What you say is correct, but the fact that a gamergate thread has been a special exception to the rules since this board's inception means that the copy-paste human spambots who are addicted to seeing power words in red text headlines will be allowed to continue indefinitely.
People who copy-pasted entire articles used to be told to fuck off, or outright ignored (the worst kind of poison for them). But when the Sweet Baby Inc stuff happened, it attracted the usual suspects and there is now a critical mass of schizos, subhumans, redditors, and phoneposters who all feed each other (you)s and give the impression of organic conversation.
I doubt much will change but it would good to have things out in the open.
