2ch in a coup among the shareholders. He purchased 4chan in September, 2015. Known for not being very active. Doesn't like to talk about 4chan despite him owning it.<ref>[https://archive.ph/fECD3]"In the U.S., His Site Has Been Linked to Massacres. In Japan, He’s a Star."</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/h1TqD]"Former UCA student drawing attention for ownership of notorious online message board 4chan"</ref> Known in japan for 2ch and his hot takes, you can usually find him live streaming on his YouTube channel or posting his opinions on his X Account.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/@hirox246] Hiroyuki's YouTube Channel.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/hirox246] Hiroyuki's twitter.</ref> Don't expect him to talk about 4chan in any way though.

*'''Mr. VacBob (aka MVB, Alexander Strange)''' - Main coder, writer of 4chan extensions, and maintains the 4chan servers. Been around since 2004, taking over the maintenance of the text boards after Shii was fired. From certain points of view, the real face behind all 4chan changes. After moot resigned, he became the prime mover of 4chan proper.

*'''RapeApe (aka RapeApe9k, GrapeApe, Narutomod)''' – Janitor/mod manager, former janitor of /r9k/.<ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/orbdcr.png]RapeApe back when he was a janitor talking about /r9k/, also hence his old name "RapeApe9k".</ref> Approximately got promoted to mod around 2012 / 2013. Allegedly one of the new heads of 4chan, as moot claimed a moderator manager was going be one of the successors. Earned the nickname "Narutomod" when he caused Naruto Day in 2013, when /q/ /a/ posters got mad at him when they accused him of actively protecting Naruto threads from shitposters and babysitting them. People then proceeded to try to dox him and thought they found his supposed hidden reddit account, but it wasn't his and ended up doxing some random redditor instead. <ref>[https://desuarchive.org/q/thread/723224/#723243]RapeApe explaining why the reddit account was not his in an old archive post.</ref>  Moot defended him by changing the board name to /a/ - "N/a/RUTO CONFIRMED BEST ANIME CHINESE CARTOON OF ALL TIME", with the subtitle "BELIEVE IT (also dubs are better than subs)", embedding a remix of "believe it", changing the posting form and stickying a bunch of Naruto threads. /a/ went berserk and began spamming CP and guro, forcing the mods to take it down. Moot then made [https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/91420362/#91420362 this sticky] addressing the witchhunt against him. In 2020 and 2023, he was featured in two news articles about his /pol/itical leanings and blamed for causing the entire site to become radicalized.<ref>[https://archive.ph/3Tr5l]"The Man Who Helped Turn 4chan Into the Internet's Racist Engine".</ref><ref name="paid">[https://archive.ph/MLE2g]"Inside 4chan’s Top-Secret Moderation Machine"</ref> One of them even revealed he is one of the few 4chan staff members who gets PAID (with real money).<ref name="paid" /> However, he was one of the first people to actively delete and take a stance against the GamerGate threads in 2014,<ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/igp9tb.png]RapeApe talking about removing the GG threads.</ref> and is (by rumor) allegedly friends with with kirt and sparto (420chan owners) who are both known for Hating nazis, and was seen shit talking /pol/ in leaked IRC logs.<ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/3whp9w.png]RapeApe expressing some distain for /pol/.</ref> So it's best to take these articles with a grain of salt. It seems like he wants 4chan to change as little as possible, has a short temper, likes guns, is highly educated about vidya games, Warhammer 40K knowledge, and is a former IRC rat but hasn't been seen there in a long time.<ref name="janny"/><ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/s213q1.png]RapeApe heavily implying he's Canadian.

*'''dsw''' - Moderator (Manager?). Also confirmed to be paid by hiro. Possibly could be desuwa. 

*'''Desuwa (aka Maxime Youdine)''' - Coder, "JavaScript Wizard", creator of Yotsuba Catalog, and a helping hand in the HTML5 reworks. He also added most features of the extensions into the main page and coded the 4chan API, and created an inline 4chan catalog.

*'''Troid''' - /a/ centric moderator. Was originally assigned in maintaining the 4chan archives but later had his archive privileges removed after going on a mass deletion spree whilst trying to cover up information about himself that was stored within the archives, despite such he retained his mod rights.

*'''kami`''' - /a/-centric mod, colloquially known as Kinomod among the userbase due to posting Kino no Tabi. Formed a close relationship with /a/ due to taking care of pests like Accelspammer. Posts similarly to Jeremy. IRC rat.

*'''ALTERNATIVE (aka DAVE and buttly)''' – Senior Moderator, also a manager. He was the one who suggested the creation of /tg/. IRC Rat.

