/r9k/ is mostly shit right now. The fastest threads are nearly all garbage (race bait, trap threads, gay ERP threads, etc.). Awful fast threads do not ruin a board as long as they do not prevent anything else from getting replies, but generally any threads that require effort or thought to reply to do pretty poorly.
Here are some basic solutions to this:
1) Bump threads you think are good. This is the most important thing to do. If you see a thread and think it's clever or it looks like some effort went into creating it, please bump it. If somebody posts lengthy greentext then, unless it's obvious garbage, bump the thread even if you don't read it. If you have nothing to say, that's fine, but as long as a thread you like is at page 7 or 8 you should try to get it to page 1. A slow thread does not stay slow forever, and each time a thread goes to page 1 it has a chance to gain momentum and enjoy post velocity for a little while. Do not give up on something because it seems dead, most of the catalog seems dead.
2) Do not flame bad threads. Trap threads do so well in large part because people flame them. Everybody who has browsed here for two weeks has heard somebody say that women cannot be robots, or that gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and almost everybody is familiar with the logic behind those statements. Stop participating in five year old flame wars that only shit up the board by keeping absolute garbage on the front page. Ignore or filter bad
3) Try using the catalog. It can be fun to see how threads have evolved, but you are much more likely to find decent OPs on /r9k/ using the catalog, because most things that stick to the first page are damn near awful.
Discuss and post suggestions for making /r9k/ better.

ayy nigger ayy
Finger on the trigger nigger ayy
Niggers eat yams
Along comes white man
Makes civilization
But nigger hates him
Distastes him
So nigger drives him away
And white man cant fight back
Because everybody in the west is gay
So nigger takes back his nation
With a happy nigger grin
And when his people starve to death
Whitey sends money to save him
But again and again he spends it
On trinkets and mansions and whores
His currency inflates
Along comes war after war
And then people die n shit
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

Almost certainly true
But if bump good threads becomes a mantra, at least a fifth of the board will be worth reading, even if the rest is nothing but porn

I agree with the sentiment presented in the OP, but do not consider this to be itself a good thread.

I didn't demand any sort of moderation. I would only prefer if the most common threads on /r9k/ were ones most people actually like, instead of ones spammed by a vocal minority of chronic masturbaters.
Agree with OP.
Don't forget to report posts that are shills (race mixing and trap threads in particular).

Go to /b/ you fucking retard. Racism is acceptable, this garbage isn't.

You have to prove that it's only a minority that likes them first.
