Lets then leave Competitors as a forum where that kind of discussion is allowed. Then concentrate on stopping that content from spreading to other parts of the forum.
Hard to do when posts are being submitted in the wrong forum to begin with. Simply moving them to the correct forum doesn't help either because the fire at that point has already been started.

As far as "stopping the content from spreading", I truely believe that is these threads and similar that help to propogate the spread of the originally undesired types of thread:
  1. I hate N900 thread gets started
  2. I hate people who write "I hate N900" threads get started
  3. I hate people who write "I hate people who write 'I hate N900'" thread gets started
  4. so on
  5. so forth
  6. ....
