Back in 2009 I used to post in a Spanish subforum where any kind of trashposting was allowed (rules were a bit vague about this, but let's just say nothing could stop us from posting so much). We used to post this image accompanied by the following message: "looking for water tap gf". We did this over and over again for a couple of weeks, until a growing number of people started complaining about our shitty posts and created a thread addressing this issue.
The thread addressed that we (the shitposters) needed a psychological test before posting and that people who went overboard with their freedom should be nuked from existence. The shitposters retaliated saying that they were justhaving a shittrying to overcome boredom and that that was exactly what they liked doing with their freedom. It was clear that most of us couldn't care less about other people posting there and their "OT experience", we were just posting because of our own sake and because it was entertaining for us to do so. Yes, we were extremely selfish.
The mods and admins of the subforum eventually gave up on the rules and let anyone do what they want (which is disturbingly similar to what's going on in osu!'s OT right now). It would seem that people who wanted to have rational conversations were doomed, and shitposters were allowed to create stupid threads ad infinitum (which were WAY worse than what you see in osu!'s OT these days, I must say) and derail anything worthy of discussion. I don't really remember what became of the former group after that fateful day, but it's pretty safe to assume that they just left the subforum sourly. It wouldn't be until a few months later that things would be grim for shitposters, but by the time that happened most of the old people who weren't being retarded had already left.
So what conclusion can be drawn out of this? It's pretty simple, but I have this itchy feeling that most people are not going to like what I'm about to say. Unless you get triggered easily, do not open the box.
