History & Motivation
The kitan project is a fork of
indexmania.org (archive),
a project focused on searching the web using tags, and to index information by the users. Now instead of
websites, we index anime images instead.
Yes, this is a
booru, even though it wasn't supposed to copy the idea.
The goal is to achieve democratic moderation by the users, letting the users decide what is OK and what is not OK while staying within the guidelines.
Every user has a set of energy (rate limiting) and karma (vote score) that can be used to moderate the content.
If a user decides to add a tag, a rating or an age group to a post that you disagree with, you can change or downvote this contribution.
The goal is for the website to run itself by the users using it. This is a rather complicated task to achieve.
This is a passion hobby project.
Searching
