The Sad State of /a/ and 4chan: A Plead To Hiro

Hiro, for quite a long time already we are at a massive impasse. Ever since the first years of the site, people from boards such as /a/ have been invading this site and tried to make it their own little playground. They believe 4chan is nothing more than a shitposting site where they can derail topics, spam useless shit, and bring down the quality of the boards. The biggest shitposters all came from /a/, like Ruggarell, Cebruz etc. Its gotten so bad now that majority of the boards are being nonstop shitposted at any given time.
I know that the decision of dealing with the likes of /a/ isn't quite easiest to make, however it's necessary in order to maintain a healthy climate of the site. Hiro it is impossible now to talk to /a/ at this point. I know you want their opinion but it can't be done because of all the shitposting. Its best that you stay off /a/ and discuss it with the rest of the site, where we still have sane voices.
Many of us on 4chan have been thinking of ideas on how to fix not only /a/, but 4chan up. The ideas for 4chan and /a/ include the following:
>Auto-Ban anyone using/posting images from anime and manga. However they can stay on one their own boards and nowhere else.
>Don't be afraid of IP range bans. Most of the shitposters have dynamic IP so whenever they get banned, they just delete their cookies, reset router and continue shitposting.
>Encourage people to report shitposting threads.
>Start hiring more mods. Have them crack down on major shitposting on all boards. There is nothing more disheartening than seeing a shitposting thread you've reported 2 hours ago still up.
>Add a furry board. Keep it 2D only and permaban anyone posting real bestiality.
We need help Hiro, more than ever at this point. If you can hop into this thread or any other and talk to us on solutions, that would be the best thing to ever happen to us in a long time.
Now that you have this site, its time to clean it up and make it flourish again