*'''Invisibro (aka SwagLord, gingermod) - Jay Louis Irwin''' – Moderator/Manager. Has a tendency to ban people on /a/ for "inane" posts. Usually moderates /tv/ and /g/. [s4s]'s patron mod, he sometimes goes down there and stickies random threads and used to sometimes post in comic sans. One of the only members of 4chan staff allowed to be open about being a mod.<ref>[https://archive.ph/YfZU7] Jay Irwin's Twitter account mentioning him being a mod</ref><ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/o01h76.jpg]Post showing he has told people in the past without consequences</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/gYwQE]Swaglord putting 4chan in his public letterboxd account.</ref> As a result of this, he has been doxed endlessly for shitting up /g/ with flamewar threads that violate the only rule on the board to the point he text banned his address from 4chan.

You might be able to recognize some other names as well.</ref> Posts on /a/ from time to time, but spends most of his moderation duties on /v/. He has got in a few controversy's, one of the main ones was his deleting of lobcorp threads from /v/ because he considered them to be generals. When someone argued that smash threads that were similar weren't being deleted, he justified it because smash brothers was a "cultural phenomenon".<ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/utum9m.jpg] Screenshot of the infamous "cultural phenomenon" defense.</ref> Another tussle he has got into with /v/ was when anons completed a parody of Goodbye Volcano High called "snoot game" before the game is even released, just so they could showcase it for /v/3. The game quickly grows popular on /v/, and then the mods start deleting all threads about it. Someone confronts them about this on 4chan's IRC and receives unsatisfying answers from ABIB.<ref>[https://archive.ph/6UPq3]I_AM_ABIB and yournamehere defending the removal of the threads.</ref> The board gets angry and snoot game threads devolve into mockery of jannies, but mostly about him. Strong dislike for furries and lolicons. Also a IRC rat.

*'''yournamehere''' -Moderator, known for being pretty unforgiving to people in the 4chan IRC. One of the first people to also go against GamerGate threads in 2014.

(Also an incomplete list.)

*'''moot (aka Robert Bopkins) - Christopher Poole''' - Admin, Rizon IRC cop, and owner of 4chan LLC. Humble and stubborn to the point of being annoying. When the Rizon 4chan IRC was made, his very first words were "I wish to be the little girl". Somewhat impulsive, which led him to add and remove forced anonymous and IDs from /b/ and other boards on several consecutive times. He dated Maddeth during 2008, and was (by rumor) cucked by an undisclosed someone during 2014. Seems to not want anything to do with 4chan anymore, rejects all press interviews, and according to a 8chan leak he has ghosted and cut contact with the whole moderation team. He has completely moved on. Resigned on January 21, 2015. Mourned by all.

*'''KING JAFFE JOFFER''' - Coder, translated the 4chan Firefox extension to Google Chrome, and refracted the entirety of 4chan's HTML5 code. Resigned circa 2013-2014.

*'''Man of Wax''' - Coder? He was around since 4chan's revival. In charge of donations during that period. He also attended the 2006 4chan Otakon Panel.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR3YsEn_jiY&t=970s], 4chan: The Otakon 2006 Panel</ref>

*'''Anonymous-san - asan - Josh (Popularly known as modcat)''' - #rasberryheaven, goon – Mod since pretty much the beginnings on 4chan, who supposedly quit around April 25, 2012 because he was trying to contact a girl in his circle of friends (Which happens to include moot), or a girl from /soc/ (sources vary a lot), and asked for advice on /soc/.<ref>[https://files.catbox.moe/nv8zhq.jpg]the warning and message's asan sent to a girl from /soc/.</ref> He then used the warn function to give his contact info to female posters who were helping, but one flipped her shit out fear of being banned, and another ratted him out with moot who fired him. Some say he asked to have his powers revoked and moot complied. Others say he later asked him to have his mod status back, but moot is the hero 4chan deserves but not the one it needs and denied it. moot later confirmed he resigned during a Q&A on /pol/. He later regained his mod status circa 2017, only to lose it yet again when submitting a politically-charged warning regarding Right Wing Safety Squad threads.<ref>[https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/894474/#894474]Archive of RapeApe explaining why he fired asan.</ref>

*'''Shii – (To this day its unknown whether Menchi is Shii; mods claim they are not) - #raspberryheaven - goon - http://www.shii.org/ - http://aya.shii.org/ - and many more''' - Biggest English textboard/imageboard personality before Snacks. Tried to take down 4chan due to loli, but quickly had a change of heart. Member of world2ch (posted as Menchi), later helped moot to code the site on its beginnings by further translating 0ch's PHP (Though not flawlessly), and maintained the textboards. Got banned from Something Awful during the loli purge. He was active from 2003 to 2005, when moot deemed him too dramatic to be a mod. According to the Aussie modleaks, still a mod as Menchi. Or at least still retaining his privileges but no longer moderating. He is also a Web Archive admin (And deleted some evidence of his involvement in world2ch and 4chan saved in there) and a Wikipedia admin (where he stored a list of all his loli anime pages). Mod at /dqn/ and /saovq/.

