I haven't come across that very much. However, places in
newsgoups and even 8chan and 4chan were rife with it.
From a technical standpoint, I liked the way 8chan operated.
It looked easy to set up your own "board" and manage users.
I just read that 8chan rebranded as 8kun, but it looks like
the whole operation is nolonger found.

Reediting them is a lot of work!

It would be easier just to twit them out. By censoring the
messages you are still rather enabling the problem from your
visitors.
