Yes. I'd even say the only rules that truly matter are rules 1 and 10 (no illegal stuff and no spamming). You could remove all the other rules and the site would be 90% the same, maybe even better. There's been only a few times where I was glad mods were around, but way more times where I was angry mods deleted a perfectly good thread just because it was "off topic". Meanwhile 5ch has no topicality rules and it works great.

And if you give rulesfags everything they ask for, you get a site like Futaba. A boring, dying site where people barely even make jokes or have a sense of humor, and no one writes dissenting opinions because they'll get DEL spammed until their post is gone.

You wanna hear my solution for 4chan? Split boards like /v/ or /tv/ into two, and you govern one of them like 5ch, and the other like Futaba. All jannies will be moved to the Futaba-style version with stricter moderation than usual, while the 5ch versions will have no rules except global rules 1 and 10 (and maybe the doxxing rule, can't remember if it's required). Most people will use the 5ch-style version, while everyone who complains about board quality will move to the much more moderated futaba-style one. You give both sides what they want, both sides are happy.

People will say 4chan already tried this with red/blue boards. But the entire idea of that is retarded. When a guy makes a shitpost thread on /tv/, it's because he wants to discuss it with /tv/ users -- that's why he makes it there. I'm pretty much certain this would fix 4chan's moderation problems in one fell swoop, but of course I'm some rando, so who cares.
