'''Incels.co''' (previously | '''Incels.co''' (previously '''incels.is''' and before that '''incels.me''') is currently the largest incel forum in the english [[incelosphere]]. It was created by [[SergeantIncel]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, hours after the banning of /r/incels. Its status as an independent website offers its community flexibility and allows free speech in a way that would likely be censored on other forums, due to their politically correct speech. It encourages its users to follow the [[blackpill]] philosophy. | ||
The user-generated forum content is publicly viewable on an easily accessible and Google-indexed [[clearnet]] address and discussion of illegal activities is against site rules.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref> It uses [[Xenforo]] forum software | The user-generated forum content is publicly viewable on an easily accessible and Google-indexed [[clearnet]] address and discussion of illegal activities is against site rules.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref> It uses [[Xenforo]] forum software | ||
==Style== | ==Style== | ||
The style of posting on incels.co resembles 4chan, as it is a third iteration of [[4chan|4chan's]] [[r9k]] board, with the banned /r/incels being the second iteration. Its style of posting is impersonal, fast, jokey, and at times sociopathic, again like 4chan. A year or so after it's founding however, the admin implemented a rule where low effort posts are disallowed. incels.co has been known for its [[incels.co megathread|incels.co megathreads]] and [[cold approach]] diaries. | The style of posting on incels.co resembles 4chan, as it is a third iteration of [[4chan|4chan's]] [[r9k]] board, with the banned /r/incels being the second iteration.

On Feburary 22nd, 2018, a user by the name of Chewbacca posted a ban request in the Inceldom discussion thread. In it, Chewbacca stated that she was female this whole time and got away with posting. Her picture, which was shown, fooled many people into thinking she was an ugly man. However, it is possible that a male user, in an attempt to gain attention or self-humor, has lied about being a female user pretending to be a male. | On Feburary 22nd, 2018, a user by the name of Chewbacca posted a ban request in the Inceldom discussion thread.

===Ban Appeals=== | ===Ban Appeals=== | ||
The Ban Appeal section of the site is enjoyed by many users as a source of drama or curious encounters between recently banned users and moderators. The mod who issued the last warning which [[triggered]] a permanent ban is the one who has the call on whether to give a second chance to the user in question or not. There is a megathread in the Meta section where regular users can discuss the ban of others. | The Ban Appeal section of the site is enjoyed by many users as a source of drama or curious encounters between recently banned users and moderators.

===LARPgate=== | ===LARPgate=== | ||
On June 14th, 2018, user Heightframeface exposed another user, [[Whogivesafucc]], as a [[larper]]. User whogivesafucc stated he had "gay(once) and straight sex" at the age of 12-13, and had lost his virginity at 14. Many people became angry at this fact and started to complain and raise their suspicion on other Novembercels, as well as other incels. Later in the thread, another user, Blackletcel, was also exposed as a 5'10.5 light complexed, dyed blond hair Tyrone(or [[chad]] of African heritage) who was on a dry streak for 2 years. Before his dry streak, he recalls having a "foid on my[his] dick"(English: woman perform oral sex on him). He also stated he was a volcel because of his rejection of dark skinned african women. | On June 14th, 2018, user Heightframeface exposed another user, [[Whogivesafucc]], as a [[larper]].

After the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack in Toronto, mainstream media went on a massive media campaign against [[incelosphere|incel forums]] consisting of thousands of articles and multiple TV show episodes, specifically against incels.co, despite the fact that [[Alek Minassian]] only referenced [[4chan]]. | After the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack in Toronto, mainstream media went on a massive media campaign against [[incelosphere|incel forums]] consisting of thousands of articles and multiple TV show episodes, specifically against incels.co, despite the fact that [[Alek Minassian]] only referenced [[4chan]]. | ||

On October 19th, 2018, a permanent change was made from the domain incels.me to incels.is. Afilias (which owns .me) dropped the domain due to abuse report raiding from [[inceltears]] and elsewhere. The admins stated they had done everything asked of them from Afilias and felt it was unjust they were dropped despite their compliance. | On October 19th, 2018, a permanent change was made from the domain incels.me to incels.is.
