There's no stopping people from spewing rubbish online as there's no consequence.
A better way is to foster a constructive community. Have a way for people to make useless ramblings invisible. A good example will be the Hacker News community which revolves mainly around technology and business topics. The readers are incredible constructive and useless comments are always voted down.
When people realise no one wants to read their useless comments, they'll leave eventually.
