New page

This page collects terminology and frequently asked questions for [[2swagg]], drawn from the site's own FAQ as of 31 August 2026. General imageboard terms are included for readers new to the format.

== Accounts ==
2swagg has '''no account system for ordinary use'''. The site's FAQ puts it: "Imageboards dont have account systems ... unless you have a 2swagg pass account, or you're a janny." In other words, the only credentialed users are paid [[2swagg Pass]] holders and staff. Everyone else posts anonymously.

== Tripcodes ==
A '''tripcode''' is a way to prove you are the same anonymous poster across posts, without an account. You type your name followed by a password in the form <code>Name#password</code>; the site turns the password into a short code shown after your name.

* A single-<code>#</code> '''tripcode''' uses the classic algorithm that is shared across most imageboards.
* A double-<code>##</code> '''secure tripcode''' is specific to 2swagg — the same password produces a different code here than on another site.

Using a name or tripcode at all is optional and, per [[Site culture|site culture]], often mocked ("namefag", "tripfag").

== Post and thread terms ==
