2) Shitposters from various 3rd world countries.

I'd love to see an instant automated ban for anyone who posts "I'm agree"^*. It's a very easy way to filter many (Indonesian) shitposters.

Better masters of English could easily avoid that by switching to "I concur", which is my favorite. However, those shitposters aren't smart enough for that.

the forum is degenerating and is worse than most mainstream news outlets and their comment sections

All of this comes down to the very lucrative business of posting here. In a way I'm guilty too: my current signature is the most lucrative one I've ever had. But at least I try not to post crap.

At this point I don't even mind people who are posting to get paid given that: a) They have one account. b) They really put effort in their posts and this effort can be seen.[1]

[1] There are outright baboons that claim they put a lot of effort and end up producing posts that are 2-3 lines long most of the time. Some posts that I've personally put effort in, back in some hefty block size debates, have taken me 30-60 minutes to write and have contained over 500 words.
OP is another example of someone just spreading BS around here. I was hoping he'd have some standard AD in his signature as then his intentions would be obvious.

Don't be naive, all of us here to earn money. The forum won't be so successful if comments would not be paid. I bet you are here for the same reason, but not only cause of you love to argue and prove your truth. Yes your English is great, but it's not your native, so don't think that those people who speak English not so well are fools and don't deserve to be on the forum.
Those things that really should be done on the forum are:
1. Banning of short posters.
2. Allowing to start a new topic only after reaching a rank of Member.
3. Removing non active accounts (like few months without any activity).
4. Too old threads deleting (BTW it is happening this days on the forum, so something good has finely done to make this forum more healthy).
