Dear mods of /r/gaming, enforce a "game name" policy, please


I understand that this post may be a little iffy on the first rule of this community, but I assure you this affects the whole subreddit, so I beg that it be recognized.

Now for the issue: Every time I go to a comment section of a hot page post on this subreddit, the first or second top comment is always "game name?", "What is this game?" and "What game is this?" There are of course the awesome redditors who NAME THE GAME IN BRACES next to their post. I mean, how hard is it add the title of the game next to your gif, video, or image?

The only option that will guarantee that you mods can put a stop to this is by removing posts that do not have the title, and give the poster the reason why. It will most definitely cause disappointment, but it'll only be a matter of DAYS before the mass majority of posters will start adding the game title to the post. I believe it would indeed put a larger workload on you mods, but after awhile you wont need to enforce these rules once they are being followed. And if the nameless posts return, then rinse and repeat.

Of course there would be exceptions. My speech above only refers to videos, gif, and images of video games, and not pictures of video game paraphernalia or gear, discussion, etc.

Please listen to this, moderators, I really like /r/gaming and I know that enforcing this rule would improve the quality of this subreddit.
