What the fuck happened?

This. The quality of this board has suffered so much from this.
Evan Martin
Deal with it. While it is very important that a board stays topical, and other forms of quality control are an invitation for selective interpretation of rules, mod abuse, and a good way to just generally kill fun and thus traffic.

The problem isn't shitposting, I don't mind that, it's spamming. Outright spam sits in the catalog or fills other threads for days on end before it gets anchored or deleted.
In addition to spam, there's also a lot of stuff that's simply too repetitive to deserve its own thread or be posted in other threads, and should instead be shunted into generals/containments.

I haven't seen spam here in ages.
I agree that maybe those shitposting threads should have been shunned to generals/containments but I think they are still just a small trade-off we pay for having a board free of rulecuckery and I like this hands off approach from the mods because I've noticed that whenever mods start to interfere they always lose control and end up in a state where they will delete and ban anything they don't like killing what might have been genuine discussion, fun and the likes effectively killing the board with it.

As it is? Never. The question of quality on imageboards is heavily tied to the quality of moderation, and that actually can be neither too strict or arbitrary nor too lax and leaving the board to self-moderation. Saying that strict rulefag mods are shit does not really require further elaboration, but "lax moderation" is not a good solution either. Self-moderation only works in case of community with a small share of newcomers, where the peer pressure is indeed enough to rein in the newfriends, but if the numbers start significantly rising, the entire board goes to shit with blessing of retarded and apathetic mods, as seen on countless 4chan boards roughly a decade ago. The only effective solution would be mods attempting to maintain the greatest possible link with the anons(for example through tl;dr meta discussions) and enforcing the "unofficial" unwritten rules in order to maintain the continuity in board quality and culture, as well as to limit the spread of cancer.

What a bunch of bullshit.
"Cancer" is subjective and usually boils down to "whatever I don't like".
Liam Adams
So would be saying that eg. "[board] is shit now because of awful moderation", and yet we're capable of developing consensus on such issues and even explain what went wrong.
