Maybe a role literally just against "shitposting"? Unfortunately, when I was previously a forum op (back when it was a thing), rules would be created but then largely unenforced (despite the best efforts of mods and admins at the time).

Given how Wikia is just going to delete these forums and move it all over to "Discussions" (which is even worse for moderation and shitposting), I don't see much point trying to come up with solutions as anything we do is probably going to be undone by the migration to Discussions in the near future anyway.

IMO, the best way to enforce rules is to actually... you know, do moderative actions on threads you believe to be against the rules. Quite often, these threads have been created after mods and admins have largely done nothing for a long period of time, the only way users are going to take the time to understand how to do things is by mods actually doing something.

I've actually noticed nearly all the mods on the wiki are inactive, maybe more mods need to be found to handle things and be trained up in how to deal with shitposting (but saying that, it doesn't feel like anyone stands out as trustworthy anyway).

Just my two cents which are probably not going to be noted, but oh well.
