This is a real simple game that's gaining traction everywhere on the intertubes[1]. The rules are simple:
1. Don't shitpost.
2. If you make a shitty post, you lose.
3. If you accuse someone's post of being shitty by writing a shitty post, you also lose.
4. No swearing.
So obviously the quality of posts is mostly subjective. It may take a while to come to a consensus on whether or not a post is shitty; that's fine, since meta-discussion seems like the only thing we can all get behind.
The penalty for losing is that everyone knows you're a shitposter. You can rejoin the game if you stop doing that, I guess. Kicking people out of the thread would rapidly turn it into a circlejerk, or at least a boring-ass conversation between three people.
Starter topic: Will Hollywood ever be capable of innovation again, or is it doomed to stagnate on sequels and spin-offs until the whole industry shifts focus? I find it really hard to be interested in films when my choices are Superhero Reboot 5 or some fuckin indie documentary filmed on an iPad.
P.S. You don't win the entire thread by saying this is a shitpost, nice try though.
