Containment threads - yay or nay?

should we keep the fatal disease of shit taste from spreading using containment threads?

Over the years, I've noticed that autists, spergs and even storyfags often prefer shit games to work their magic on. By their very nature, these creatures can't see that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts when it comes to RPG's like a monocled gentleman does, so they tend to pick games that are shit all things considered, and focus entirely on one or two aspects of it. Threads for these games often have prolific appearances by posters rarely seen outside their natural habitat.

This can of course be considered a blessing, as they are kept busy with whatever shit game just came out last friday, and they're less likely to shit up other threads. As such, I am very glad these games have active threads with lots of posts.

Examples of current containment threads:

- Diablo IV
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

The codex already does this, it's called the prosperium. It's so effective that quite a few shitposters just stop posting entirely when sentenced there.
