>>2432169This is another issue that is solved through moderating the general, not necessarily deleting it. If by any chance the general dies after taking care of all the shitposters, then that's how it was meant to be.
Them problem is you think most generalfags want to interact with the rest of the board in the first place. They don't. That's why they bring in garbage from other sites when they do. The true answer is to perma ban these faggots, not let them roam through the rest of /a/.
The only generals I'm familiar with were buyfag and /pc/, and neither had bigger shitposting problems than the homothread. /pc/ is kinda dead but it's not an issue, the posters there don't damage the board. Same for buyfag. It's not the general itself that is a problem, but the community in it. It can be tumblrtard crossboarders or simply people who want a place to discuss their niche interest but are too big to contain it into weekly threads like us.
