Why is /prog/ so shit?

This board is shit. It's like /g/ without desktop threads but worse. There are no serious threads or threads about programming worth reading. The worst part is that it's filled with spam all the time.

1) Was it always like this?
2) Are you satisfied with it?
3) Are mods satisfied with it?
4) Are there any mods?

/prog/ is based on the honor system. A faggot named ``tray'' started the spam about a week ago. If /prog/ had even one single mod they could ban that fucker and delete the spam. But /prog/ doesn't have any mods, so we'll have to wait until he gets tired of it.
