Can we summon the Mongolian moot?
It appears that every time janitors are hired, not a single improvement to /v/ is made.
The clusterfuck of shitpost threads/ /tv/ threads that are made on /v/ is ridiculous and clearly shows how unmoderated the board actually is.
Also, why is there no sticky that at least enforces some board rules to a degree?
Sometimes, when I report a bad thread, it'll get deleted within a couple minutes. Other times, it'll reach over 500 posts. I think it has more to do with the internal-makeup of the mods/jannies who look after /v/. I don't expect them all to be great, but it really seems that they fall into only 1 of 2 camps: really good, or really bad.
I really appreciate the few good ones.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

"mods are asleep, post X" is a long-lasting meme for a reason. Sometimes there will many of them on at once, other times it's bare. Discretion is involved, but many times I think it's just a lack of manpower.
/v/ goes through thousands and thousands of posts an hour, and unfortunately there's a huge percentage of shitposts from anons that can just reset their router or otherwise ignore bans (like the entire continent of Australia)

It's mainly the shitpost threads that bother me.

Sadly it appears most of the time we see the really bad ones.
I rarely see good moderation on /v/ now.
Threads that are based on full vidya discussion end up getting deleted for no reason. Shitpost threads stay up for hours.
Up the manpower and give janitors the ability to ban users for more than 20minutes temporarily.
Purge /v/ for a few weeks with heavy handed bans and people will either go to the respective boards for shit they want to talk about or just leave for reddit/cripple chan. It's not as bad as when /pol/ and /r9k/ shut down but by god it's still fucking terrible.
