View submission: Experimental reddit change: subreddits may now opt-out of /r/all
I believe /r/games will.
When /r/games gets a big thread, like the ps4 announcement, that reaches all the quality of comments plummets into oblivion. They tag the thread with "/r/all" so people will know that its going to be a cesspit.
I believe the mods there have expressed in not being in /r/all.

Correct, /u/Hypobasis. We received a message by /u/alienth about an hour ago telling us that they had already given us the experimental feature. We have always wished to opt-out of /r/all because of the extreme amounts of low effort comments, trolls, drama and personal attacks that occur when threads hit the top #100.

That's not actually true. The quality of discussion doesn't change in the slightest. It is entirely the power of suggestion from that "/r/all" tag that you think it does.
