To demonstrate that point let's consider an example where we have parties A and B. Party A likes to hold a high-quality mario quest thread every sunday before he heads to work at a soup kitchen, party B holds a bowser ERP thread twice every week and he ban evades like a motherfucker. A blanket no-quest thread effects both A and B, but since B already ban evades we're only really harming party A and forcing people who want A back in /v/ to side with B. The result is an overall unhappy userbase that by all accounts gives an undesirable party a clear advantage. If instead party A is allowed to continue while party B is persecuted strictly for being ERP it keeps these groups divided and minimizes the number of people annoyed at the moderation, which I think should be an important goal of moderating /v/.
TL;DR We should divide and conquer. People who make good quest threads appropriately related to the board topic should be left alone, and people who go out of their way to create any type of thread that is not appropriate for the board should have their kebab removed from the premises.
