There is this spreading mentality facilitated by inaction to stop places like /tv/ and /int/ from becoming what they have, that it's not just a choice to shitpost, but that it's literally all some people are here to do AND they think it is the only thing they should do here.

Every time you let faggots spew such edgy subversive garbage as "justification" for their acting permanently like 12 year olds, and no one calls them out as being useless shits and no one deletes or bans them for openly flaunting global rules as their very fucking ethos, you are actively decaying the site.

It wasn't always fucking like this. Newfags who only have a distorted, caricature-like interpretation of 4chan, who consider themselves redditors and twitter users who won't even entertain the thought of taking any discussion on this site seriously, are forcing in this "4chan is just for shitposting" mentality and see the utter inaction against their shitting up /int/ (which was a good board years back) as complicity.

Bans don't fix bad edgy traits, shaming does.

What you can do is remind these self-deluded wastes that globals exist and the silent majority of users finds those utter tools to not be funny or fun: They are just lame and disruptive cancer. Years back such cancer was generally on /b/ but now is just all over the site. /b/ didn't leak per se, but it now failing to contain this juvenile behavior makes it rain down onto parts of the site meant to actually have discussion by people who care about the topics.

If people don't want to participate in boards and just shitpost, remind them they are the biggest losers of all for spending time on a place they don't even like.

Users, mods, fucking grow balls and stand up to this "4chan is just for shitposting lel" cancer. That was not a common phrase even a year ago and now I hear it every day. Letting people say it unchallenged makes them think they're right. They are the odd ones out for not caring about even trying to use the site.

It existed in subtler forms years back like "/v/ does not like video games" etc, but now is just this lazy one-size-fits-all excuse to justify being here only to shitpost.

It is not the same as the trolling of 8-10+ years ago; that actually takes effort and skill to convince people they are having a genuine, serious heated argument. Coming into random threads dropping template near-copypasted flamebaits in the general direction of anyone you think is most likely to reply is not the same thing.

Starting threads never intended to have a reasonable discussion and only because more people will see those same template shitposts from the catalog, only now without even needing to find a conversation to insert it into, is not the same thing. Mods letting intentionally shit threads just exist no matter what says to these people, "it's fine for you to not bother trying to read or talk to anyone, you can just say your choicest baits standalone without participating and then pat yourself on the back".

If mods think this condoning of sociopathic behavior is fine for boards they don't like and that it won't spread around to the boards they do like (if it hasn't already), they will be in for a rude awakening eventually. No matter how secluded and isolated you think your board is, these cultivated shitposters will eventually discover it and shit it up after they get bored of having clearly overtaken those other boards and they're just shitposting aimlessly at each other (the new, much lazier and effortless version of trolls trolling trolls).

"4chan is just for shitposting" and "board/topic was always shit anyway" should be autobans for a long time. Why would you ever want a user that even spouts this ironically to have on your site?
