Well in that case, I think the freedom allowed here in such ways is the only real thing that makes this place what it is.
Sure, this subforum has the highest concentration of utter shit on this website. But it also has the only quality posts too.
It's kinda difficult to come up with ideas for a place that isn't supposed to have rules, but I'll give it a shot.
Circlejerking is fun but it has its limits. I'd propose a policy along the manner of "Spam/Fanclubs/Other circlejerking is given X amount of time to attract Y amount of attention. If it does not do so, it gets deleted/locked. Multiple circlejerk topics created by the same person will be locked/removed without a grace period"
In theory this is supposed to encourage more quality circlejerking and cut down on the amount of spam since most of the time the locked threads that clutter the board come from a single person going on a spree. If the circlejerk is unsuccessful then it gets removed, preventing the sort of necroposting stuff, while allowing actual entertaining stuff that blows up (eg stefan thread) to continue. I'd say this because I've noticed sometimes a singleperson will necro multiple old circlejerk threads at once, which again creates the whole "wall of locked threads" and shittly floods of bullshit and such.
Uninteresting/funny stuff can stay as you've suggested. I don't see a need to change any of those. ITT will stay ITT.
...yeah, it is pretty difficult to come up with changes to this. Sure, the whole place will go to hell when osu!next and the awful new website comes in anyway.
