Whereas it may be fun in the moment, over time it starts to gets boring. The reason it starts to get boring after a while is because there starts to become to much of it. And this forum is currently in a bad position as there is already what I would consider too much shitposting going on.
Shitposting is like a virus; it needs to be contained and controlled. Viruses change overtime: they mutates and evolve for their survival. Which is why new vaccines and medicines have to be developed, or in this instance, stricter rules are put in place and more warnings are given out.
Shitposting isn't a constant. It inevitably increases. You see the whole point of shitposting is that it's funny. But the more shitposting there is, the less funny it is. Which is why
Off-Topic is meant to be for discussions related to things outside of the blackpill and looksmaxxing. The average post should be a genuine discussion about something off-topic with a shitpost thread here and there. But instead nearly every other post is another low-quality shitpost. And nearly every other reply to these threads are shitposts.
There's been times where I've thought about making a certain thread but then chosen to not waste my time doing so knowing that the first 5 replies will likely be some unfunny 'dnr lol' videos. I'm sure many others can relate.
Overall the main problem with shitposting is that when there is too much of it, people start to get bored of it. And it is especially bad when a group of people reply with low effort shitposts to a thread where the op is trying to create a genuine discussion or have a question answered. I'd say right now the shitposting is at its limit. If we go any further, which it inevitably will at some point, the affects will be detrimental.
So I think that right now, we need to flatten the curve and give out more frequent warnings to low effort shitposts.
