>>64064593The thread's rules is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.
To obey the thread's rules is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To post on topic oshis is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire yabs in which an anon is not able to post their on topic chuuba. Simultaneously, it is not against 4chan's rules to. Therefore the thread's rules presents itself as the apex example of whether an anon will do what is right without being forced to do it. No janny will ban you for posting off topic chuubas, no one will report you or kill you for posting off topic chuubas, you gain nothing by posting your on topic oshi. You must post on topic chuubas out of the goodness of your own heart. You must post on topic oshis because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.
A person who is unable to do this is no better than a schizo, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a ban and the force that stands behind it.
The thread's rules is what determines whether a person is a good or bad poster.