*'''W.T. Snacks - http://cookiethievery.com/ - http://snidnightmacks.tumblr.com/ https://midnightsnacks.fm''' - Admin. Coder. Internet Meme. Started during 4chan's revival and made a lot of vital changes to the futallaby code (reply with an image, quoting, information about posts, being able to see the amount of hidden posts in a thread, and also hiding the post from a thread in the first place). Got fired in 2005 due to being accused of being a lazy coder by moot. Used to browse #4chan and advertise his own radio show, Midnight Snacks, which is hosted on twitch. It's about mini-mixes, remixes and general electronic music. The dude seems to have a knack for it since the Soulseek days. Was featured in a small interview in the netflix documentary "the antisocial network"

*'''Censored Vagina (aka C_V) - #rasberryheaven - goon''' - Admin and a sort of bridge between the community and moot during the early days. Made some of 4chan's earliest news posts, as he handled donations in 2004. Convinced moot to restore /l/ - Lolicon when it got taken down due to CP. Active from 2003 to 2004. He was permabanned from SA due to pedophilia/lolicon. Talked about child genitals a lot.

*'''5''' - Had his own secret board dedicated to pictures of him, created by WTSnacks as an in-joke. He was and is Snacks' best friend. A few months after Snacks got demodded he stickied a Midnight Snacks thread, which he co-hosted at the time. The thread was unstickied by moot, and then re-stickied. Because of this people believed a mod war was raging and shouted the meme BRING BACK SNACKS. Jokingly, both users called the show "Radio free 4chan" for the night. This and a streak of inactivity cost 5 his mod status. moot later claimed it was a demoddable offense to sticky radio show threads.

*'''Dongfix (aka Enumeric) - Imgbear.com''' - Coder, he has written many scripts for the mods and janitors. IRC rat. Resigned on 2013.

*'''Xennon''' – Flash coder. Admin for one day because of a GET. Supposedly leaked the logs where Snacks was fired by moot.

*'''Soviet_Russia (aka SoRu)''' - 4chan Mod and famous tripfag. Made mod in the legendary board /z/ and attention-whored it to death alongside his brother Dash_Billions. He was eventually banned.

*'''Shut (aka John) - #rasberryheaven - goon''' - Coded around by the time W.T. Snacks was fired (2005), and active as far back as 06/2004 and as late as 2007. He maintained the devblog and fixed a bug that allowed huge files on the site if they were .btm.

*'''thatdog - SA/ADTRW goon - http://www.1chan.net/''' - Goon that helped coding that PHP around 2003, created the test board /r/ - TRAINZ, and funded the site 1chan to satisfy his need for TRAINZ. His website also contains the original overchan, and an old, outdated list of *chans. Look there for a piece of the past. Made Futaba-SQL and the beta archive futallaby around 2003. Got in an argument with moot and dropped support during early 2004 (moot apparently had great skill when it comes to angering people who help him).

*'''Allyson''' – Underage b& mod from circa 2006. She was kind of a drama whore.

*'''Lec'''

*'''Kusanagi (aka KusKus / brbgone2gensokyo / fsdfdsf)''' – A famous /a/ mod. He was known by everyone for extremely favoring and encouraging /a/ board culture. He was also known for having blunt political opinions on IRC. On December 22, 2014 he got into a fight with yetsturdy on #janiteam and both were fired by moot. The change of mods in /a/ was noticed immediately and let to small wave of shitposting.

*'''yetsturdy (AKA thisisacleverpassword)''' – /a/ and /mlp/ Janitor. Got into a fight with Kusanagi and got fired on December 22, 2014

*'''Redwood (AKA Henchouse)''' – Mod, famous /co/ tripfag for years as "Inspector Redwood", who ultimately got ousted during the 2014 aussie leaks and had to stop using the trip. He used to publicly ban people who called others "nigger". He later returned to tripping and allegedly left the moderation position. Was forced to change his mod handle after being outed (to "Henchouse"). Allegedly resigned after sometime after being outed. 

*'''Brian "Okk" Raddatz - #rasberryheaven - goon - http://darksquid.org/'''

*'''FrankStallone (AKA dr.wiii)''' – Mod that retired during early 2010.

*'''Mr.Spooky''' - Ex-mod who spawned the catchphrases "I've never seen so many ingrates" and "You'll receive nothing from me." after a rant regarding donations. He frequently made stickies on /b/ begging for money because he got thrown in jail and needed donations to pay off his court fees.

*'''Saber''' – Hosted [https://not4chan.org not4chan.org] along with Censored Vagina when /l/ and /g/ got too problematic to handle. He proceeded to add some boards like /ss/ - Straight Shota.

*'''Burnt Sulphur (aka ponyfaggot)''' - Moderated /mlp/ since Friendship is Magic's debut in 2010. Regularly baited pedophiles and acted as an anti-pedophilic vigilante in the /mlp/ and /l/. Frequently argued with other janitors and thus earned the reputation as the "Dr. House of 4chan." Resigned in 2017 after her wife, (name omitted at the request of Burnt Sulphur) and her daughter were killed, citing alcohol addiction as the reason she retired. Generally showed strength of character even at the cost of herself, even if she was kind of a dick. Loved, and missed, by /mlp/, /k/, /3/, /a/ and /w/.
