> its not more on the back end anon, its more info on the client side. my nigger, the data you are asking for is compiled serverside.  > there is no extra data mining baked into the back end. that you could say is a technicality. it would greatly surprise if there is a shred of real anonymity, still then, you are asking for open access to these datamining tools. > its simply displaying data that already exists to users on the client side, to help the user experience. > ip counters were removed why? what would you need it for i wonder? to construct arguments on the basis of raw data and in utter disregard of the actual contents the posts? earlier on you've called me a jew and a shill -- if you saw that ip counter and found that it's really just the both of us and a handful of lurkers in this thread, would you double down on it and believe to have been shadowbanned of sorts? that's about the only scenario i can think of that is remotely relevant. > its also a tool to not just filter out one guy, its a tool for the repetitive disruptive behaviour of state sponsored propaganda which will enable fruitful development of more genuine posts. for every genuine shill, you'll filter out dozens of genuine anons who are casting their bait into this ocean of piss. if you are a regular you don't need an automated filter or a spreadsheet to tell you about the latest astroturfed rubbish, so we're back to square one. in this day and age, i genuinely don't see any benefit in making data of an (ostensibly) anonymous imageboard freely accessible -- but i don't run a databroker or advertisment agency, nor do i make a living fueling the replication crisis or counseling the next generation of glowniggers and shills how to navigate the chans.
