Jéské Couriano ( v^_^v) 20:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the clarification. Besides, administrators are going to be camping here all the day it's featured.

Wikipedia is not censored for minors, mores, or twats. This is a serious issue, I believe: Wikipedia should not promote such a website. It seems that /b/ is planning both to "invade" Wikipedia and spam 4chan boards with gore (extremely shocking) pictures. I think you may want to take it up to AN/I while there's still time, Raul. Raul654 ( talk) 07:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC) It is a good idea indeed, I watched closely this /b/ thread and even if there won't be any coordinated attack (/b/ is chaos as a concept), we will see this article edited unproperly or flooded with. In fact, it might be worth increasing it from semi to full protection.

The first reference to the term comes from a post from the video games general board on March 17th, 2014.Just a note - given this, this article should absolutely not be unprotected while it's on the main page. The phrase also became associated with the microwaveable turnovers brand Hot Pockets, implying that janitors eat unhealthy food or are overweight. When threads related to the GamerGate controversy were removed by 4chan moderators en masse in September, the phrase saw a significant resurgence on the site by those complaining about the restrictions, often accompanied by pictures of the janitor character John Morris from the television series Arthur. On March 12th, a green text post was submitted to the /sp/ board mocking a moderator for being obese and doing his job "for free." On May 4th, YouTuber forfree posted several videos directed at /sp/ moderators, including a video titled "Hey there /sp/ mod" featuring a parody of the 2006 rock song " Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's (shown below). Within the first nine months, the video gained over 110,000 views and 290 comments. On January 28th, 2014, YouTuber spee outlaw posted a video featuring testimonial spokesman Gordon Hurd reading a script about the 4chan janitor (shown below). The earliest known use of the phrase in reference to 4chan moderators was posted to the site's /sp/ (sports) board on September 28th, 2013, which mocked site mods for spending their weekends on 4chan "for free."
