You go to a club for watching classic movies and somewhere along the line, you start discussing PS4 games with one of the club members.

Suddenly the snotty club president storms over and immediately demands you leave because you started talking about something that isn't within the club's scope.

It is more important to use your anonymity to upset other people than it is to do anything productive.

Social pressure does that in most places. You might just be immune to it.

If it was enforced like on Gamefaqs, it wouldn't be enforced at all. Keep in mind that you're literally on the site's "What Poll of the Day?" board.

PotD is a weird exception, in that it grew into a social board independent of the poll. On most non-social boards, topicality is enforced.

Indeed. Walk into a conversation where everybody's talking about skateboarding and try talking about knitting, and you'll pretty immediately be shut down by the fact that nobody engages with you. It's not a formal rule and there's no external enforcement, but it's generally pretty difficult to go anywhere talking about something that nobody around you wants to talk about.
