Why is it acceptable to shitpost in certain threads? Having a decent Metroid / FNAF / Moba / Dark Souls thread is pretty much impossible, people who have never played these games come in the threads and shit them up. This happens constantly and it's getting as bad as it was on 4chan.

Because you respond to them instead of filtering the ID and going about your business. The kneejerk reaction of on-topic posters directly contributes to the ruin of the thread.

It's acceptable to shitpost in any thread, some just handle it better than others.

In fact here's 3 of the four games you said are impossible to discuss on /v/ in /svidya/

>>>/svidya/622

>>>/svidya/722

>>>/svidya/8599

svidya bans anyone who doesn't hold the same opinion as the admins, though (such as whether or not a game is good). As such, it's most definitely not a good board for discussion unless you're looking for 4/vg/-tier threads (which is alright if that's what you want, I myself prefer being able to talk to both sides).

Except that's entirely untrue.

/v/ is not a melting pot. Some shit is simply not welcome (see: MOBA) and this is for the best.

Enacting a rule on "shitposting" is worrying because moderators can basically delete shit that they don't like, as seen on 4chan.

It also happens on every Gamergate general thread.

>first 100 or more posts are always spam, memes, shitposting, wasting space
>actual fucking discussion pertinent to the topic is allowed to happen for a while
>gayyyyteam returns later on to either spam the thread past the bumplimit or to the deletion point
>shit doesn't fly in any other general, just the one some twitter fags have a problem with

>Metroid
>Dark Souls
There have been successful threads before on this /v/, people started replying to shitposters again for some reason

>FNAF
>MOBA
Why the hell would you want to talk about these anyway
