More severe moderation in update threads?

I'm one of the guilty parties of that discussion. Unfortunately my standards drop to that of the thread, I'd rather mods just removed all our off topic chat (in update threads), and we'd all get the message. Unfortunately I give in to the 'if you can't beat them, join them' attitude. If there's a conversation I'd like to join in on, it's tough to say 'hey everyone, come with me to chat about this elesewhere' (I did try it with one topic), and easy just to join in.
