Soped

Soped is a term used in the context of online communities and forums, particularly within the 4chan ecosystem. It refers to a user who is banned from a specific board or the entire website, often due to violations of the site's rules or guidelines. The term "soped" is derived from the phrase "IP banned," indicating that the user's IP address has been blocked, preventing them from accessing or posting on the restricted areas. In Hebrew, this term can be translated as חסום (kh'sum), which means "blocked" or "banned." In Japanese, the term is sometimes translated as ソープ (sōpu), although this is a phonetic approximation and not a direct translation. The concept of being "soped" is significant in online communities where anonymity and freedom of expression are highly valued, as it represents a severe consequence for rule violations and can impact a user's ability to participate in discussions.
