I'd rather that entire section be trashcanned to be honest, but that whole board is just a symptom of signature campaigns forcing users to make posts in the Gambling section so they just create every possible topic they can possibly think of. At the very least non-bitcoin related threads such as that one you mentioned shouldn't be permitted.
Hmmm... Not the reaction I was looking for. Lol. But for now, can we at least segregate the 'Is gambling a sin' threads from the sports betting threads?
And maybe it's better to lock sports threads at the end of each season, and start new ones at the start of the new season?
It seems you just want threads you personally don't like to go but are perfectly fine with the spammy sports threads being there even though talking about sports clearly falls under this:
I mean they're clearly not gambling discussion threads. They're just off topic threads imho.
The irony here is those threads are more related to gambling than discussing about the Premier League etc.

This is the real problem IMO. Campaigns with a required number of posts in the gambling section. IMO it's impossible to make something like 15 posts a week in gambling without spamming and adding your own pile of steaming crap to megathreads that are already full of it. If you delete the spam threads people will start making new ones, because otherwise they won't be able to reach their campaign limit.
If it doesn't involve bitcoin it shouldn't be there in my opinion. We don't talk about ebay and Amazon in service discussion so sports shouldn't belong in Gambling either. They should be in off topic if anything and they originally were but guess what? Most campaigns don't usually pay anything for off topic posts so people started spamming the gambling board when campaigns started making it a requirement to have x amount of posts in there.
