Woah, not having the post numbers at the right side had me thrown off guard for a bit.
Anyways

>Maybe ignoring won't make him leave, but it won't make him stay
This is not something that you know for sure, though.
>All he wants is attention, and by replying you're giving him exactly that.
This is, again, under an assumption that he won't learn at all. I mean, I never took a psychology course or anything, and I don't often make contact with other people, so it might be just my naivety, but I believe that presenting some "well-thought argument" would do well to train many of these savages.

>Boards like /tg/ [...]
I was under the impression (as a non-regular of /tg/), that the board just has a very defined scope of acceptable posts, and has a relatively strict mod.
>I've heard that /jp/ has strict mods, so just report it and ignore it. If you reply, avoid replying again.
Heh

This particular poster that caused the issue, though, seemed like he was looking for "a chill ass conversation", that is, discussion, of VNs.
>Don't waste your time trying to explain the culture, rules or make him understand. They won't.
I understand the point that your bunch is trying to make, but really, what makes you so sure that even people like the poster in question won't learn? Sure, he did say that he's not "conforming to [our] petty clubhouse rules", but had he really wanted to join in on the conversation, it is to my belief that he would have adopted a better form of posting.
Phew, I wish there were others who replied to the poster, to present their argument on here, since my personal opinion can only take this discussion so far.
Now, a(n) (un)scientific experiment comparing the rate of "jprules" adaption would be very interesting, but quite hard to perform due to the anonymous nature of our board.
Thanks for presenting your side of the arguments. I will give more thought before replying to (or consciously ignore) such posters in future.
PS: Sure is nice not having captcha.
