We actually have rules on quality of OP and content; most NX threads fall far short of these. I can understand perfectly well why mods want to crack down on the amount of them, most of them are not good and as such aren't providing the site with the content they most want.
They do the same for other topics as well, I know since I've been a mod and have had to lock a bunch of threads and admonish the community to gather topics into one, larger thread with actual traffic and to steer clear of obvious bait or BS and OP's with low quality.
I personally don't see any entertainment in dozens of threads with ever so slight variations on the same droning speculation and (often silly) ideas, regardless of topic.
