Until someone decides it's enough and makes a board elsewhere paired with a browser extension that takes the X URL and creates a thread where people can comment disregarding completely the one at X. The same can be made for Youtube for example; want dubbing in a different language, or play a different music that would trigger a copyright claim? All it needs is to sync the video with an external audio source, possibly shared through p2p; also doable by a browser extension.
