Shitposts are a regular part of being on Bitcointalk though. It is the price we pay for having a forum where we can talk about practically anything and everything. For example, Reddit has shitposts on it all the time. It only becomes a problem when you don't have a mechanism for filtering the shitposts from the high quality, superior vocabulary and ingenious intellect posts like mine, self moderated threads are an example of such a mechanism.
And for that same reason, that little thingy called "Report to moderator" exists; to "filter" shiposts from quality posts
