For as much as everyone talks about how people "choose to make threads what they are," the truth is that no one here has any impact on how good a thread is or isn't, or what it's culture is, compared to the only people who have power, the executive class.
We exist at the whims of meidos. Our "culture," however we wish to define it, only exists by virtue of what meidos allow to exist and what they disallow, or more accurately, what they choose to focus their efforts on, at the expense of what they choose to ignore.
The average anon, or even a hundred average anons, who only want a halfway decent place to talk about their hobby, have as much collective power to influence a thread as Hollywood had when they tried to end the Vietnam war. They can create good arguments, discussions, backgrounders and OC galore, but it has all the effect of a light breeze compared to the decisions of executive control.
Shitposters exist only because meidos allow them to exist. The entire thread could pose a united front against them for the next year, and all the good that would do is teach them how to be even more self-sustaining in their shitposting when deprived of replies if the meidos didn't join in.
