But evidently neither the posters nor the moderators have any control over anything that's posted here.

Poster's have two options, self-censoring and attempting to influence others to self-censor. In order to self censor, the poster must believe going off topic is bad and mindless banter should be eschewed. Apparently that sentiment is not exactly universal. As for exerting influence, how is that going?

Those are the ones that need the strongest moderation.

I've been on other boards where the moderators (I believe you may know one of them?) do a great job of keeping everything on topic. I especially value the volleyball board as it has a much more active base of posters than here and is very informative.

It's also. rather. dull. And don't even get me started on the basketball bored board there. Even the dustups and cat fights are dull. I think that's why so many more of us hang out here. We like it here. And we kinda like it the way it is. Mostly.
