Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tinychan?

Tinychan is a web-based BBS (bulletin board system) designed for mobile devices. It is designed to offer as much free speech as possible, while staying within the limits of US law. We do not tolerate illegal material/links to illegal material, so please refrain from posting it.

What rules are in-effect?

You can read all rules here: /rules.

What is a tripcode? How can I use one?

A tripcode is a way of identifying oneself on Tinychan. Simply place a octothorpe (#) after your name to create a tripcode.

Inputuser #tripcode
Outputuser !3GqYIJ3Obs

Who are the admins?

The administrators here are savetheinternet and Frank Usrs.

Who are the mods?

Our current mods are FuckAlms, cccuuunnttt, Nega/Fuchs, Krodan, Nickalollyoff, and phallus99. Why not apply for modship? Send a PM to an admin! Closed for now. When we need more mods, we'll let you know!

What happens if I cannot access Tinychan?

In the unlikely event that Tinychan goes down, then you can look at our status page for information on when Tinychan will be back.

Can I request SFW treatment to threads I make?

Yes, you can have SFW treatment on threads you make. Just start your thread title with "SFW", for example, "SFW general discussion about high school memories". Mods will do their utmost to ensure that any comments or replies with NSFW content are removed from the thread.

Is this an "illegal clone"?

NO! Why do some moro...people seem to think that? Tinychan was created in 2008, before the illegal Swedish board. WHOIS can't lie. Look it up if you don't believe me.

How accurate is the "folks" page?

Quite accurate. We filter out crawler bots and attempt to block as many fake bots as possible.

My topic was deleted! What do I do?

If you feel your topic was unfairly deleted, send a message to the admin. Any topics you make about your deleted topic will be deleted and may result in a warning/ban.

I was banned!

If your ban reason was not specified, please send an email to the admin. If you were ionised, please know that ionisations are not done unless you have been spamming or your posts were spammy. IONISATIONS CAN BE AUTOMATIC, PLEASE DO NOT BLAME THE ADMINISTRATION OR MODERATORS FOR THEM.

Please appeal your previous ban instead of creating a new ID, as this will be viewed as ban evasion.

What can cause me to be automatically ionised?

Not much. You don't have to worry about this unless you're a real spambot (which you probably aren't).

Who can ban posters?

Any admin or mod.

Why do I need to enter a CAPTCHA for my first post?

We used to have a huge problem with spambots. This stops them from being able to spam our site. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, but the CAPTCHA is only needed for your first post.
