If it's a blatant piracy/warez thread like OMG GIMME WINXP CRACK, or GIMME KEYGEN, then no
Otherwise, I don't see emulator threads as a problem. In fact, saying "Go to the store, buy" is pretty ignorant since it's not possible to do for some games in some countries, or for older games which aren't in stores any longer. I'm sure many of us around here wouldn't have played FF6 or older if it wasn't for emulators. And should I ban everyone that's posted a thread about the NES FF3 and close all corresponding threads? I very much doubt anyone here (except perhaps Kishi) would have got the original game in japanese on a japanese console and played through that
Emulator threads and piracy threads are rather seperate things, the way I see it, and just because one can aid the other, doesn't make them the same.
Then there's also the fact that different people have different tolerances to whether certain things are piracy or not e.g. subtitled anime
