Most of the time the commenter, but sometimes a thread is beyond redemption and not worth the effort or the very nature of it makes it a non-starter.
In the case of the YLYL thread there's a case to be made that the pictures themselves and the fact they're in a thread dedicated to such pictures is objectification of women (and that was explored to some degree in the poll thread), personally that's why I ultimately supported removing the thread; the thread, pictures, context, etc as a whole are sexist IMO.

How can it be ineffectual since the intended effect of closing the thread isn't to address an issue? It doesn't sound like you read the OP. "However, we want to emphasize that this is not just about this thread... We think some broader changes/improvements are needed. " You have it backwards, we didn't remove the thread to address the issue, the issues mean new guidelines that the thread doesn't fit in.
Our "jobs"? When do we get paid?

Good thing we didn't expect it to.

Moderation is synonymous with censorship, we've been censoring things for over a decade. SURPRISE!
