They have to have rules and they have to be moderated, that's how all successful forums operated. If you and I both have theories and opinions on chapter 780 why should there be two separate threads? Even if our opinions are different its still the same topic. Likewise, there's no need to have 37 different topics on shipping when one thread would be far more organised. It's not about restricting the discussions people have so much as containing them to key areas. Most systems flourish best under some restrictions. As this thread is demonstrating, too many replies start to cause it to become a little laggy.

I am not saying that there should be a free-for-all, but Omnibender's idea is redundant: "mega-threads" are not easier to use and become very inefficient to moderate. If you had a theory about a chapter, you'd just post it in the existing thread. What Omni is suggesting is one thread and that is all you use: not gonna work and you'll find people will simply not pay any attention to such a rule and will create a thread anyway. Plus, it's actually much easier to create a new thread, rather than trying to search through tons of threads and make a reply, especially if a thread has many replies, like this one.

Shipping topics won't be allowed though anyway, so not really sure why you mentioned them. All I'm saying is that Omni's suggestion just won't work and isn't viable.
