>>247046781. People on this board don't know how to deal with obvious bait and shitposts
2. Because there no news to talk about, this allows shitposts to flow more freely
3. People are constantly criticizing what ORAS and XY did wrong and label people who try to praise what those games actually did right as shills. This brings down the mood of the board in general because the people who want to talk about the recent games can't, unless they're talking about them in a negative light.
4. Genning and injecting brought an influx of outsiders looking for handouts. Most of them ended up staying and shit up the board.
5. The idea of Showderp practically invited [s4s] to come over and shit up the board
6. Furries and sexually frustrated anons are pretty self-explanatory.
7. Moderation here is a joke. Things like 4chan Cup threads or meta board threads will be deleted relatively as soon as they're posted, but porn will stay up for hours and even a couple of days in a few cases
I'm sure there are a few things I'm forgetting, but these are just off the top of my head and purely just my two cents on the issue.
