After all, those threads are for discussions and beginning a discussion without including one's own opinion is rather senseless, isn't it? What's more, threads like that give almost zero grounds for a proper discussion. There's zero effort in creating these threads, they're borderline spam in my opinion.

It reminds me of/You could compare it to the times when people instantly created the episode threads without adding content.

I dislike when a user puts little to no effort into a versus discussion, but i would rather encourage users to make it more insightful than prohibit it altogether.

And as someone who recently started not stating my own opinion when i create a thread, i do so, so the discussion is focused around the topic rather than my opinion, unless i want every 3rd user in my thread replying about how they disagree with my comment.
