Gawker constantly ruins video game discussion with their bullshit and deserves to be laughed at.

I'm with you, OP, it's on /pol/ and /news/ too and they are even talking about it in the /qa/ happening thread. They should go celebrate on 8gag.

Gawker is or perhaps was the parent of the biggest video games blog in the world, and clearly one of the biggest video game websites in the world. And it's definitely the story of the day on NeoGaf and with industry insiders.
I think it would be a mistake to burn all the mod team effort, and risk the Streisand effect trying to shut it down too hard. Most importantly, it's not just one or two anons spamming shit everywhere. It's a significant part of the population.

Do you always go this quickly from zero to full rageahol? You're becoming incoherent.
But anyways, I'm just making the point that it is less effort to do things like:
> let the hot story of the day burn itself out for a news cycle,
> isolate to one thread,
>and to issue warnings about where video game politics threads should go,
than to lead off with maximum banhammer, which is more likely to lead to meta bitching about mods, bunches of new threads created, ect, ect.
One dedicated, emotionally invested user can fling a great deal of crap.
Mods of course can do whatever the hell they want. It's their time and effort. And they have a better view of the uniques in the threads and other shit like that.
