>>26965597>Though I do think that if someone tries to start a normal discussion thread after a bait one is posted everyone will just assume it's bait too. But this will be worse if do it on the shitposter's thread, then half the people will believe you are the shitposter and will either ignore your discussions too or shitpost you too if they are trolling the OP.
I think you can't flat out avoid a subject being sullied when some tard already did it, like comparing consoles on /v/, people will already assume the worse. At most you can avoid threads with obvious copypastas or that the OP's is too obviously a bait, like when he uses that pic.
When the old archive was around you could find a fuckton of threads with that same pic, and they all sounded the same, or like OP started tame and became shitpost the following post.
I just don't think it's worse to "keep" them no matter what because this goes against the very concept of an image board: Everything here is meant to be temporary anyway, bump limits and all, unlike a forum that keeps the same thread with many pages for years.
