No. We can't always have what we want, anon.
If the problem is "users create off-topic threads" and the proposed solution is "allow users to create off-topic threads in a ghetto" then that's not really a solution, that's just looking at the problem and deciding after further review that it's not actually a problem. Yeah, you can post politics on the vidya board as long as OP ticks a checkbox when making their thread and if it adheres to some arbitrary percentage-based limits.
I understand the motivation behind evaluating new approaches to resolving old long-standing problems, but this ain't it.
It would be nice to be able to request thread moves more easily than pinging a mod. If users want to have "community" posts then can have them on the off-topic boards. Move enough threads to /b/, and maybe the off-topic posters will just stay there and continue to shitpost about celeb drama and mansions and how jannies are fags. That's when it might stop being a problem. Then again, /qa/ was an attempt, but it did NOT go well.
We can't always have what we want and it sucks.
