Why the name Darkchan
Because the majority of users and posts are in the dark (invisible).
What is a post?
A post is a message and a couple files contained within a thread
Can I post anything?
No, you can post almost anything. Please check our rules
How do I report a post that does not follow the rules?
Click report at the top right corner of a thread, or message a moderator/admin
How many reports does it take before a thread is removed
5 seperate reports are required before the thread is automatically removed
What tools does Darkchan use to cut down on illegal content?
Darkchan maintains a list of keywords which posts are checked against to cut down on posts which go against our rules, as well as relying on the community to report illegal content and a small handful of moderators.
What is the red bat named?
The red bat seen around the site is known as clem, short for Clemence. Bats have a superior ability to go undetected,which we feel describes darkchan rather well.
I have sensitive information, should I post it here?
No. Never post any sensitive information online unless you want it to get out. With that said, sharing information anonymously is difficult. Emails and most sites keep logs, so information can be traced back to you. Darkchan does not keep any logs.
Do you profit off of the site?
We are experimenting with some ads to cover our operating cost, but we have no interest in turning Darkchan into a buisness.
How many moderators are there?
Darkchan\'s community is user moderated.
How long has Darkchan been around?
