>>120248973Open wide my dear newfag, I'm feeling in the mood to dispense some wisdom.
>for freeNot quite, but almost. Jannies get a free Pass as long as they're jannies.
>point of janniesResponding to reports and delete shitposts. Because your average board only has one designated mod, and he can't be online 24/7 to sift through thousands of posts.
>report posts/threadsNot true. Jannies can delete posts. They can't ban, but they can submit ban requests that needs mod approval.
>block postingThe 15 minute block means a janny has submitted a ban request on that poster.
>for what purposeIdeally, because they actually give a shit about the board and want to make it better. More realistically it's because it's the closest thing they'll ever have that vaguely resembles power. Obviously, those that fall in the latter category shouldn't be jannies in the first place, but unfortunately a lot of them are.
Heck, I spend 6-18 hours/day on this shithole and I see the catalog always having a dozen thinly veiled shitposting threads like this one. I honestly wouldn't mind being a janitor if I didn't have to communicate with the rest of the staff on a regular basis.
