True, however, new generation needs new generation leaders. Not the old ones who are dying in the back of the barn trying to keep up. Instead, the new ones who are healthy and willing to attack when needed. aka the fox

You'll sit in there and you'll like it, or I'm calling the roosters in!
I actually think that disabling the EoF for a good amount of time would be a good step. Though it would probably cause shitposting to leak into other threads, it would help at least to get the message across that shitposting is still shitposting whatever section is is and change the general attitude of people on Temp.IDEA! Disable the EoF for a day as punishment
See I got good ideas
I don't think it would. Just watch it like a hawk 24/7 You keep saying you wanna clean up the site but never do. I've personally taken a step forward and stopped my shitposting all together it's not worth it and I have also been trying to be friendlier / more helpful.
as long as i don't get the boot if it happens!
I don't think the issue is with how the mods do their job. Stuff is dealt with quickly enough, and if it isn't, it's because users aren't reporting it. I can't clean up the site because I'm not a mod; though I personally keep a high standard in general and refrain from shitposting, while also being enthusiastic in general about contributing (duh) to the Temp and making it a better place.See I got good ideas
1) Spread out the mods - Give them all assigned sub forums to guard
2) If they get bored have a rotation schedule
3) Profit from the clean forums.
Disabling the EoF would be the Internet equivalent of shutting off the septic tank valve - you're not going to have a cleaner installation, you'll just make shit spill all over the floor each time you flush.
To further make use of that analogy, GBAtemp's septic tank is filled to the brim yet people keep flushing and doing nothing about it. It's overflowing into the regular forums as it is, and you have people who come to the GBAtemp RV solely for the purpose of taking a shit. It overflows in the aspect that no one seems to want to do anything but shit and post nothing of value.
Post count is a big part of it too. Luckily the EOF doesn't count, however that could be taken as a negative as people are willing to post something shitty on a whim to make their e-peen bigger.
Post count is why the 3DS section is probably taking such a hit. People know it is a joke. Have you seen it when mods are not on
You need a plumber, son. If shit starts spilling outside of the tank, shoveling it won't help - you need to find the blockage. If it takes a rain of suspensions then so be it. I have nothing against young users and I've gotten my fair share of warnings when I shit-stirred, but I always knew that there was a certain community standard to adhere to and if I bent the rules too much, the rules would snap right back at me. Right now that community standard seems to be clouded by, as P1ng eloquently mentioned, standards of Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, which are fast and disposable media. A message board is not, transgressions on a lasting medium should have lasting consequences, it's a slower form of communication for the purpose of actual discussion. It takes more thought while posting, we need to promote that attitude while condemning posting cheap and disposable trash with no merit or even humorous value. There is a space for septic content and that space is the EoF.
So you are using the developers as a excuse on why these sub forums are completely mortifying to any new comer?
