This includes waifu posting, x is a shit, fuck your show, etc. All manner of shitposting really, so much so it'll usually drown out the more quality posts when nothing new has been on because other posters tend to join in on the action.
The mods, rather than have to wade through a mountain of shitty posts and hand out bans that don't stick, just outright ban the generals. It's not fool proof, but it gives them a break and much less work to do. I'm sure there's a bit of bias in there too, but I'm certain the other stuff is more prevalent.
If you want the generals to come back, talk about the lore more, shitpost less, and create some content. Pretty much what I do every time there's a general.
