Because setting an arbitrary standard for the quality of a forum post and then trying to apply that to every thread made on a website, is idiotic.I don't have an issue with getting rid of the clearly shit ones, but shitposts are subjective.
Get fucking wrecked, sperglords

Serious answer, and I know I might be guilty of this one. If a post isn't an attempt at being funny, or doenst have discussion value it should be locked. The OP can make an appeal for it to be unlocked if hey can prove it has discussion value or explain why it's funny
Threads with no discussion value should be banable

Due to the way you've gone about serious criteria, I feel that a lot of people who post something and want a genuine discussion will probably get their stuff buried under shitposts or just get 'K.' for answers or something, if I user my own examples, it's like when I post my writing stuff and it just goes onto the second page in about ten minutes becase of spam. I guess having a semi-serious board would be cool, where proper discussion can go but the flood stays as it's shit[pos]ty self. Or if anarchy were permanent, then have the flood as that genuine discussion board and have anarchy as the spam shit board like it is now.

The shitposting. Threads with no discussion value should just be deleted. You mods don't need to be so lenient.
